Would it be poor form for me to say “finally” again? Because it felt like this day took an eternity in coming. After months of hype over its mature themes and salacious marketing, we finally have information on how one actually plays the action portion of Persona Team’s first HD game, Catherine.
So, what will Vincent be doing in the monstrous nightmares he has? A lot of climbing, from the sounds of it.
