As strange as this might sound, I'm really interested in Catherine. How is the gameplay in it? Is it all climbing and moving blocks or is there something else? I know everyone plays it for the story, but I'd like to know how the game plays out before I *maybe* buy it.
It's two games, basically. One side is real life, trying to get Vincent to talk to people about how to solve the cheating and decide to move forward with his pregnant girlfriend, the other side is crazy nightmarish block puzzles. The puzzles are pretty tricky, but they've got that frantic ohgodohgod I'm going to die feeling to them. I guess it can be frustrating if you get stuck, but I just keep at it a couple of times, and it's very rewarding when you get past a tough spot. And there are checkpoints, and a camera.

Hell, there's even a Very Easy mode if you hold down a button before selecting Easy difficulty if you get stuck.
