Catherine
Has anyone else played the demo for this game yet? What a weird unique game. I got through the first puzzle with little problem. The second took me quite a bit longer...long enough to start to turn me off of the game. However, just as I was about to give up on it, I wrapped my head around what I need to do and finished it.
I think I might really like this game and am thinking about picking it up. |
Re: Catherine
I downloaded the demo, but I have not tried it yet.

Re: Catherine
It got a 9 on IGN, but doesn't look like my kind of game.

Re: Catherine
I've been interested in this game for a while now, since I first saw it in a magazine. It was talking about all the weird Japanese games.
Anyway tried the demo Saturday night, died like 20 times in a row. Tried it yesterday morning and passed the first puzzle on my first try. I wanted to play it more but my nephew was watching along and I didn't want to continue in case any mature stuff came up. Will try it more, but yes I will end up getting it, this game has me very intrigued. |

Re: Catherine
I ordered this one with a bunch of credit I had. I'm always in for something that defies categorization.

I tried it but kept dying, and this is the easy mode, will try one more time, if I can't get it will delete it.
I read somewhere that the American version will ship with a "Very Easy" mode (which was patched into the Japanese version). Apparently, a lot of Japanese gamers were complaining that "Easy" was too difficult. |
Re: Catherine
Finally got around to playing it. The box gameplay is terrible and way too hard, just not fun at all. The anime and other story stuff is fantastic, which makes me sad. If I get the game, I'll most likely never pass the box puzzles and never be able to finish the story :(

Re: Catherine
Just finished the demo. The gameplay is a dreadful bore. The storyline wasn't even slightly compelling (the horrid phoned-in voice acting only made it worse) enough to make it worthwhile. This was a very quick delete for me.
|
Re: Catherine
Picked up the game yesterday. The demo cut several of the cut scenes, and there were two additional puzzles in between the two puzzles in the demo. The second puzzle from the demo is much easier in the game than it was in the demo.
Really liking it so far. |
Re: Catherine
I am also finding it quite enjoyable so far. It's almost like two separate games - part interactive fiction and part puzzle game.
|
Re: Catherine
The interactive fiction stuff looks like it'd be interesting but the puzzle stuff just looks like a complete bore. I'll try the demo...
|
Re: Catherine
FWIW, the demo only has the very basic elements of the puzzle gameplay. The full game does do a good job of introducing new concepts as you progress. Of course, if you don't like the basic gameplay in the demo, you probably won't like the full game either.
|
Re: Catherine
Haven't tried it yet, but read on another forum that you enter "Very Easy" mode by hitting select on the difficulty select screen.

Re: Catherine
Is anyone else playing this? I just finished the boss section of night 5 and I can't remember the last time I felt so accomplished in a game. The story is completely off the wall. I'm glad they didn't make it a long game, otherwise I probably wouldn't invest the time. Great game so far.

Re: Catherine
The story really starts picking up after night 3. A lot of WTF moments.

Re: Catherine
I played the demo last night, and although the Q*Bert part sucks, I'm intrigued enough for the rest.
I will wait until it hits $20 though. |

Re: Catherine
I've reached the final push and I'm really annoyed with the layout they went with. I don't want to go into detail since it's somewhat of a spoiler but it's a bit like a slap in the face after all I've gone through to get to this point.
Either way, it's a great game for anyone who like puzzles or is a fan of the Persona series. My total play time will end up being right around 6 hours. |
