Thunderbolt: In a market flooded with me-too shooters, HD re-releases, and generally dominated by Western games, Catherine can’t help but stand out. From the creators of the Persona series, Catherine is an intriguingly bizarre tale that blends human drama, horror, and comedy as well as dealing with subject matter rarely if ever seen in a videogame. Its strangeness is undoubtedly its biggest strength, but also its weakness since there’s really nothing to compare it to.
Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.
Deadly Premonition is a pretty weird game, but all of these absolute oddities are even weirder.

The subject of this Looking Back article is something a little different however, as it deals with infidelity and the fallout that comes the way of the straying main character. Intrigued? Well, come with me to the weird world of 2011’s Catherine!"
