In boss areas, Catherine will walk backwards and forwards as she hits the sides of each wall, although upon taking damage she will be thrown backwards, fall to her knees and cry, momentarily stopping her movement. Catherine starts with six hearts.
At the bottom of the HUD is a small sprite on a line showcasing how long players have until Catherine safely reaches the end goal.
