Jason Venter writes: "Catherine emphasizes plot a lot, and most of that unfolds in the bar. As you talk to other patrons, you can down drinks or play an old arcade game or interact with Catherine on your cell phone by way of text messages. Your choices impact a meter that tracks your decisions over the course of the game and fills or drains accordingly, but don’t mistake it for a simple morality meter. Rather, it measures the impact that your choices have on yourself and others in a broader sense. There’s not an ‘evil’ way or a ‘good’ way to answer Catherine when she asks what you think about a lot of other couples getting married, for instance. Instead, there are ways to show your interest or disdain for the notion in varying degrees."
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!"
Can't wait for this!
