Splitkick 9.0 Catherine (360)

Make no mistake, Catherine is mindfully quirky, tragically dark and one of the most difficult games I’ve played in recent memory. It also happens to be wonderfully enthralling and all-together matchless. Trying to explain why I was left with these sensations is another matter, kind of like attempting to describe what a summer day feels like as a kid. It’s not so much about the words, but what’s in between them; the joy of exploration or the possibility that anything could happen. You see, Catherine is a feeling.
