As somebody who isn't attracted to anime tropes and aesthetics, let me just say: This is a pretty fun game, I don't care much for puzzle games but this one is addicting. The narrative was also pretty entertaining. Don't be afraid of this one, it was worth the 30 dollars I payed for it a few years back, it's a no brainer for 3 dollars.

Just do the right thing and choose Katherine.

Best game of last generation. I went in expecting to hate it because the Persona team is very overrated (coming from someone who enjoyed Persona 3 and 4.)

Anime tropes I find very annoying.

It's their best effort of all time.

Seriously it's a game changer. The variety in the puzzles, and the ways to restrategize are amazing.

Anyone who says the gameplay is poor I would seriously doubt has played it.

 

[Rell]

the game is like a dating and hangout sim version of Block Dude.

love the part where you chill with your bros at the bar.

it's all a story about a guy who is cheating on his girlfriend and his conscience is tearing him a new one for it.

despite the anime nonsense I really liked it.

very original game.

 

[giancarlo123x]

Already own it on ps3 but for this price and convenience of bc, I double dipped.

 

[Voliko]

The story and characters are your worthless anime tropes, made worse as the agency for the player is presented as existing, yet does not. The gameplay is receptive and bad, made needlessly difficult to extend the length of the already short game.

It ended, I hated it, and wish I could have returned my time, money, and energy in caring about this terrible game made by a talent-wasted team.

The gameplay is miles ahead of another braindead RPG. There's nothing else quite like it

 

[oneida]

Anyway to bypass region restrictions for this?

Made a USA gamertag etc but it won't accept my non USA card :/

EDIT: All sorted. Just had to use a VPN when paying with my non USA card

Can't wait to play

have others successfully done this to get the NA price? seems like there were some out of towners trying to get in on it.

 

[Tapejara]

Thanks for the heads up Oneida!

Catherine is a really mediocre game, seriously overrated here. Nice artwork but the actual game part kinda sucks.

It's a game about moving boxes. Do not buy if you're not a fan of puzzle games and manga.

it's three dollars

Yeah you're not getting burned if you don't like it. Still, time is worth something, I wish I could get back the time I spent with Catherine.

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

Will this be for uk too?

Even if you think it's overrated here other outlets disagree that it's a great game and is a fun challenge with an interesting story. For 3 dollars there is fun to be had,the multi-player alone is worth the price.

 

[sibarraz]

Do you need a credit card to buy 360 games on pc? I can't buy it, even though I have money on my account

 

[yopmoi]

No Catherine offer in Europe?? What a shame!

no, but try this vv

What VPN did you use? TunnelBear didn't do it for me - still got 'This offer is not valid in your region.'

 

[Leopold]

I want to buy it but I'm outside my region

 

[Shotgun Kiss]

If somebody could post specific instructions for using a VPN to buy it at a reduced price, I'd be immensely grateful!

 

[TonberrysKnife]

You're a fool if you don't get this. It's worth it and it's a fucking steal.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Friendly reminder, Catherine brought us the scene that lead to this.

By all means.. Which tropes are you referring to? Because I don't think you are using that term correctly.

I strongly support this ^

 

[SprachBrooks]

Catherine, the best game last generation. Get it. It's daylight robbery really.

God-based Atlus, here's hoping Persona 5 cultivates the same atmosphere and social elements, like chilling in a bar and connecting with your friends.

try buying it on your bone

 

[mattwhite924]

Funny, I still remember feeling slightly embarrassed as I brought the case to the checkout counter at GameStop too. Turns out the gal at the register had already played it and raved about how good it was!

The girl at the checkout counter at the Best Buy I got mine at just looked at the box, looked back up at me, and said "really?"

Though I just found out that some retailers had slightly censored box art. It's just a bit more zoomed in on the faces, but it's still interesting.

It's a game about moving boxes. Do not buy if you're not a fan of puzzle games and manga.

I'm not into anime or manga at all, and I'm not huge into puzzle games, but I still enjoyed it.

 

[moltonasty]

Instabuy at that price, thanks OP.

Been wanting to try this game out for a while, at that price it's impossible to resist!

 

[SirKhalid]

Thinking of buying it, has there been any games published by Atlus that was given with GwG?

 

[oneida]

No

just buy it, it's three smackeroos

 

[deadfolk]

No

just buy it, it's three smackeroos

I'd buy it in a heartbeat if it was this price in EU.

 

[FinKL]

Played and liked the demo YEARS ago.

Bought even though there's no time

 

[LordBaztion]

Killer is dead is also on sale for $4

[Akuun]

It's an excellent game and one of the few really good portrayals of mature subject matter in a video game.

 

[Glix]

I loved when the FGC got into the vs mode in this game, its amazing to watch.

 

[thebigmachine]

Don't even own an Xbox, and I want to buy it. Guess I could play it on work's xbone.

Is KiD BC?

 

[Bits N Pieces]

£14.99 here in the UK.

I feel like I've been moaning about UK digital prices for a while now and I can only see it getting worse over the next few years

 

[Zeta Oni]

Is KiD BC?

Yes, just bought it on the Xbone

 

[The perfect Dark]

Amazing game but it gets very frustrating even on the lowest difficulty.

 

[SlipperyFishes]

Oh man! Catherine is an amazing game! Was a bit embarrassing walking up to the checkout counter with the physical version of it back when it was new though. XD

I've always been tempted to get the 360 version for it's better cover though.

Matttttt. How come you don't post in PD anymore?

I mean, Catherine is not the worst offender for saucy box art.

 

[phant0m]

Done.

 

[opoth]

I'm in.

 

[Dash Kappei]

The fuck, why does it show up at €19,90 on the Italian store?
Don't wanna open my copy just to have it installed anyway (x1's bc)...

NA only

That's some bullshit, Xbox sales are usually worldwide (contrary to Sony's)

 

[Van Bur3n]

I've been interested in playing this game for years but have never bought it. I suppose now is the perfect time to finally do it.

 

[deadfolk]

Yep. I'm gutted.

 

[KAOS]

Awesome game! Awesome price! Tough as heck though!

 

[Suburban Thug]

One of the best games of the last generation and I purchased at full price. No excuse for anyone not to try it at $2.99. Damn, wish I was at the stray sheep kicking back a few right now...
