#Catherine full body rin alien series
Persona 5, the latest in the series that’s elevated the company outside Japan, has a plot based on how adults use their power and privilege in a systemic away to manipulate children and the less fortunate into their bidding. Often times the company has great concepts, but never go past the shallow end of the pool. Much like the novelist’s works there’s a dark side under the mundane, but unfortunately, it’s a darkness very present and there’s nothing too magical about it.Ĭatherine is the best story Atlus has ever done. It tackles one of Murakami’s largest fascinations, infidelity, and has tons of sheep people, reminiscent of the Sheep Man featured in a lot of his early works.
I don’t know if the the game was inspired by Murakami’s work, but I wouldn’t be surprised. That’s one of the reasons Catherine caught my attention when it first released in 2011. I can somewhat understand, his work is often a mixture of mundane sprinkled with unexplained fantasy that rarely comes to a satisfying conclusion for the characters. By and large his works haven’t been adapted nearly as much as you’d expect from a writer so popular and prolific. There’s some, like the recent South Korean film, Burning, based on one of his short stories, or the 2010 adaptation of his most mainstream work, Norwegian Wood. The game is slated to come to North America and Europe in September of this year, so it’s possible that the localization team(s) and/or publishing branches/partners of Atlus in those regions may in some ways address or alter the content discussed by the time of its worldwide release.ĭespite being one of the bestselling authors in the world, Haruki Murakami hasn’t gotten a lot of adaptations of his work. Therefore, this will contain spoilers, and the contents discussed are from that version. Writer’s Note: Catherine: Full Body has only officially been released in Japan at the time of this article.
