Rin’s existence in Full Body however, gives you hints that something is indeed wrong. With the original plot, the game has you doubting whether the whole Nightmare experience is even real. You see, the whole game has 2 settings: the Real World and the Nightmare World. HOWEVER (and without spoiling), her mere existence does remove a layer of story-telling from the actual core plot. Like I said, in terms of narrative, she seems clean. There IS one critique about Rin STORY-WISE. She pops from the background so playing “Let’s Spot the New Character” just seems to easy. She seems to stand out from the crowd because, while her story is cleanly woven, her art style just seemed new. I will comment however, that Rin just seems so different VISUALLY from everyone else. I mean sure, it’s not perfect, especially during the “confessional” scenes where the game quite blatantly tells you “THIS IS FOR A NEW POSSIBILITY,” but coming from the perspective of someone who just played his first Catherine game, she did seem to fit story-wise. The impressive thing here is that Qatherine’s story is woven into the core story of the game almost seamlessly. She ends up working in the bar where Vincent and his friends drink and even finds herself living next door to Vincent. In addition to Katherine (Vincent’s existing girlfriend) and Catherine (a mysterious new flame who just suddenly enters Vincent’s life), you now have Qatherine AKA Rin who has amnesia and is a new love interest for Vincent. Most notably of all is the addition of another “-atherine” to the already complicated love story of Vincent. Now, the MAIN difference between Catherine Classic and Catherine: Full Body is that there are new additions to the story. You can match with players online and simultaneously play with or against each other. Since fans of the community enjoyed playing Catherine competitively, Catherine: Full Body leans into this by having this mode available. Another feature is its online multiplayer.
