This game is amazing, seriously, if you have not played it yet then you need too.


In a nut shell the game is about a man named Vincent who is dating a girl named Katherine. The two have been together for while and you can easily tell they are in that part of the relationship where they have lost their spark. Yes they love each other, but Vincent is at the point where he will stay out late with his friends, Katherine nags him about everything, they do not see each other as much, and when they do see each other it feels more like a routine. Then one night he meets a girl 10 years younger than him named Catherine and ends up sleeping with her. She falls in love with him and will not leave him alone. Vincent must decide if he wants Katherine or Catherine while having to do a strange task at night.


The game play basically goes like: cut scene during the day with Katherine, Catherine, or someone else, then at a pizza restaurant with Vincent and his friends, then finally the puzzles when you go to sleep. When at the pizza place you can talk to your friends, talk to other people there, play arcade games, and the most important part, send text messages. You will get messages from both Katherine and Catherine with your choice to respond to one, both, or none. You can be nice to one and mean to the other, nice to both, mean to both, or ignore both. What you say in you text also reflects on a morality meter which determines how the games story plays out and what ending you get. The puzzles at night are the main game play part and they are difficult. You have to climb blocks and hurry because each layer is slowly falling. Once you reach the top you ring a bell and get to a safe zone. Here you can save, buy stuff, and talk to other sheep. When you are ready to move on you go into a confessional and answer a question about love and relationships. Your answers affect your morality meter too and if you are online you get to see a pie graph of what other players choose too. The last stage of each night is a boss puzzle where you have to climb the puzzle while avoiding a bosses attacks.


The reason I love this game so much and gave it a perfect score is because of its challenge. Think of it as a sexy version of Demon Souls or Dark Souls. The difficulty is high, but that just makes finishing each puzzle all the more rewarding. I can't tell you have many times I had died while playing this game, but it never bothered me. Sure sometimes you die for a stupid reason because of the camera, but you get over it and keep trying . Also there are check points in each puzzle and usually and extra life after many of them. So if you die you can just keep getting that life back. I had close to 100 extra lives by the time I finished the game. There will be times when you keep dying over and over again, but once you finally finish that stage it will be all the more rewarding. If the puzzles were easier than it just wouldn't feel the same each time you finished one. The challenge is also great because of the way the story is. You really start to care for Vincent and want him to succeed, he becomes a character you really care about. If you are the kind of person who doesn't really like sex in games are feels the game might be too dirty it is not. Some of the scenes of Vincent and Catherine are a bit intimate, but nothing like in The Witcher 2. Yes the game is about love and relationships, but it is not going to be like the American Pie or any movie like that.
