Yesterday, SEGA teased a PC version of Catherine on the official Bayonetta Steam forum. And from the looks of it, this puzzle game will be indeed coming to the PC as it has already been rated by the ESRB.
Here is the game’s description according to the ESRB.
Code:
“This is a puzzle adventure game in which players assume the role of Vincent, a man with relationship issues that are manifested in his dreams. The game transitions between animated cutscenes and puzzle stages (i.e., nightmares); in the nightmare world, players must help Vincent ascend crumbling towers by pushing, pulling, and climbing blocks to reach an exit. If players make the wrong move, they can be killed by spike traps and giant boss creatures (e.g., a demon bride, a chainsaw-wielding baby); death scenes are accompanied by exaggerated splashes of blood as Vincent is stabbed, crushed, shot, or bitten. During one cutscene, a character is stabbed in the stomach with a knife; a large pool of blood quickly forms under her body. In order to move faster in the puzzles stages, players can order Vincent alcoholic beverages (e.g., mixed cocktails, beer, sake, whiskey); after three drinks, he begins to stumble around when moving. These sequences are accompanied by voice-over narration: “It’s said that chugging alcohol isn’t good for you, but sometimes it’s necessary” and “[T]ake a big swig of cognac!” Throughout the game, sex and sexuality are frequently referenced, sometimes while two characters are in bed together (e.g., “I finally became a man! Got rid of my V-card, BOOM,” “If the one you loved confessed to a sexual habit that you found absolutely unacceptable, what would you do?” and “After all you’ve done to my body . . . Night after night . . .”). One bedroom sequence pans across a man’s legs, then to his curling toes; another scene briefly depicts a woman caressing her body while making suggestive comments (e.g., “I’ve got such a hunger for these feelings . . . I know you have some hungers as well, don’t you?” ). The game also depicts the central character surrounded by topless female demons—though shadow effects obscure most details. The words “f**k” and “sh*t” can be heard in the dialogue.”
The game has been rated M for mature as it contains blood, partial nudity, sexual themes, strong language, use of alcohol and violence.
Catherine was originally released on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2011. From the looks of it, though, we’ll be getting the original version and not the Full Body remake that will come out on PS4 and PSVita later this year.
It’s worth noting that at this point Catherine is fully playable on the PC via the RPCS3 emulator.
In this case it started with a sheep image on their official twitter. But it's not like people weren't always hungry for such news. There have been hidden announcements in games, movies etc before.
well its Atlus ...and they are know to hate PC ... so probably was just the throwaway title they got after Sega EU begged for long
Or their "testing the waters" game, which is why they chose something like this instead of Persona. If it fails, they can go "See, we told you so. Now don't bother us again about Persona 5 on PC!"
Atlus absolutely despises PC and cares more about not releasing games on PC than making millions of dollars for relatively little effort.
From a review it seems it's 30 FPS during gameplay but otherwise uncapped, nice to see more ports released and actually getting something from Atlus on PC even if it doesn't have the remake content and changes.

Reports of 30fps gameplay have brought to our attention a bug where the camera and animations are not updating faster than 30fps in the puzzle sections.
We are aware of the bug and are currently looking into it.
Some further clarification on the framerate:
- Videos are locked at 30fps, due to the original assets being fixed at 30fps
- In-engine cutscenes render at vsync or higher
- Animation, movement, camera and rendering should be at vsync in all areas (currently bugged, as explained above); however as the game logic is extremely precise for elements such as sheep, blocks, and bosses, they are triggered at the equivalent of 30fps as in the original console game. Unlocking these elements would have fundamentally altered the gameplay, so the timing for them was preserved.
We’ll have another update on the above and other bug fixes once we’ve cleared QA.
Thanks,
SEGA Dev

Hi all,
Just a quick update on the next patch. With apologies, sorry we couldn't get it out in time for the weekend. It's still in the oven at the moment, but we'll release it in beta early next week, where your feedback will be greatly appreciated. We've squeezed in quite a few fixes, so it will be worth the wait.
Thank you,
SEGA Dev

TL;DR The bugs keeping camera and animations at 30fps have been fixed. However, the boss models and Rapunzel still need a bit more work. We expect to have these fixed in in the next patch.
• Y Camera Axis fixed in boss stages
• Japanese in game audio selection now changes effects to JP
• Numlock no longer aggressively forced
• Steam icons cached : will not change to Xbox 360 icons when game is out of focus when using PS4/Steam controller
• Tutorials now use correct pad type display
• Mouse cursor updated from live position
• Cutscene cameras now interpolate between logic frames
• Puzzle cameras now interpolate between logic frames
• Characters now interpolate movement and animations between logic frames
• Audio sink for WMV playback consistent with game device selection
• Config option AUDIOFOCUS added to ini file, set to 1 to keep game audio when game is not in focus
• Scores are validated as being possible before allowing them to display on the leaderboards
• Pause now shows on screen when paused
• Adjusted timings for the sheep on the title screen to be consistent across languages
• Fixed mouse select for questions
• Fixed blurred cutscenes
