Catherine: the game in simple terms

This game is an action-adventure with platform, puzzle and RPGs elements. It takes place in a horror/erotic background in which you can find nightmares, love, death and a stunning blonde. The protagonist is a 32-years-old engineer (Vincent Brooks), engaged to a certain Katherine McBride.

His life is quite monotonous, and his girlfriend begins to speak about marriage. In opposition to this kind of life, a beautiful young woman named Catherine irrupt in his existence and seduces him. The morning after meeting her for the first time, he discovers that he spent the night with her, betraying his girlfriend. At the same time, Vincent begins to suffer from terrible nightmares, and I will not tell you anything else so as not to ruin the plot.
