Catherine. Or possibly Rapunzel.


It's a puzzle game. With a huge story.
And boss battles.
I love Atlus. I don't know what they put in the water in that company, but they come up with some crazy awesome ideas. Like the later Persona games - take a rather hard dungeon crawler and cross it with a sort of dating sim, and it turns out to be great. Or take a reasonable idea like making an operation game but then add magical abilities, viruses that are closer to monsters, and at one point have you operate on a bomb. And now there's Catherine, which is a puzzle game surrounded by a whole lot of plot about cheating and starring a guy in boxer shorts.
