Hasn't this already been released in Japan? Shouldn't we know pretty much everything about it now?
We do! In fact you can watch playthroughs of the Japanese release online. The game has multiple endings and yadda yadda-

"Seriously, guys! Our game has depth! We're totally not using sex appeal as a cheap way to gain attention!"
I have yet to hear anything that makes this game seem at all not terrible.
Though I will say that the depth of this game changes on how the player plays it. There is a morality meter, but it's more of an attitude meter as it changes how Vincent interacts with his female leads, which he then chooses from by interacting with them in person, over phone calls and with texting. Each character has actual relatability and though they all act odd to some degree and have their quirks you come to care about them till the end. Either that or you come to really, REALLY fear them (for different reasons).
Contrary to how the game is being marketed, the story is actually about love and lust battling it out. Stay with the woman you've been with for years, or go for the new girl who seems to spice up your life? Why are you afraid of marriage? Do you think about the here-and-now, or does your gaze look to the future too?
Splice in supernatural mystery about a man being victimized by his dreams and you've got
Catherine.
If you still feel apprehensive, look it up! Like I said, there's a few LP's floating around. If nothing else you'll at least know what the game is truly about aside from all this marketing mumbo jumbo. I mean, LA Noire was marketed for the longest time as a game focusing on the Black Daliah murder and the murders tieing into it, but then that arc fuzzled out and you're left playign a game now almost totally unrelated by the end. Marketing is marketing, plain and simple.
