#CATHERINE FULL BODY VOICE ACTORS PLUS#

But every puzzle requires a great degree of quick thinking too, because the stage’s bottom layers slowly fall off one row at a time, plus you’re incentivized with higher scores, better trophies, and greater coin rewards for quick-climbing combos. Oftentimes, going up forces you to think outside the box (pun intended) by sacrificing a few layers or dangling blocks on its edges. This requires a lot of cognitive exertion, in particular your visuo-spatial ability, planning, and foresight. Navigating through each of the puzzles is the main point of the game. As Vincent advances in later stages, the blocks and the tower itself increases in complexity and difficulty, adding new block properties such as immovable ones, heavy blocks, blocks with deadly traps, and crumbling blocks to name a few. Instead, Vincent has to move, reposition, or remove these blocks to open up a staircase going up. But it’s not as easy as just simply climbing to the top. Whenever Vincent goes to sleep, he is thrust into a shared nightmare world with other sheep, and struggle to climb a crumbling tower of blocks to reach the exit at the top. The Full Body remaster’s defining feature is the inclusion of Rin, a new character that adds another layer of complexity to Vincent’s problems.Ĭatherine: Full Body, for all intents and purposes, is a puzzle game. The players, as Vincent Brooks, now have to ultimately deal with his real-life problems through various social interactions and dialogue options, as well as navigate through more than 30 block puzzles in his nightmares. But the troubles don’t stop in the waking world, as Vincent is also thrust into a gauntlet of block puzzle challenges in his dreams that will result in his untimely death should he not survive climbing up. His indecision and procrastination to take back control of his life is compounded by the complication of suddenly finding himself awake after a one-night stand with a svelte, blond woman named Catherine. His dilemma stems from stagnation at work, and a stale yet still stable romantic relationship with his long-time girlfriend, Katherine McBride, who has begun hinting at marriage at the onset of the game. The English voice actors also reprised their specific roles in the game for additional scripts, while the Japanese voice for the Catherine character has a long list of seiyuu to choose from, such as Nana Mizuki, Mamiko Noto, and Rie Kugimiya to name a few.Ĭatherine, and the Full Body remaster, tell the story of Vincent Brooks, a 32-year old man in a quarter-life crisis. Studio 4 ☌ returned to produce more anime cutscenes, especially for new route.
