New Clock Tower: Rewind gameplay trailer insight
Originally launching for the Super Famicom back in 1995, Clock Tower is a seminal survival horror point-and-click adventure that follows Jennifer Simpson, an orphan who is mysteriously adopted by the sinister Barrows family. Thrust into a nightmarish ordeal, Jennifer must navigate through the mansion to flee from the persistent menace, Scissorman. Clock Tower’s design and narrative derive considerable influence from the Italian horror maestro Dario Argento’s work, notably his movie Phenomena (1985). Clock Tower has since been pivotal in shaping the survival horror genre for future gaming titles.
Players can opt for the nostalgic experience with the game’s original mode featuring the 1995 gameplay or immerse themselves in an enriched version boasting numerous enhancements. Such additions include a new animated opening, vocal theme songs for the intro and outro, motion-comic styled narrative segments, an exclusive interview with the game’s creator, a visual art gallery, themed borders for the game screen, handy save states, and a robust music player feature. The question remains, will you outlast the horror?
The upcoming Clock Tower: Rewind Physical Edition will be available thanks to Limited Run, with pre-orders taken up until June 30, 2024.
While the precise release date is yet to be confirmed, Clock Tower: Rewind has been slated for release in the Fall of 2024.
