Catherine Poster: Naughty and Creepy... Leaning More Toward The Latter


Poor Vincent... He's got a LOT on his mind, I'd say. Between the haunting blond girl and the weird dreams he's having (or are they dreams at all?), things aren't as they should be for an otherwise normal guy not looking for love. Gorgeous poster art from Atlus' (currently) Japan-only PS3/Xbox 360 adventure/puzzle/horror hybrid. Hope this one comes out here, as the industry NEEDS more quirky originality like this one from the team behind the popular Shin Megami Tensei series. A small taste of gameplay footage is below the jump - bet it's not what you're expecting...

Catherine's Midnight Venus Trailer Shows 'Atlus Does HD' Pretty Damn Well...


Thanks to DualShockers TV for this video (I'm not lazy, I'm just too BUSY)

Lock up the kiddies and pray this one comes out stateside INTACT with all its naughty bits hanging out for the world to see. Normally, I'd say this would be highly unlikely in the crazy climate we live in where games are demonized up and down the pike for all sorts of evils. Then again, Kenji Eno's twisted as hell D2 was unleashed on Dreamcast owners and more recently, Deadly Premonition pushed a few envelopes in different directions of weirdness. YES, kids... it'll get an M rating for sure if it DOES come out here, but hell, it's TIME we see a game that intentionally gets under our skins for a few different reasons. Naturally, other than the creepy guys who buy yellow label Saturn games and happen to have unsavory hentai fixations and huge anime porn collections, Catherine will also be a game that draws in the curious Atlus fan (of age, of course) as well as those genre-deprived types who want to see an adult game (made, yes, by adults FOR adults) such as this change the landscape somewhat.

HOPEFULLY, the true creeps out there won't get their nuts in knots and go overboard whining in public that it's NOT a pure pornographic game at all (while they gently caress their copies of Ar tonelico 3 and Hyperdimension Neptunia with sweaty fingers, ewww...). Meanwhile, I'd love to see the game get respectable reviews from folks that GET it, not griefers "expecting" something the dev team wasn't even thinking of.

Anyway, Atlus - make us all happy and localize this one as best as can be.
