Yesterday, SEGA teased a PC version of Catherine on the official Bayonetta Steam forum. And from the looks of it, this puzzle game will be indeed coming to the PC as it has already been rated by the ESRB.
Here is the game’s description according to the ESRB.
“This is a puzzle adventure game in which players assume the role of Vincent, a man with relationship issues that are manifested in his dreams. The game transitions between animated cutscenes and puzzle stages (i.e., nightmares); in the nightmare world, players must help Vincent ascend crumbling towers by pushing, pulling, and climbing blocks to reach an exit. If players make the wrong move, they can be killed by spike traps and giant boss creatures (e.g., a demon bride, a chainsaw-wielding baby); death scenes are accompanied by exaggerated splashes of blood as Vincent is stabbed, crushed, shot, or bitten. During one cutscene, a character is stabbed in the stomach with a knife; a large pool of blood quickly forms under her body. In order to move faster in the puzzles stages, players can order Vincent alcoholic beverages (e.g., mixed cocktails, beer, sake, whiskey); after three drinks, he begins to stumble around when moving. These sequences are accompanied by voice-over narration: “It’s said that chugging alcohol isn’t good for you, but sometimes it’s necessary” and “[T]ake a big swig of cognac!” Throughout the game, sex and sexuality are frequently referenced, sometimes while two characters are in bed together (e.g., “I finally became a man! Got rid of my V-card, BOOM,” “If the one you loved confessed to a sexual habit that you found absolutely unacceptable, what would you do?” and “After all you’ve done to my body . . . Night after night . . .”). One bedroom sequence pans across a man’s legs, then to his curling toes; another scene briefly depicts a woman caressing her body while making suggestive comments (e.g., “I’ve got such a hunger for these feelings . . . I know you have some hungers as well, don’t you?” ). The game also depicts the central character surrounded by topless female demons—though shadow effects obscure most details. The words “f**k” and “sh*t” can be heard in the dialogue.”
The game has been rated M for mature as it contains blood, partial nudity, sexual themes, strong language, use of alcohol and violence.
Catherine was originally released on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2011. From the looks of it, though, we’ll be getting the original version and not the Full Body remake that will come out on PS4 and PSVita later this year.
It’s worth noting that at this point Catherine is fully playable on the PC via the RPCS3 emulator.

I played it on the PS3 and it was alright. Might get it again if its under $14.99.
that’s nice i guess but why not just put the new version on pc instead?
Why not both? these newer releases come with little improvements and extra large hd space
noice
Native pc version is better even though this is playable in emulator…
more games for anime f4gs and autists who jack off to these cartoons. good for you.

The man who killed half of the population of the entire universe!
He sure doesn’t look like Karl Marx or Friedrich Engels. /s

for anyone who’s wondering why this guy keeps posting gifs, it’s because he has mental illness, it’s not that i’m insulting him, he’s really mentally unstable. he told me himself that when he wants to order food, he walks to his local mcdonald or whatever shethole he eats from and since they know him they made a special list of foods with pictures for him to point at because he doesn’t have mental capacity of memorizing foods name. this constant gif posting is how he communicates, this should tell you a lot about people who watch anime in general. beside autism, they all have some sort of mental illness.
well buddy, i hope you get better soon.

troll alert, you guys just stop replying to this guys
read this with voice of a 12 years old who has down syndrome: “toll aert, stap replaing to dees guiz, he insult my mastubation mateial, he toll cuz he mad dat he kant jak off to anime laik me”
He might also be a furry.
furry weirdos, ponies, anime f4gs and pedophiles go hand in hand
yeah i own the game on the PS3 didnt finish it though great game and i would buy it again if it was 20-30 bucks
Fully expecting a £45-55 price tag, and barebones port job.
The Windows PC rating for Catherine has been there even before the original console release. That just means that during rating the platforms werent final. This is not news.
why would anyone play a game like this? not asking why would install an emulator to play it because thats the autist definition.
The more significant thing is that its an ATLUS developed game coming to PC. Personally don’t really care about these kind of weirdo games but hopefully other ATLUS games come to PC for those PC Gamers who do enjoy these kinds of games.
Yeah Atlus has been pro PlayStation and Nintendo for awhile now. Hopefully this means their new in-development medieval rpg will come to PC. I mean it might be timed exclusive to PS4 for awhile but its a start.
such as?
It’s the second Atlus JPN game coming to PC.
disqus_aDGjxqtYex already
Watch as Atlus ports the original version over Full Body just for sh*ts and giggles.
TBH. That wouldn’t be that strange. I could imagine that being the case being Full Body’s new content hasn’t been translated yet and it doesn’t IIRC have a western release date yet. They could always have a small update fee.
I mean, keep in mind you can actually buy the base version of Sonic Adventure 2 (without the Battle enhancements) despite SA2:B being years old. I can imagine Sega making Full Body a $5 DLC.
If Sega’s involved, yeah, I can see that happen (hopefully Atlus won’t make a tantrum about it).
The game has been rated M for mature as it contains blood, partial
nudity, sexual themes, strong language, use of alcohol and violence.
I wonder what goes in the minds of the people at Atlus: “hmmm, I wonder what should we do to enter the PC market. I know, let’s ignore our biggest IP with a genre proven to be popular on PC, and let’s port an old version of this 8 year old weird puzzle game instead”.
I don’t care for either game, but these decisions amuse me sometimes. Still, this being the first game developed by Atlus to hit PC is huge, hope it won’t bomb and becomes the last one.
what game you talking about?
Persona 5, or any Persona game really. They could start with older ones. They would sell as well.
dam i played through persona 3 about 4-5 times and persona 4 about 2 time and i would still buy them again on PC
It’s more than some weird puzzle game. The story is fantastic and the gameplay/puzzles tie perfectly into the story.
It’s not the first
SMT was the first
I think they are only doing this to make extra money. I’ve noticed plenty of devs out there choosing to ignore PC, only to decide later on that they still want PC gaming money, yet don’t want to show or fully commit to the platform. Atlas is one of those studios.
I could have sworn this game was one of the original games on PC’s DX12 gaming lineup XD. And now it’s finally on it’s way to PC? Well Since it’s Steam I guess that means DX11 only
Edit… I was thinking of Caffeine…
Hopefully Persona 5 next…
I hope so it is
it’s a “meh” game, but i hope the sales are good so Atlus keep releasing more games for PC-
If only the gameplay didn’t look like utter bollocks
Port more yakuza games Sega
Like you? Yep!
