Catherine Arrives in Europe in February with Reversible Cover

Deep Silver has confirmed that the quirky Catherine adventure puzzle game will be making its way onto European shores next February, for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 platforms.

Catherine impressed through its offbeat gameplay, which focused on Vincent, a 32-year-old guy who needs to decide on whether he’ll continue his relationship with Katherine, his longtime yet bossy girlfriend, or pursue the young and naughty Catherine, with whom he had just spent a night with.

The title delivered a pretty intriguing experience, as between segments where Vincent needed to interact with the two girls, alongside his friends, he also experienced nightmares where the actual puzzle gameplay started.

Now, after the game appeared earlier this year in Japan and North America, Deep Silver has confirmed that it’s also coming to Europe next February, for the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360, complete with a reversible cover that lets players choose between Katherine or Catherine.

“Deep Silver announced that the complete first edition of the action-adventure/puzzle mix Catherine will feature a special flip cover sporting one of the two female love interests in the game on each side,” the company said.

In case you forgot, here are some of the key features of the game, straight from Deep Silver.

- 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.
- The Nightmare of Your Dreams - Under the watch of producer Katsura Hashino, acclaimed director of Persona 3 and Persona 4, famed character artist Shigenori Soejima and master composer Shoji Meguro create sights and sounds unlike anything else. As unforgettable and original as the game's narrative, Catherine's visual direction and musical score define and perfectly complement Vincent's terrifying ascent into the dizzying perils of love.
- Escape With or From a Friend - Local competitive and cooperative multiplayer modes, in addition to leaderboards, ensure that the many thrills and horrors of racing through twisted stages can be enjoyed by more than one player and add hours of extra gameplay to the overall experience.

The game will be out at the beginning of next year and will feature translated text in French, Italian, German, and Spanish.
