According to an article by Jonathan Leack over on the playstationlifestyle.net website, there are a total of 48 trophies to unlock in the Catherine game, including 40 bronze, 6 silver, 1 gold and 1 platinum trophy. As with all other games, the platinum trophy (titled Cheers To You!) is only achieved once a player has collected all of the other available trophies.

3-Star Man is just one of the bronze trophies available in the Catherine game. To unlock this trophy, players must unlock Menhir by achieving Gold Prizes in 3 of the puzzle stages in Story Mode. However, gamers have to be playing in normal or hard difficulty. To achieve the Gold Prize, you have to quickly climb and keep the multiplier going as long as you possibly can while avoiding being killed.

Once this has been achieved, players will unlock the Menhir stage in Babel mode. Another bronze trophy is Let My Sheep Go, which can be achieved by completing the third stage in Story Mode. Players will earn the trophy once they defeat the stage’s boss, Immoral Beast. To unlock the Crossing the Courtyard trophy, players have to conquer the fifth stage of Story Mode.

As with Let My Sheep Go, the trophy will only be earned once players have defeated that specific stage’s boss, Doom’s Bride. Meanwhile, the Past a Heap of Puzzle trophy (bronze) requires players to beat stage 64 of Rapunzel, a great mini-game that is found at the bar. Rapunzel is similar to normal puzzle gameplay, but with a set amount of moves to complete each stage.

The Rapunzel mini-game features a total of 64 increasingly difficult stages to overcome. To unlock the I Can Fly! silver trophy, players are required to jump on a Spring Block three times in a row. Spring blocks are quite difficult to find, but they can be found by searching for a block that has a small trampoline inside it. If you manage to step on it 3 times in a row you will unlock the trophy.

To achieve the Dreams Come True Gold trophy, you have to view all of the game’s endings. The Catherine game features a total of eight different endings, with each ending having their own trophy. The endings include bad lover, true lover, normal lover, bad cheater, normal cheater, true cheater, normal freedom and true freedom.
