Catherine to get 'Stray Sheep' edition in Europe
After waiting months to get their hands on Atlus's bizarre Catherine, it looks like Europeans will get a little something extra for their trouble. Publisher Deep Silver will release a special "Stray Sheep Edition" of the game for its European launch next year. Like North America's "Love Is Over" edition, the Stray Sheep edition comes packaged in a pizza box, though the rest of the contents differ significantly (no boxers, for one).
Inside the box, the set includes coasters from the in-game bar, Stray Sheep, an exclusive and "seductive" Catherine poster and a T-shirt designed after that of protagonist Vincent. The Stray Sheep edition will be available for £54.99 when Catherine launches in Europe this coming February.

The "Stray Sheep Edition" is named after the Stray Sheep Bar where Vincent, the game's protagonist, spends most of his time after work and interacts with his lifelong friends,seeking advice for how to solve the dilemma he's currently embroiled in. Should he continue the affair he's having with the seductress Catherine, or abandon the sexy newcomer to deepen his relationship with his girlfriend Katherine?

· An exclusive T-Shirt that is a replica of the Rave-T-Shirt that Vincent wears in the game
· Two Stray Sheep bar-themed coasters
· A seductive Catherine poster that is exclusively available in this deluxe edition
· A pizza delivery box from the Stray Sheep Bar that serves as the packaging for all the extra items found in the European deluxe edition
"We wanted to offer Europe's Catherine fans something special and unique, something that was not available before," says Peter Brolly, brand manager at Deep Silver. "And with a very competitive price point for the Deluxe edition, we ensure that it's an extremely attractive proposition - just like Catherine herself."
The Stray Sheep Edition of Catherine will have a price of £54.99, the standard edition will be available for £44,99.
Catherine will be released in February 2012 in PAL territories for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, and the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. Catherine will feature localized text in French, Italian, German and Spanish.
About Catherine:
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...
Key Features
· The Horrors of Love - Vincent's waking fears, doubts, pressures, and growing guilt about commitment and fidelity now gleefully follow him into his dreams, manifesting as horribly disfigured monsters and a ticking clock.
· Between a Rock and a Soft Place - The player must navigate Vincent through heavy moral decisions. As in real life, hardly anything is black and white. What is the value of honesty? What is the right thing to do? Either way, someone's going to get hurt. Worse yet, someone could die.
· The Nightmare of Your Dreams - Under the watch of producer Katsura Hashino, acclaimed director of Persona 3 and Persona 4, famed character artist Shigenori Soejima and master composer Shoji Meguro create sights and sounds unlike anything else. As unforgettable and original as the game's narrative, Catherine's visual direction and musical score define and perfectly complement Vincent's terrifying ascent into the dizzying perils of love.
· Escape With or From a Friend - Local competitive and cooperative multiplayer modes, in addition to leaderboards, ensure that the many thrills and horrors of racing through twisted stages can be enjoyed by more than one player and add hours of extra gameplay to the overall experience.
