Lovers of puzzles games will have a great July. Catherine: Full Body is an action-puzzle multiplayer game created by Studio Zero set to launch on July 7.
This game follows the story of Vincent. He tries to juggle his relationship with his long-time girlfriend Katherine while having an affair with Catherine. To make things worst, he is finding comfort with Rin.
