Catherine

In the latest issue of Famitsu, Atlus has announced a brand new title for the PS3 and Xbox 360 called Catherine. The game is an adult/horror action adventure title. Key staff from the Persona series are working on this project including Katsura Hashino as the producer, Shigenori Soejima as the character designer, and Shouji Meguro will serve as the composer.

The game follows 32-year-old Vincent, who has no ambition either in work or love. The other character, Catherine, is a stylish 22-year-old with the charms of a young girl. One day, VIncent runs into Catherine and then he ends up having nightmares. The nightmares will serve as the action/progress component throughout the game featuring an unending stairway. Vincent will have to make it to the top of the stairs in his nightmares or he won’t awaken.

Producer Katsura Hashino spoke in a staff interview saying since this was the team’s first HD title they were excited to try something new instead of an RPG. He says this game will be more adult oriented than the team’s past titles, and that there will be plenty of gameplay as well as some shockingly adult scenes. Composer Shouji Meguro pointed out that the game’s music can be summarized in three key words: “classic,” “adult oriented” and “erotic.”

    I enjoy when the shin megami series puts twists on real life events or situations like in this game. Makes it more enjoyable.

    I heard of this from Persona 3 Portable, the Vincent cameo in Club Escapade. You know what’s funny? I looked at the home page and it said Catherine not coming to north america, then the one on top of that was Catherine coming to north america lol

    It’s pretty neat sounding but the sheep are pretty random….Well, when you don’t think about it that much. I got confused seeing it is coming to North America and then i scrolled down and saw it wasn’t…..Now I’m confused. I hope it does come though!

    It will. It sounds cool, but it’s even more sex-oriented than Persona series…but either way, I WANT ANYTHING by the makers of Persona…just wish they’d do P5…
