“Catherine has exceeded our highest expectations.” These words from Atlus’ vice president of Sales and Marketing, Tim Pivnicny, hit on multiple levels. The unusual horror-puzzler has seen widespread critical acclaim and has managed to translate that quality into its sales with the single highest-selling launch of any title in Atlus’ history. Atlus, which has been around for 20 years, is the publisher behind the Shin Megami Tensei series of surrealist horror-RPGs. Mixing together such diverse elements as Buddhist philosophy, popular culture, tech dependency, and apocalyptic scenarios, the Shin Megami Tensei titles have a strong following in the gaming community. The Persona sub-series, in particular, has drawn tremendous acclaim for a take on the genre that is both traditional and inventive, working gameplay from dating sims into a combat-heavy RPG.
