Much like Persona 5, Catherine: Full Body will feature a 'safety' difficulty setting, allowing those who just want to experience the story to play through the game without having to worry about failing gameplay sections. The official website reads: "Choose from four difficulty settings, including Safety, Easy, Normal, and Hard. In Safety, traps do not activate, there is no time limit, game overs do not exist, and you can even skip the action puzzle entirely. Guarantee you will reach the ending by choosing Safety!"
The puzzles in the original Catherine were sometimes incredibly tricky, often requiring a number of retries in order to wrap your head around them. And again, like Persona 5, Catherine's a game with a lot of cool character interactions and plot elements, so it's nice that developer Atlus is letting players choose how they want to play.
As always, we're in full support of difficulty options like this. Some people just aren't able to play through games in the same way as others can, and hey, there's nothing wrong with wanting to focus your attention on the story.
What do you make of this? Avoid demonic girlfriends in the comments section below.

@RogerRoger Like the discussion we had a week or two ago!
They should have called it "Safe word" instead
@3Above You're absolutely right. Hopefully it gets localised as that!
Just as well, the game can be quite challenging at times. Although been chased up a tower block by a giant demon baby is enough to make anyone panic.

@adf86 Yeah, just thinking about it made you hit 'reply' twice!
@shogunrok Yeah something was up with my browser, so whatever.
Normal will be fine for me for my first playthrough. I enjoy puzzles, and a bit of a challenge as long as it's not too frustrating. Difficulty options are always great to have though.
But why isn't there an option to pay for it? If I learned anything from EA and Ubisoft is that I must have to pay for the option to have an option.
this is awesome news
@Kidfried So it is, thanks for the tag!
I've never heard of this game before. Given this news, maybe I'll look up a trailer, or perhaps some gameplay footage, or some... some...
...some...

...or, y'know, maybe I'll just scream and run away.
Please can we have the vita version atlus. I dont care if its digital only
I can't wait for this deliciously dark little game. The original was excellent although a little hard at times with the puzzles and what not. The pure flirtatious and personas of the women are are like a drug, very addictive indeed. I hope we get it the same time as Japan in February 🤞
You mean "casual mode"?
Casual gamer reporting in.
Thank you for the Easy Mode. Now I can play this game without walk-though...
