Rating based on normal mode, will someday come back and do hard mode.
It's pretty good, just wish the spike switching part was shorter, as I felt it dragged on. It's pretty cool that some screens have multiple routes, but most of the time they're just not worth taking.

This game was truly ahead of its time. Gimmicky gameplay was definitely a thing back in 2013, but this game has so much variety that it truly stands out from other needle games from the early 10s. What truly makes this game exceptional is the amount of focus on artistic design. The atmosphere is really strong throughout the game, and there are some really bold screens that feel like they have an artistic purpose (like the platform screen). There are some annoyances, such as jumps that require low inputs, but overall this was a really interesting experience, and I'm definitely glad that this is the direction that a lot of modern needle makers decided to take.

Some screens full of low-frame jumps, thats why it get hard on membrane KB. That was painful in the moment, but other parts of game is really incredible designed.
Soundtrack making this game level higher.

Catharsis is a pretty legendary game at this point. It is a progenitor of artistic fangames, while also being pretty influential in terms of pure needle design (a popular gimmick is named after it)! Compared to some modern needle, it could be considered quite rough around the edges, but given its age it holds up surprisingly well. The majority of the game is quite enjoyable, bouncing between more precision focused sections and longer saves. One of the interesting hallmarks of this game is for screens to have several possible paths. It enhances the experience quite a bit, adding some player agency by allowing you to choose what you want to do.
The highlight of the game is definitely the audiovisual experience. It is masterful, evoking emotion, creating vibes, and inspiring deeper thought in away very few fangames have managed even in the many years after Catharsis. The game is haunting and beautiful, and both times I've played it I've been left thinking about it for some time.
Overall, I consider this a must play game. While the gameplay gets a bit unpleasant at times (looking at the infamous platform room), it's still mostly really fun, and the artistic value of the game makes the gameplay take second seat anyways. This is one of the most thought-provoking experiences in fangames, and anyone with artistic inclinations should do themselves a favor and play it.
