Demos out!! Catherine & Students of the Round on XBL Marketplace

[LordMatrix]

 1st impressions of Catherine:

It starts you off imediately on the 1st stage with blocks in your way and a monster coming up from below wanting to kill you. The premise is this... push pull & move the blocks out of your way or use them to make stairs leading up. All the while trying to maintain a good steady pace and grab money and other items as you race to the top before the monster kills you. Stage 1 is fairly easy and basic, stage 2 requires a little bit more thinking. At the end of a stage you get extra bonus safety points.

These points are calculated up by how far away the monster was from you by the time you reached the top & what diffuculty you are playing on. You also go though a scene in the diner where the main character chats with 2 buddies of his and on the news a mysterous death gets reported. A lonely man has died during the night. Looks like your cell phone will also be playing a role in the gameplay (I don`t know japanese so I didn`t know what was said sorry).

You get a text message from Katherine and then a few hours later run into Catherine at the diner and after stage 2 ends you wake up with her in your bed not knowing how or why. The game is more of a puzzle/adventure game from my experience so far. I enjoyed it and can`t wait to play more.

PS: If anyone who knows japanese can help explain some things in the demo or Students of the Round please post on here. :)
