Catherine Gets Seductively Horrifying New Trailer

This new trailer for the Persona team's new adult horror title Catherine is seriously freaky in more ways than one.

Last month, I described the first trailer for Atlus' upcoming Catherine as "Tokyo Game Show 2010 [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/102895-Catherine-Trailer-One-Part-Sexy-Two-Parts-Disturbing], follows suit - though dials up both the sensual and the terrifying.

This trailer introduces us to Katherine - that is, with a K - a quiet-seeming young woman with glasses and long brown hair, who seems very close with protagonist Vincent. In fact, she was the one who was last seen yelling "I'll never forgive you" at the man at the end of the first trailer! The melancholy-seeming Katherine (with a K) is put in direct contrast with the sensual and coquettish Catherine (with a C), who is shown straddling Vincent while presumably naked, and I think we all know what's happening there.

Incidentally, the game's logo depicts both a girl with curly short hair and a girl with long hair and glasses. I wonder if this will be significant in some way? Nah, couldn't be.

While we still don't get to see any of the actual gameplay, the trailer also shows off some of the game's monsters, and rest assured that they are as wonderfully messed-up and horrific as we have come to expect from the Persona crew.

According to Destructoid/Japanator [http://www.destructoid.com/tgs-it-s-the-new-catherine-trailer-and-oh-shi-monsters-183994.phtml], the Japanese-language dialogue and text translate thusly:

[blockquote]Katherine:

"Hey, are you listening?"

"Lately I've been thinking what if my parents called and said, 'What's going on?'"

"You're not hiding anything from me, right?"

TEXT:

"With the meeting of a mysterious, beautiful woman, the nightmare begins."

"Is it real love?"

"Life's choices?"

"Return alive? Die?"

Vincent:

"WTF?"

*gets an email*

"But, this pose..." [/blockquote]

Catherine is reportedly not on the TGS '10 show floor beyond a few banners, but is scheduled to be out in Japan by the end of the year, or approximately one week after people first start roleplaying characters from the game on LiveJournal - whichever comes first.

Hmmm.
The new trailer was really interesting.
Looks like poor Vincent is gonna have some tough choices to make during the game.

Overall the game looks interesting to me, but its not something id play.
Still i LOVED the music during the new trailer.

Well, it certainly looks like an Atlus game. Same artstyle as Persona 3 and 4.

But... too creepy for me.

I've always like Atlus stuff, but I somehow missed out on the whole persona frenzy. I'll be checking this out on release for sure.

Ah yes, and yet another game without a PC version. For fuck's sake.
It's an Atlus JRPG. We're lucky it's coming to the 360.

That wasn't scary at all or seductive either. What is this game about exactly because I haven't heard of anything about it till about two minutes ago.

I'm not trying to troll, just saying it wasn't scary.

Is that confirmed? You know, turn-based battles and everything?

The moment I saw the first trailer it looked like the perfect opportunity for the Persona team to try something new, considering this game has a larger emphasis on psychological horror than the Personas. (At least it looks like it does.)

This game does seem to focus squarely on the sexual weirdness.

..........

AWESOME!
