Catherine Classic

Catherine Classic is an action-adventure puzzle game about Vincent, who must choose between Katherine, his long-time girlfriend, and Catherine, a blonde woman he has just woken up beside. His decisions shape a branching romantic horror story about free will, relationships and the choices people make, with outcomes that can put his life at risk.

Vincent’s choices

Katherine intends to marry Vincent someday, while Catherine has appeared unexpectedly. Both women pull at his heart and soul, and his story can take many paths.

Climb the nightmare tower

In Vincent’s nightmares, you move blocks to make a path up a tower while monsters chase you. The lowest blocks fall as time passes, so you must keep moving or fall with them. Each night, the setting rises higher, and later stages require more complex strategies.

Traps can skewer climbers, while explosive blocks damage everything nearby. Other sheep in the nightmare are trying to survive until morning; they can obstruct you, disrupt your blocks or shove you off. Strange items can help you deal with the sheep, remove hazards or create new paths.
