One day, a Prince happens to find the tower and sees how the witch can climb her hair. As years go by, Rapunzel develops an amazing singing voice (learning from birds), and a voluminous amount of blonde hair that the witch forced her to grow as a means of accessing the tower. As punishment for this, the witch takes their first-born and names her Rapunzel, after one of the flowers they stole.Īt the age of 12, the witch locks Rapunzel up in a tall door-less tower and refuses to let her see anyone else. A witch owns a garden, which Rapunzel's parents steal from. The main story follows the fairy tale fairly closely. The story of Rapunzel is told through cutscenes: one displays after every fourth stage, told exclusively in rhyme ( transcript available here). To actually see the True Ending, the player needs to collect another four Rosaries in the same levels as above in "Extra Mode." In this mode, they must first also pick up the Genie Lamp to uncover the Rosaries. There are items scattered around in the levels of Rapunzel which will boost the player's score as follows: The final score in Rapunzel is made up of three things: items obtained, moves remaining (Power Bonus), and current stage (Grade Bonus). When inputted correctly, the screen's color and HUD will change to purple and a chime can then be heard. This is indicated by the Rapunzel logo showing a heart in the upper right corner. The player can switch between Regular and Extra Stages by inputting a code at the Rapunzel title screen, which can be done after beating the first 64 levels: Up, Down, Down, Up, Up, Up, Down, Down, Down, Down, Right. The player's progress in Rapunzel is also saved independently from the game's save files. Once the player finishes Golden Playhouse for the first time, "Free Play" will be unlocked on all save files where the player has unlimited attempts. There are 128 levels in total (64 levels in each mode), and the player is given given three credits per night a credit is used when the player fails to complete the stage (either by dying or by giving up). The player can also toggle the puzzle gameplay of Rapunzel in Config between Classic and Remix, the former featuring the exact same puzzles as those in the original Catherine and the latter option features new puzzles involving Combination Blocks. In Full Body, the player can now choose to watch hints in the Pause menu, in which the game automatically plays itself up to a certain point to give the player a hint in completing the current stage. These include White Blocks, Immovable Blocks, Cracked Blocks, Ice Blocks and Black Hole Blocks, the last of which are only featured in Extra Mode. Only a few block types in the main game are featured in Rapunzel.If the player causes the Goal Block to fall, they will fail the stage.If the player attempts to move a block while they have no moves remaining, they will fail the stage. The player is given a limit in the number of block moves they can make (which varies between each stage), making it more strategy-based than the Nightmare levels.There is no time limit to complete the stages.While the gameplay in Rapunzel is generally similar to that of Catherine itself, Rapunzel differs with the following gameplay rules: The player assumes the role of a prince who must arrange blocks to reach the goal block to complete the stage. Toby, the only one who didn't have nightmares, couldn't see what was so interesting about it. Most of the chosen men ( Orlando, Jonny, Justin, Todd) had a fixation for playing the game. In the Freedom Endings, Mutton describes the game as a machine to make it easier for men to become trapped in his nightmares. Although, it is also likely that Mutton used the game in order to train the victims of the nightmare so that he could find a worthy man someday - someone who could overcome The Great Trials. However, Thomas Mutton obtained the code and turned it into the current version, inserting subliminal messages into it in order to trance the players. It is revealed that the original game was created by Freddie McGoohan, in order for men to play the game and create favorable relationships with women so they would get their happy ending, and free them from the nightmares. The backstory of the game is revealed in Catherine: The Mysterious Tale of Rapunzel.
