If you've tried Catherine before and you were put off by its devilishly difficult puzzles, safety could be the answer.

Then, when Vincent goes home and hits the sack, it's nightmare city, as the protagonist (or indeed, antagonist, depending on your actions), pushes and pulls blocks in order to climb the towers of a fiendish dreamscape. Catherine: Full Body s animated cutscenes also look good while using Switch as a handheld, and the actual gameplay sections are clear and easy to navigate.
During the evening, Vincent hangs out at his local bar, chatting to his pals at your discretion, with the dialogue choices you make having an effect on the outcome of the story. As mentioned, Catherine is broken up into two distinct styles of gameplay.
