The game's story is a mature exploration of relationships and difficult choices, featuring multiple branching paths and 13 possible endings that enhance replayability. While the voice acting is praised and the overall narrative is engaging, some players feel that certain character arcs, particularly that of Rin, feel disconnected from the main plot. The combination of challenging puzzles and a compelling storyline creates an immersive experience, appealing primarily to those who appreciate story-driven gameplay.

“The characters are eccentric, the story is great, and the gameplay makes for a super immersive experience, which is why this game is so great.”
“Catherine is a story game about a guy who is stuck in a love triangle situation.”

The gameplay of "Catherine: Full Body" features new characters, music, and modes, enhancing the original experience while introducing online features. However, its puzzle mechanics and time pressure may frustrate some players, particularly those who struggle with quick thinking, potentially leading to repeated restarts. While the immersive story and eccentric characters are praised, the gameplay is considered mediocre, appealing mainly to those who prioritize narrative over mechanics.

“The characters are eccentric, the story’s great, and the gameplay makes for a super immersive experience, which is why this game is so great.”
“Gameplay may turn off some people since it's a puzzle game, and to make matters worse, you're under pressure with the floor below you constantly reminding you of your impending doom. If you're not a quick thinker, you may find yourself having to restart over and over, possibly frustrating you to the point where you may look up a walkthrough (I wouldn't blame you).”
“Overall decent game but only for those who want a story-heavy plot with mediocre gameplay.”

The humor in the game is highlighted by a quirky feature involving a mask, which adds a lighthearted touch to the experience. However, some players feel that the overall comedic elements are overshadowed by the game's reliance on recycled content, including characters and cutscenes.
“There is a funny little feature in the game where you put on the mask... if you know, you know! 😂 In all honesty, it’s a literal cut and paste of the game with a new character, new cutscenes, and new endings with the new character.”
