The Catcher in the Rye: The Video Game

The Catcher in the Rye, a story written by J. D. Salinger, and published in 1951, is about a boy named Holden Caulfield and his 'journey'.

In this game, you play as a young Holden Caulfield, who seeks redemption by saving children in the fields. The gameplay mainly consists of using the ARROW KEYS to move Holden as he dashes left to right in an attempt to save as many children as possible. Whenever you fail to save a poor, innocent soul, your own life will be broken bit by bit. You have three life points to spare, but note that this game is accurate to real life: you can't save everyone.

What you CAN do is keep moving forward. You can also catch falling records in order to increase your character's motivation and health, making it so you can save those children!

If you want the gameplay experience to be even more immersive, we've created a playlist with songs that'll 'enhance the experince' of gameplay.
