一言で言うとスタンレーパラブルみたいなゲームです。 ただし、皮肉な物言いのナレーションはありません。となるとスタンレー要素ゼロじゃないかと言われそうですが、FPS視点でなんでもありの世界を進んでいき、少しずつ作り手の言いたいことを感じ取っていく形式のゲームです。ナレーションの代わりに英語で主人公の内省テキスト(独り言)が出てくるので、それをもとになんとなく誘導されるように進んでいきます。スタンレーのように反抗して新しい展開を引き寄せる展開はほぼないです。また、単純にボリュームも少なく値段相応かセール価格相当です。 開発の情報があまりないのですが、物や掲示物に日本のものが多かったです。偶然使用したモデル集が日本よりだったのかもしれませんが、ストーリーの既視感なども相まって日本人が開発に関わっているのかなと感じました。 ストーリーの内容はネタバレになりそうなので言いませんが、人生観の話なんかも出たりするのでプレイヤーの受け取り方に幅が出るだろうなあと思いました。グラフィックにはあら目のテクスチャも目立ちますが、FPS視点で様々な環境を見せてその雰囲気を伝えたいことに利用する演出は好きな方です。周回プレイが基本ですが、ショートカットもちゃんと用意されています。 この類でお馴染みの数字キーを入力してロックを解除する扉があります。現時点(18/3/31)ではフォーラムなんかでも情報が出回ってないので、そういうのが好きな人も挑戦してみてはどうでしょうか。
Игра явно хочет показаться больше чем она есть по наполнению, более веселой. Но почему то некоторые мысли смогли достучаться, заставили задуматься, хах. Но скажу ли я, что это было познавательные или веселые часы? Врядли. Баг с автобусом(если это баг) вывел из себя, потратил час наверно, чтобы не провалиться под землю.

i wasnt expecting it to be what it was but i loved it!
a adventure / walking simulator game. overall it's alright. some good areas. the price of this game is in offer for -50% alright.
Catarse é o experimentar da liberdade em relação a alguma situação opressora. O jogo brinca com esse conceito tão bem que dá gosto de continuar explorando para ver todas as saídas possíveis. É muito subjetivo e precisa de uma certa sensibilidade para achar sentido na história. Lembra o Stanley Parable e quem assistiu a série The Good Place vai se divertir com as referências parecidas sobre moral e ética.
Katharsis, in a nutshell, is a poor man's Stanley Parable, with no voiced narration, some interesting ideas and overall an extremely short total playtime of not more than 4 hours, even when counting all secrets and different endings. It's exceptionally cheap though and feels somewhat experimental but all in all, it's neither a truly good game nor a high production value. Not even remotely. But is it fun? Yes, I do believe so. I wasn't bored playing it, it had enough variety to keep things somewhat interesting and I actually liked some of the ideas implemented. Won't spoil anything story wise, but this is a very abstract game, so if you aren't into abstract storytelling, this will leave you confused and unhappy. Otherwise, dive in.
This game is truly awful. I think it tries waaaay too hard to be the stanley parable and to be "mind blowing," but it just doenst challenge the mind, but moreso makes me insane walking aorund for so long aimlessly for some picture and a map??? I want to say it had been an hour i'd been walking around but It wasnt even that, it was just so intensely boring that it wasnt even entertainingly confusing. For example the stanley parable and games like portal are actually confusing and intruiging to the mine, but this is just mindLESS. Now I havent played the game all the way through so I am not sure of the rest of the game and may look at some gamelay of it, but of the time I wasted on this game, although not a lot, made me unsatisfied for the price it was at. I got it on sale, but it definitely isnt worth $4.99 USD for something that could easily be made into a fun and somewhat good gameor that could be found by thinking about world events and not mentioned but hinted to the vietnam war. Pay for some good documentaries or something for an actually helpful and mind-enriching thing. Being a gamer I dont consdier much of what I play to be mind-enriching, but if I do play these types of games, then they should probably be helpful, and not numbingly boring. Sorry for rant, but I felt the need to stress why NOT to get this game unless it becomes free.
게임에서 예술을 찾고 계신다면 추천드립니다. 스토리는 그럭저럭 괜찮으나, 게임성에서는 좋은 평을 내리기 힘드네요. 재미없습니다.
