Catherine: Full Body still delivers a truly singular experience even today: a boldly committed work that blends mature storytelling, logical challenges, and dark humor into a cohesive and captivating package. The abundance of extra content, strong visual presentation, and occasionally punishing yet ultimately rewarding gameplay make it an excellent experience overall. The only potential drawbacks are the difficulty, the controls, and the repetitive block-pushing sequences, which may frustrate some players—along with the fact that seeing all endings requires investing a considerable number of hours. That said, for those who are open to its unusual gameplay and its unconventional take on relationship issues, Catherine offers a genuinely unique experience that can linger in one’s memory for a long time.

Despite its flaws, The Séance of Blake Manor is a thoroughly enjoyable supernatural detective game, whether we look at its gameplay, story, cast of 25 characters, eerie environments, or overall atmosphere. And while the time limit may initially seem like it could create a stressful experience, the game is actually not difficult at all, and the mysteries lurking in the background are easy enough to unravel. Every room, hidden object, and overheard conversation brings us closer to the climactic séance, and the gradual drip-feeding of answers is so absorbing that I often had to make a conscious effort to turn the game off in the evenings. Unfortunately, a handful of bugs and the uneven quality of the puzzles do leave their mark and slightly tarnish the overall picture. Even so, it’s easy to recommend—a moody and engaging experience that offers around 16–18 hours of atmospheric entertainment.
