I'm right at the end of Catherine (I think), at the Cathedral. Is this safe for me to read? Are there ending spoilers afoot? I'm curious, as I'd really like to read this, but I didn't wanna potentially ruin the game by doing so.
I guess the end result of my discussion is an analysis of the major three characters: Katherine, Catherine, and Vincent, as well as a small discussion of the obvious metaphor of the tower.
So no, nothing specific is actually mentioned. I just wanted to be courteous to people who plan on playing but haven't even started.

(Small warning: No major spoilers ahead, but I will talk about certain endings without going into details. You have been warned.)
I agree for the most part (and I think it is an awesome game), however, there was one small letdown considering the buildup and themes of the story: Catherine's endings.
Katherine's endings and the Freedom endings all work rather well. They fit and send the right message, fitting your choices, but the way Catherine's endings play out ... I think they do not work well. They lack... applicability.
Yes, the story has clear supernatural themes, but I think this should have been kept out of the endings for the most part. As it is, the Catherine endings do not really show well, how choosing a life of freedom can work out well for someone like Vincent "in real life".
They are funny though, so they have that going for them.

It's interesting to hear your girlfriend's perspective, and it certainly isn't as black and white as Katherine = good, Catherine = bad. Playing the game honestly, and answering questions based on heartfelt reactions is rewarding, but I felt like I should lean towards one extreme or another. Perhaps it's just the way that games revolving around choices have learnt me to be, but if I'm playing a game like Catherine a little voice in my head is telling me to be all the way Catherine, or all the way Katherine. Not to be middling and drift between the two.
Interesting theories and viewpoints, and beutifuly but together, I genuinely enjoyed reading this , great job man. I mostly went With Catherine, but I think they made great move showing Katherine as not just this nagging bitch, but also a loving and caring person, making you kind of torn weather or not you want to stay with her , witch is pretty prominent theme in the game. It made me stop and really think about who I wanted to be with. Some of the questions where kind of odd-ball though , and kind of felt out of place and wacky but hey , I enjoyed it :) Anyways , enough of my babbling , what I really wanted to say was that liked this blog !
@Lou Chou I feel like if you need to lean to the extreme, is that so out of the ordinary? Most of my choices leaned towards order. Not all, but most, so that can be pretty extreme. But I think it's important to note that video games may be desensitizing us what it means to be extreme, especially when it comes to black and white choices. And I think that's what I took away from playing Catherine and talking it over with my girlfriend.
Very interesting discussion! During my first playthrough, I went with Katherine because I thought she was more attractive, and also because Catherine seemed kinda psycho. The way she kept talking about dying or killing Vincent if he ever cheated on her made me really nervous.
@Enkido: Unfortunately, Midnight Venus doesn't have very much screen time. Her afro is quite magnificent though!
