Atlus has announced its titular game Catherine will see a localization for North America and will release July 26, 2011 for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. The game was recently released in Japan and features sexually provocative themes. In short, its a game geared for mature audiences. Gameplay is puzzle based with adventure elements and a psychological thriller storyline. An English trailer released today is available for viewing below.
“Catherine is an unprecedented exploration of the pleasures and horrors of love,” said Atlus PR Manager Aram Jabbari. 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.”
