Description

Vincent Brooks finds his life turned upside down when he is torn between his longtime girlfriend Katherine and a seductive new woman named Catherine.

Featuring full HD cinematics, branching storylines, and a unique blend of horror, comedy, and romance, the game challenges both the mind and the heart.
