Catherine's core themes — those of free will, the delicate nature of relationships and the choices we make within them — marry perfectly with the intense, terror-filled gameplay that serves to accurately reflect Vincent's growing sense of anxiety. It is an experience wholly unlike any to come before it. Vincent likes his girlfriend. Katherine is pretty, smart, and successful. Trouble is, she's starting to talk about long-term commitment, which is something Vincent's spent his entire life avoiding.

With new complications the furthest thing from his mind, Vincent heads out for his regular night of drinks with his friends. Little does he know that he's about to be blindsided by a beautiful, seductive, irresistible freight train named Catherine.

Suddenly, he's hung over in bed next to the most beautiful woman he's ever seen, unsure about the previous night's events. Was it just making out, he wonders, or did something more serious happen between them? Should he tell Katherine? Will he ever see Catherine again? Vincent's about to find that a stumble on the staircase of love can turn into a horrific, fatal plummet.

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.

This way consumers will get the opportunity to select their personal preference as to which of the women in his life the game’s main character, Vincent, should choose: Either Katherine, his long time partner who wants him to marry her, or the alluring and sexy Catherine, who he has just spent the night with.
