Despite denials and evasions over the release of Catherine on this side of the Pacific, Atlus U.S.A. has confirmed that it will release in North America in Summer 2011. The story of the game deals with a man named Vincent, his reluctance to marry his long term girlfriend Katherine and his chance encounter with the seductive Catherine.
“Catherine is an unprecedented exploration of the pleasures and horrors of love,” commented Aram Jabbari, Manager of PR and Sales at Atlus. “As Vincent, a man recently succumbed to the irresistible beauty of the game’s titular diversion, players find themselves swept into a treacherous love triangle. Catherine‘s core themes-those of free will, of the delicate nature of relationships and the choices we make within them, marry perfectly with the intense, terror-filled gameplay that serves to accurately reflect Vincent’s growing sense of anxiety. It is an experience wholly unlike any to come before it, and is certain to leave gamers talking and thinking about Vincent’s tribulations long after the credits have rolled.”
