To say that the Student Transfer fanbase is diverse is by no means an exaggeration, starting from the whole topics and themes the main game provides, there are also some special TF subgenres that have made it into scenarios, this time, we have Inanimate TF.

The premise is simple: Sayaka gets the remote and when Katrina decides to provoke her she falls into her hands and a special remote function.

Now, some people might get taken back by the apparent sexual promise of the story, but the truth is that Katrina the Statue takes into consideration, not just the petrification on itself but also the feelings of submission attached to it and its appeal; being property and having an ower, being an object that exists only to make somebody happy, the being fragile and totally dependant of someone, and even the unconditional love towards somebody that might not even like you, totally and pure unconditional love that doesn't even care about you as an individual, even beyond the loss of your humanity.

Some things to mention are that the story is completely linear, it might disappoint some people but overall the scenario is interesting enough to keep you engaged all the way through. The story happens mostly in the same place so the backgrounds are mostly the same, leaving the appeal of the scenario to the narration, but again, by how the story is written and how interesting Katrina's thoughts are on the situation, that is no issue.

One thing I would consider a defect in the scenario is how Sayaka is portrayed, as a complete and almost one-note villain that does not take into account the feelings of anybody. Sayaka has been gaining the title of a sociopath in scenarios, and this one is not the exception, but for what the plot does give, the character of Sayaka works relatively well for the story.

Overall, even when what Katrina the Statue offers might work only for a niche audience, I found it to be a very passionate scenario and worth checking out regardless of what you like. If you want to see a bit of the sexual and even psychological appeal of Inanimate TF, this is a good option to check out.
