Get excited, get very, very excited for the mature, psychological and downright gorgeous looking game Catherine from Atlus U.S.A.
Catherine looks amazing but it’s the story this Atlus U.S.A. title brings to both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 that should get gamers jazzed. The screenshots and teaser video show off a game that sports a mature romance thriller story wrapped in great looking HD animations. The few game sequences seen don’t disappoint but it’s the story that is exciting to see. The tale of Vincent and his love triangle with Katherine and Catherine is mature, seductive and quite thrilling in its look and content. A truly mature title that’s not over the top for the fun of it but rather to make this a truly unique experience. The game looks naughty and should make gamers blush a bit in content, but this is all based on the game description, image and video. Keep an eye on this one, it should be quite interesting.
Check out the images and video and here is more from Atlus on Catherine …
“About Catherine: Vincent likes his girlfriend. Katherine's pretty, smart, and successful.

Little does he know that he's about to be blindsided by a beautiful, seductive, irresistible freight train named Catherine. Suddenly, he's hung over in bed next to the most beautiful woman he's ever seen, unsure about the previous night's events. Was it just making out, he wonders, or did something more serious happen between them? Should he tell Katherine? Will he ever see Catherine again? Vincent's about to find that a stumble on the staircase of love can turn into a horrific, fatal plummet...”

- The Horrors of Love - Vincent's waking fears, doubts, pressures, and growing guilt about commitment and fidelity now gleefully follow him into his dreams, manifesting as horribly disfigured monsters and a ticking clock.
- Between a Rock and a Soft Place - The player must navigate Vincent through heavy moral decisions. As in real life, hardly anything is black and white. What is the value of honesty? What is the right thing to do? Either way, someone's going to get hurt. Worse yet, someone could die.
