XxViPeRsXx Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Lol anyone else blast through the game in 1-2 weeks and can't stop thinking about blocks? Like if I do anything with my frontal cortex (reading, writing, coding, etc.) I see ghost blocks and try to make new 'solutions'. I see them right now. Wonder how long this will last before my brain recovers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcySeaSurfer Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I have this fairly regularly when I've been binging a puzzle game. It usually goes away after a couple of days once I've got engrossed in a new game! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monteblommie Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 It's pretty widely documented as the so called "tetris effect" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetris_effect I had the same happen to me, it's like your brain is teaching itself solutions for the next time you play. Kinda strange that your brain processing power is being used against your conscious will. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
residentgamer5 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I have indeed suffered from this. Catherine is one of my favorite games of all time and when I used to play it for hours I ended up dreaming about blocks and thinking about new solutions all the time, making long staircases with blocks in my head. And I also always heard "edge" in my head lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x13thDestati Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Haha yes, I also suffered from this! When I tried to sleep I always kept thinking about the blocks and tried to come up with new solutions. Edge! Edge! Edge! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hybridhero102 Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 When I did the catherine plat I legit saw block puzzles every time I closed my eyes for the following two weeks. The game is so meta it gives you real nightmares ?? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eli_bloodthirst Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 I've blocked it out of my mind.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaserPL Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 After playing through the game so many times, every time I hear "new record" said by anyone I go back to Catherine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
