Atlus Goes Out With Catherine The Persona guys make an action adventure.

hmm... this's rather ero

Vincent, a listless 32-year-old with a marked lack of motivation in both his work and his personal life, has just hooked up with Catherine. Not the one above, but with a far more charming one -- a 22-year-old with blonde hair and the sort of looks that a lot of men would kill for. It's not a bad catch for someone like Vincent, but he hasn't been able to bask in it that much, thanks to the nightmares he's been having ever since he met her. Every night, it's the same thing: Vincent's climbing up an endless stairway, running into talking sheep and giant hands, and if he stops, he knows he's going to die. In real life. Like a lot of other young men have been doing lately. So goes the basic plot to Catherine, an action adventure game announced by Atlus over in Japan this week. The first game Atlus has developed in-house for high-definition consoles, the title is being handled by most of the staff behind the company's Persona series -- producer/director Katsura Hashino, character designer Shigenori Soejima, and sound composer Shoji Meguro.
"Before we storm the hi-def consoles with one of our RPGs, we wanted to try making something new," Hashino told Famitsu magazine this week. "These are the results, and it's pretty weird...or, I should say, pretty neat! What's unusual about it is how geared toward adults it is... It may wind up being a love-or-hate kind of game, but to those who find it fascinating, I hope we can provide them with a novel and interesting experience."
Atlus isn't saying much about what exactly Catherine's gameplay is like, although both the cutscenes and the 3D-based action scenes will use a muted anime style. The game itself is due out this winter for the Xbox 360 and PS3 in Japan; Atlus USA hasn't announced an American release yet. Stay tuned for more. 

This's from persona 3 portable

 hmm... it seems that there may be a connection with persona 3 portable. I'm guessing that the timeline of Catherine coincides with persona 3, but what's the effect of Catherine? The protagonist of catherine seems pretty cool and mature. It's going to be interesting going through this new plot. As the silent P of P3 converse with the man, he's one step closer to a tragic ending, I guess we'll be determining that for him, though. Here's the list of all available conversations between our protagonist and the man there..
The bartender has a message about him: 

 What should I do...?
When I came in to prepare to open,
one of the regulars was already here.
He looks so depressed. I hope he's not
one of those mean drunks.

His actual dialogue:









1-1
 > A man in his thirties is drinking
by himself.




1-2
 Hm...? Lookin' for someone to chat with?
Alright, tell me... have you ever had
a dream where you're falling?

1-2 (choices)
 "Yes."
"No."
"I don't know."

1-3 (first choice)
 Really?
I wonder if it's true about the rumor
that if you don't wake up before you
hit bottom, you die.
......
Forget it, sorry. Shouldn't have
brought it up.

1-3 (second choice)
 Hmm. Well, to tell the truth...
I heard a rumor that if you don't wake
up before you hit bottom, you die...
......
Forget it, sorry. Shouldn't have
brought it up.

1-3 (third choice)
 Well, most dreams you forget once you
wake up. The thing is...
I heard a rumor that if you don't wake
up before you hit bottom, you die...
......
Forget it, sorry. Shouldn't have
brought it up.

1-4
 I've been having the weirdest dreams
lately... Geez, what's wrong with me...?

1-5
 Why don't you head on home instead of
wandering around a place like this?
Well, you're a kid... I always wanted
to see what this kind of place was like
when I was your age, too. Haha...

2-1
 > The man you've seen before is drinking
alone again...

2-2
 What's up?
Ah... Yeah, I remember you from before.

2-3
 You're... in high school, right?
I remember back then. Makes me a little
jealous of you.
So, are you seeing anyone?

2-3 (choices)
 "Yes."
"No."
"Hard to say."

2-4 (first choice)
 Heh, good for you. Things were so much
simpler at that age...
Once you get to be as old as me, love
loses some of its luster. Romance gets
harder to enjoy.
So enjoy it while you still can...
Haha, this isn't any of my business,
is it?

2-4 (second choice)
 Too bad. Well, I'm sure you'll find
someone. You're still young.
Things were so much simpler at
that age...
Once you get to be as old as me, love
loses some of its luster. Romance gets
harder to enjoy.
So enjoy it while you still can...
Haha, this isn't any of my business,
is it?

2-4 (third choice)
 Hah! Going through a rough patch, eh?
It's fine. You're still young enough
to be irresponsible now and then.
Things were so much simpler at
that age...

Haha, this isn't any of my business,
is it?

2-5
 ...But seriously, I envy you.
I'm an adult now. I can't be as carefree
as I used to.
I've got a girlfriend, and we're stuck
with each other, but I'm screwed if
things keep going the way they are.
*sigh* I'm not the marrying kind.
You give up so much of your freedom
once you become an adult... Heh.

2-6
 *sigh* I'm not the marrying kind.
You give up so much of your freedom
once you become an adult... Heh.

3-1
 > The man you've seen before is drinking
alone again...

3-2
 Hm...?
Hey, it's you. We seem to run into each
other a lot lately, huh?

3-3
 > He seems to be severely depressed
today...

3-4
 I haven't had a single good night's
sleep lately. I keep having this weird
dream...
*sigh* And I know exactly why...
It was just a spur-of-the-moment thing,
but...
I... Well, I cheated on my girl.
You remember, the one I said I was
stuck with? She... might be pregnant.
I'm starting to feel guilty about the
whole thing. Haha... stupid, isn't it?

3-5
 About that weird dream I've been having...
I'm pretty sure I know what's causing it.
It was just a spur-of-the-moment thing,
but...
I... Well, I cheated on my girl.
You remember, the one I said I was
stuck with? She... might be pregnant.
I'm starting to feel guilty about the
whole thing. Haha... stupid, isn't it?

3-6
 Hey...
Do you think it's an unforgiveable sin
to cheat on someone? Or is it just
human nature?

3-7 (choices)
 "I think it's a sin."
"I think it's natural."
"I don't know."

3-8 (first choice)
 That's what I thought... Haha.
Sorry for asking such a stupid question.

3-8 (second choice)
 So, what, are you trying to make me
feel better? Or... do you have some
idea of what I'm going through?
Maybe you think you do. The difference
between us, though, is how heavy the
consequences are...
Don't end up like me... Okay?

3-8 (second choice, female MC)
 Wow, not the answer I was expecting
from a girl.
But the consequences of a guy my age
cheating on his partner are more severe
than for a high schooler...

3-8 (third choice)
 I'm not surprised... Haha.
It's not something a guy my age should
be asking a high schooler anyway...

3-9
 When I was young... I thought my life
was just beginning.
But now I'm past thirty, and nothing
ever seemed to have got going for me.

3-10
 Every day is more of the same betrayal
and acting on my ridiculous desires...
......
I wonder if I'm gonna have that dream
again tonight...
Shit! I feel like I'm going insane...

4-1
 > The man you've seen before is drinking
alone again...

4-2
 Hm...? Oh, it's you... We meet again.
Looks like I've got no other choice
but to get married now.
...My girlfriend's pregnancy test was
positive.

4-3 (choices)
 "Congratulations."
"......"

4-4 (first choice)
 Hm? O-Oh, yeah.
That's what people would normally say,
huh...? Haha...
Anyway...

4-4 (second choice)
 Do I seem less than thrilled?
Well, it's too late now...
Anyway...

4-5
 > The man looks over at you.

4-6
 Hey, can I ask you something?
I told you about the bizarre dream I've
been having, right...?
Do you think... I keep having those
nightmares because I betrayed my
girlfriend...?

4-7 (choices)
 "Probably."
"I don't think so."
"No clue."

4-7 (choices, female MC)
 "I think so!"
"I don't think so."
"No idea..."

4-8 (first choice)
 Haha... So you think so, too.
I brought this on myself, huh?

4-8 (second choice)
 Haha, it's stupid to think there'd be
some connection between that and my
dreams, isn't it?
That's what I thought too, at first...
But I know it's unbelievable...

4-8 (third choice)
 Haha... Yeah, I thought you'd say that.
Sorry to ask you such weird questions.
I bet you think I'm crazy.
But there's been too many things
happening to me lately that I can't
explain...

4-9
 That rumor about dying if you don't
wake up before hitting bottom in
a dream...
I'm wondering if I'm gonna die in my
dreams eventually...

4-10
 ...Oh, sorry. I keep saying crazy-
sounding stuff, don't I?
Hey, remember me, okay?
This is probably the last time I'll be
able to drink freely like this...
If I ever see you again, I'll tell you
more of my story.
...Of course, it'll probably have
nothing to do with your problems.
...Man, I really unloaded on you.
Normally, it's the adult who should
be listening to the high-schooler's
problems...
I feel like dirt...
...Be careful on your way back home.
There's a lot of weirdos out there.
...See ya.
