Atlus Persona Team is at it again with the new survival horror game name Catherine, released in Japan on February 17, and coming to North America for the Summer of 2011. There is a goodchance we will see more of this intriguing game at E3.
When I was watching the trailer (stop what you’re doing and go watch it now), it’s clear that this game is not going to be kid friendly at all. Here’s the plot outline from the press release:
In the neighborhood Vincent lives in, there have recently been a number of bizarre incidents in which people die in their sleep, with a look of anguish upon their faces. Strangely enough, all of the victims are young men. The story quickly spreads throughout the media, attracting widespread attention and theories as to the cause of death. A strange rumor begins to spread that if a person dreams of falling, if they don’t wake up they will soon become unable to wake at all, and die.
Vincent is at a bar contemplating marriage to Katherine, his lover of five years, who is pressuring him to get married, when he meets a beautiful and mysterious woman named Catherine. Although there are many vacant seats she sits next to Vincent and, well-proportioned and pretty, she is exactly his type. The two end up spending the night together at Vincent’s house.
After meeting the woman, Vincent begins to have nightmares every single night, which he believes may be related to the rumors. In these dreams, he, and several other men who appear to him as sheep, must escape from various horrors trying to kill him, for if he dies in his dream, he will die for real.
Catherine sounds like a very interesting game and I can’t wait to give this game a go when it comes out later this year. Catherine will be available for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
