You’ve probably seen dozens of video game trailers in your lifetime, but the first official trailer for the English version of Catherine is sure to stand out from the crowd.

Last month I mentioned Atlus was asking fans to submit YouTube video responses to a few personal questions on relationships. Its intention was to use this fan feedback in an upcoming trailer for the game.

You can watch the product of this unique approach below, and towards the end of the trailer you’ll be treated to some scenes from the game with the English voice overs in full flow:

Catherine - “Are You Committed?” Trailer

In case you’ve got no clue what Catherine is all about, here is the official story synopsis:

“Vincent likes his girlfriend. Katherine’s pretty, smart, and successful. Trouble is, she’s starting to talk about long-term commitment, something Vincent’s spent his entire life avoiding. Since romantic complications are the last thing he wants to deal with, Vincent meets his friends for their regular night of drinks.

“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…”

We’ll keep on bringing you all the latest news on Catherine as we approach the game’s release on Xbox 360 and PS3 in North America on 26 July.
