PartOfYourWorld 08/05/11 3:34:00 PM #1:	apart from the developer's name? I don't know how deep or innovative Catherine's relationship system, but from what I've actually seen of the core gameplay (block puzzles), I can't see it as the main reason people would be interested in this game. Despite that, however, it seems to be unquestionably the most popular game ever in this genre. What's up with that? -- Yoblazer: http://oi52.tinypic.com/ad21i1.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! <cite>PartOfYourWorld posted [p:175320] in What separ...

Leebo86 08/05/11 3:42:00 PM #11:	It's not a dating sim really. The story involves relationships, and you can talk to the girls, but you're not really doing the kinds of things you do in dating sims. Also, the block puzzles are far deeper and more interesting than I originally thought they were. Mostly because they didn't show any gameplay beyond the first 30 minutes. It's also hard to grasp why the puzzles are challenging until you're the one moving the blocks around. -- Connecticut Huskies <cite>Leebo86 posted [p:175330] in What separ...

PartOfYourWorld 08/05/11 3:48:00 PM #12:	I figured the puzzles would be too challenging, if anything. I'm not a very quick thinker or that smart of a guy, so the harder levels would probably do a number on me. I also like taking my time to explore when gaming and haven't really been "pressured" in single player games since the SNES days. -- Yoblazer: http://oi52.tinypic.com/ad21i1.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! <cite>PartOfYourWorld posted [p:175331] in What separ...
