AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Can't wait for this game to come out, and yes there will either be a sig change or avatar change, might even use an official avatar from their site.
Ok, well people have told me to put some info here so here it is:
Catherine(the actual title to the game) is a game where you play as Vincent, a 32 year old male who has been with his girlfriend, Katherine, for about 5 years. Katherine is talking about marriage and Vincent seems not to want to go there at the beginning of the game. One night at The Stray Sheep, a local bar, Vincent meets a girl, Catherine, who is young, good looking, and wants Vincent to be with her. Many of the cut scenes play in full anime style, and the others play in an animation similar to anime.
While all this is happening there have been people dying in their sleep, all have been male. Vincent ends up having these nightmares, which turn out to be the reason why people are dying, because if you die in the nightmare you die in real life. The nightmares play as a puzzle where you have to try to reach the top of the level by moving boxes to climb up on. At the end of some levels Vincent is asked questions like "Can love exist without pain?" and you give your answer
The none nightmare part of the game, so far as I have seen, plays out as cut-scenes, where every once in a while you will be sending messages to people, and these messages affect how they react to you. The game has 8 total endings, and the Japanese version was one of the hardest puzzle games out there, they made 3 difficulties in all other releases so people could actually finish it. Easy will still be challenging, but Atlus said that most people should be able to finish it, normal is supposed to be the same difficulty as the original, and hard mode is going to be a challenge for even the best puzzle player. It is being advertised as the game for the sophisticated gamer, as well as an adult game, meaning it isn't meant to appeal to kids, also only rated for partial nudity and other normal things you would expect from an M rated game.
I hope I didn't miss anything big.

It's spelled Catherine!

I refuse to agnolage it, i will call it Katherine till I have reason not to. Even if the game case, and the game it self says it isn't I will still call it Katherine. This may change while I play the game though.

the woman with the glasses is named katherine, so in a way it can be fine as is

exactly(I hope most people coming into this thread realize it has a K for a reason, not a C.)

Seriously?

yup, also it's late, I'm tired, and i don't care too much.

I don't understand the big fuss over this game.

Ignore this shit

I meant "seriously" as to the pathetic elitism in this thread and the COMPLETE LACK OF ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THE GAME WHATSOEVER

LOL U GUIS DUN NOW ITS SPELLT KATHERINE UR NOT TRU FNAS

That's just because she's your whore waifu.

Zorinth, I'd suggest just finding a quick summary of the game and editing it into your first post. Would be nice to have a decent thread about this game. It's piqued my interest, but I'm just going to have to hope my friends gets the game so I can play it on her PS3 at some point. I wonder if the game will tie into the Persona series?

From what I recall you read, and just stopped reading. So, logically, of course you wouldn't.

If you go on the main website, you'll notice this interesting cell phone feature where Catherine sends you texts and you text her back. It's rather entertaining and I had a bit of fun with it.

How the game is, you play as Vincent, a 32 year old man who's been dating this girl, Katherine for 5 years now. She wants to get married, but Vincent just isn't sure. The lovely Catherine appears shortly after and entices Vincent in. It is up to you to decide between Katherine and Catherine. Throughout the game, you are asked rather open questions such as, 'Can love exist without pain?' to which you only receive two options between. You are also texted throughout the game by various people, the way you answer these texts will determine whether you align more with Catherine or Katherine. As Spoony said, the game plays like Qbert more than anything else. During the nightmares Vincent begins having, you must climb up the tower as something follows you below. (In the first mission Vincent believes it is Katherine following him up.) You pull and push blocks to make your way to the top and there are clearings where you can speak to other people who are going through the same thing you are. Plus, there's a mini game that plays a lot like the main game, it's just a little silly and fun to play.

But yes, this game is very difficult, people complained about it so much they made an easy mode, so I'm excited for how difficult the hard mode will be.

And the narrator has a giant red afro

Oh yeah, and the soundtrack's already on Youtube, and I quite like the music, myself.

well, I added the explanation to the front, but dragoon's explanation is good also, since we have very similar explanations. sorry I didn't have it there to begin with.

all i've heard is that the events of the game take place during persona 3, it would be nice if some of the characters made cameos
