Board 8 > Playing Catherine for the first time.

(+) Yeah! (+)

*SPOILERS AS I PROGRESS*


About to begin the third day/stage's first floor...weird and interesting! This is my first Atlus game, and I've only got it for a few days.

Don't know where to even begin asking questions, or if I should.....

best version of Q-Bert

probably the hardest game I ever beat

As an actor, actors in sex scenes seems to me like a pretty lucky gig...OH NO I'M EVIL'ISH

Edit: And I don't believe it when it tells me I'm in the minority here either!
---

Time for EDGE
---

Paradise is more like a beach, but I'll take a countryside. That's more like home anyway...plus you can BYOB. You can't BYOP at a bar.

Also these bells...bells bells bells!
---

I feel like I just came across yo's either best fantasy or worst nightmare: a giant ass with a tongue.

I just got asslicked to death, and yes I will retry.
---

Catherine is quite the experience!
---

I always thought that was a vagina...a weirdly grotesque monster vagina, but it could be a butt monster.

I never figured that out.
---

Considering how many times it has sprayed its pink love all over me and tongue-lathered me to pieces, I like to think I know a big-ass licker when I see one.

Then again, I could be wrong and that's why the vagine-o-monster's wrecking me.
---

I know I haven't had sex that often, but if anal causes pink stuff to shoot out, I seem to be confused about the whole process. And Clerks told me you don't go ass to mouth. I always preferred clothed to avoid problems.

...what the fuck am I talking about? Oh, Catherine being a fucked up game. Right. All I know is thinking about this madness again has probably set me up for the nightmare from hell. I didn't sleep during my playthrough. I think I played 10-15 straight to the end to avoid residual wrath. At least that's what I told myself would happen if I slept without finishing.
---

While I'm getting pussy-lisped and booty tongue-slapped over here, this is an important time for a PSA: Atlus named this the Immoral Beast, and kink-shaming is WRONG.
---

Aw yeah, really smacked that ass this time. Church music after its death is...off-putting.
---

Assplay. The kinky thing they did was assplay, wasn't it?

Pregnancy jam, oh shit.
---

Yes, because religion is the perfect conduit for discussion, openness, and tolerance of stuff like this. Atlus loves fucking with people using the lowest hanging fruit before busting both the fruit AND our balls with a sledgehammer.

Mmmmmhmm

"Go back home and drink some strawberry milk kid."
---

Why does Toby hang out with those idiots anyway...or more like why do they let him? You'd think they'd have Erica card him and throw his ass out.
---

Toby's 23.
---

Really? Yuri sure as hell doesn't make him sound it. Maybe that's the point. Contrast 3 heavy voiced actors with a guy who almost always sounds like a dweeb. Note I said voiced. Even by now, you can tell Vincent is not packing a backbone.
---

I appreciate that this game allows me to jump Rapunzel's bones as soon as I touch her hair. This game's all about one's fantasies, huh.....
---

Yo, what the fuck is up with that baby in my bathroom mirror.

Everyone else is around 10 years older. Toby sounds his age, I know a lot of guys older than him that sound way dorkier. If anything Vincent's friends sound way too hardcore for being in their early 30s.
---

Girlfriend's asking if I'm out drinking again.

Uh-oh. Time to dip out of the Stray Sheep.
---

Aw man, the Stray Sheep has so many good conversations though! Just tell her you're not there. No one has to know........
---

I forgot to save in the real world so I'm trying to beat one more puzzle, but this is hard. Falling blocks is a major pain.
---

Alright, there goes that awful wall-puzzle and four fat sheep. Time to quit.

Cool game so far though! I see the game's being sure to guilt me overtly while it's subtly pushing me toward making less faithful choices (when it's not actively making bad choices happen for me). The text messages stand out to me -- Catherine's little sigh when you open hers up VS Katherine's little giggle when you read her texts.

Hope I can beat this quickly! Gotta give my brother his Xbone back by Thursday and I wanna try Yooka-Laylee sometime too.
---

So, did you look?
---

What, when Katherine wanted to send me pics? Didn't respond to her.
---

Katherine is girlfriend. Catherine is fling.

Better not scream the wrong one in bed, she'll totally be able to tell.

(you can look in the spoiler tags, it is just a dumb comment, not actually spoilers)
---

Ah, damn damn damn. Names are hard!
---

About to start again...the title screen was already catchy, but now I see its excellence much better. Better noticing the Jesus parallels here too, though I don't know enough Biblical stuff to go deep into this comparison.
---

Going with my gut is an evil choice and logic is a well-meaning choice? Hmmmmm...think I get it, but I don't think either of them are good or bad.
---

Man...baby packs a punch!
---

Baby status: blasted. #DADDY
---

That boss fight reflects my interest in dealing with children.

A living hell should that ever happen.
---

"Oh, and...I AM pregnant. Just thought you should know."

"You don't know how that makes me feel. Seriously."


Okay, becoming an Atlus fan. Too bad they don't work with Steam!
---

The choices are less Good/Evil and more Order/Chaos (in spite of the little angel and devil icons)
---

Oh hey, the game's suddenly teaching me about Prohibition.

To put that into further context for someone who hasn't played Shin Megami Tensei games, in Catherine it's more like Playing It Safe vs. Free Spirited. It ends up coming across as somewhat Good vs Evil because leaning towards Catherine makes you more of a cheater, though.
---

Tag, I really adore this game. Definitely one of a kind.

They got the same voice actor to do a similar thing in P5. LET ME EXPLAIN!

Edge is dominating my brain. Even when text is advancing and the little spinning squares connect to indicate the next set of text, I think edge.

I shattered a dude's testicle in an unwanted fight before. Yeah, I'll fight dirty.

Come on game, let me hit the back button if I see I'm about to die!
---

Another floor down! I think this next room will be a boss battle, so I'll wrap it up after that.

For now though, these sheep are getting pretty familiar at this point.....
