Popular Post Suminya Posted July 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) Quote This enhanced version of the original 16-bit Clock Tower marks the first time this terrifying initial adventure in the popular horror series will officially be translated and released in North America and Europe. Originally released on Super Famicom in 1995 in Japan, Clock Tower traps players in the haunting confines of the Barrows family manor, where they’ll be pursued by Scissorman, a murderous, shears-wielding psychopath. As teenage orphan Jennifer Simpson, players will use a point-and-click interface to explore the mansion and search every disturbing corner to find items, reveal secrets, and discover ways to survive Scissorman’s assaults. Without any offensive capabilities, Jennifer must rely on her wits and resourcefulness if she has any hope of escaping with her life and earning one of the game’s multiple endings. A tense atmosphere, chilling sound effects, detailed 2D animations, and randomized elements to maximize replayability demonstrate why Clock Tower is considered a groundbreaking pioneer in the survival-horror genre. Harnessing the power of Limited Run Games’ Carbon Engine, this new edition of Clock Tower retains the authentic gameplay, graphics, and sound of the original version while also adding modern features and enhancements. These include a new vocal theme song performed by Mary McGlynn (Silent Hill series), a new animated opening, motion-comic cutscenes before and after the game, a bonus art gallery, border artwork, save states, multiple language options, and more. Clock Tower will be published digitally in North America and Europe by WayForward, followed by a physical version that will be offered on select platforms by Limited Run Games. Further details, including information on the physical preorder window, will be announced at a later date.

I never played the first two games, but I loved Clock Tower 3. It was a terrifying experience at the time, at least for me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RotatingCube Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Clock Tower 3 is the one where the main character uses a bow right? Now it was a long time ago so I might be remembering this wrong but wasn't that game a bit more goofy than scary (especially when compared to the first two)? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biscoito18 Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Finally something about Clock Tower. Hope it sells well. A full remake would be perfect but this is great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmileSlice Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 (edited) I literally can’t contain my excitement for this! Never in a million years did I ever think we’d see a port. Edited July 13, 2023 by SmileSlice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favourite survival horror games growing up. 3 was basically Clock Tower: Magical Girl Edition. And it was awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StraightVege Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Nice, it's the only Clock Tower game I haven't had an opportunity to play just yet. Was planning to do a run via emulation, but I might as well wait for this release now. 1 hour ago, RotatingCube said: Clock Tower 3 is the one where the main character uses a bow right? Now it was a long time ago so I might be remembering this wrong but wasn't that game a bit more goofy than scary (especially when compared to the first two)? Indeed! The main character, Alyssa, pulls some type of Sailor Moon nonsense and transforms into a "Rooder," armed with a magical bow to punish the various serial killers. It's a profoundly strange game to be sure, featuring hilariously frantic, mocapped cutscene direction by Kinji Fukasaku of all people. Not bad, though. Clock Tower 2, on the other hand, was terrible in so many ways, but the hysterical presence of Bates (voiced by the eminent Roger Jackson) almost made up for it. He frickin' carried that trainwreck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never in a million years did I ever think we’d see a port. That's what I was thinking when I saw this announced, the whole JonTron thing with "Clock Towel? That's not very scary." is what came to mind first. But man, all these announcements of games that I must play now. Three Gex games, Tomba and now Clock Tower. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deceptrox Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Any news on the actual date when Clock Tower will be released? They said early 2024 so I'm assuming on March but still nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some hours ago WayForward used their twitter to talk about just released and upcoming games, they also answered some questions asked by twitter users. While they did not give an exact date they said in the next few months when answering a question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came here wondering about this, very exciting for this but feeling underwhelmed with the lack of news since the announcement, especially since it was slated for early this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
