Shoji Meguro—the game’s sound composer—described the music as being “classic”, “adult abs” and “erotic fantasy.” The cinematic portion of the game is handled by Studio 4°C.

Features

  • The game will shift between action, during nightmares, and adventure scenes, during the daytime. Most of the adventure phase involves talking to acquaintances at the bar.
  • During the action phases, Vincent is chased up giant staircases. If he falls from one he dies, resulting in a "game over."
  • The action mechanics in the game are apparently very deep, as the player will have to make choices in order to pass "stages".
  • The game's producer, Katsura Hashino, explained that there are various ways to do this. There are three stages: Nightmare, Drama, and Stray Sheep.
  • The "Drama" sequence occurs during waking hours, during which Vincent will choose between the two girls.
  • Hashino also said that "Vincent's character can change in many ways depending on the player’s choices throughout the game," and added "his character development can get pretty unusual."
  • The adventure segments in Catherine will consist of running around town and visiting various places.
  • It was stated by Famitsu that Vincent will not be alone in his nightmares and that he'll be encountering a large number of sheep. In a dream sequence the sheep, as well as Vincent, are being chased by a giant pair of hands, one of them holding a blood-covered fork.
  • Hashino has stated that there are multiple endings, and the first play-through of the game should last twenty hours, but in order to obtain all endings, it’ll take "up to thirty hours" to complete.
