FINAL CATHERINE TRAILER IS ALL ABOUT GAMEPLAY; ONE WEEK LEFT UNTIL LAUNCH

ATLUS has released the final trailer for Catherine, the upcoming action-adventure/puzzle game for PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system (PS3™) and Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. With a focus on the frantic, twisted block towers faced by Vincent, the game's protagonist, the new "Climb or Die!" trailer is one of the most exciting previews of Catherine to date.

"One of our biggest priorities in promoting Catherine is ensuring that gamers understand how story-driven the game is, how vital the characters and their arcs are to the overall experience," said Aram Jabbari, Manager of PR and Sales at ATLUS. "With this, the final trailer for the game, we want to tie everything together and bring the focus to the heart of Catherine's gameplay: tower nightmares, action-puzzle stages that force players to think fast and move faster while remaining perfectly interwoven with the story. These sequences are laden with symbolism and themes that emphasize and amplify the story's psychological horror, creating for the player the same feelings of tension and panic felt by the game's protagonist. After completing the story mode, gamers can play with a friend, cooperatively or competitively, in supplementary modes that ramp up the intensity and further deliver on the addictiveness and ingenuity of the tower nightmares."

Also available for curious fans is the Catherine demo, available now via Xbox®LIVE and PlayStation®Network. With an equal sampling of story, gameplay, and exceptional visual appeal, the Catherine demo promises to give gamers answers to their lingering questions and plenty of reasons to purchase a the full game upon its release next week.

Catherine is currently scheduled to release on July 26, 2011 for PlayStation 3 system and Xbox 360 system with an MSRP of $59.99 for the standard edition and $79.99 for the limited-run "Love Is Over" Deluxe Edition (available at participating retailers, while supplies last).
