Revealing Clock Tower: Rewind’s increased, scare- packed fresh game style
Hi! I’m Mariel Kinuko Cartwright, innovative lead on Clock Tower: Rewind, and now I’m excited to share some new information about the sport with you. Headed to PS5 and PS4, Clock Tower: Rewind is an updated launch of the classic 16- little preservation- horror game Clock Tower, which was initially released in Japan in 1995. WayForward and Limited Run have collaborated with Sunsoft and Capcom to eventually introduce the game to a worldwide market, where it has a dedicated fan base but has never had an official launch outside of Japan.
Before we get into the fresh information of Rewind Mode, this analyze some of the cold game’s history.
My personal involvement with Clock Tower began in my early teens, when I stumbled across the match entirely by accident. The sport follows teenager infant Jennifer Simpson, who was just adopted, along with three of her companions, and I soon enjoyed the graphics and environment. Little does she realize that the Barrows family’s strange mansion, where she now resides, contains some ominous strategies. It was n’t too long before I met our main villain: the terrifying Scissorman, who’s relentless in his pursuit of Jennifer!
Although I’ve always loved horror, even when I was younger, Clock Tower was so spooky that I could n’t play it for more than a few minutes. It remains one of the scariest game I’ve previously played even now, and the tale, characters, and placing have made a big impact on the way I think about games and story. It’s a truly dramatic story of finding and horror, wrapped up in a point-and-click package, with only one opponent pursuing you throughout the entire sport, with many different methods that the plot can play out. Since I first played it, it has been one of my favorite sports, and I know that fans all over the world have a special place in their hearts as well.
Clock Tower: Rewind is a truly wonderful activity, and we’re finally getting the chance to share it with everyone! With this fresh transfer, we’ve included the original 16- little game, as it was in 1995, but even added a ton of fun extras to make Clock Tower: Replay a fresh package for both new and existing fans everywhere.
Clock Tower: Rewind will have two main types — Original and Rewind. Original style is really what it sounds like: this is Clock Tower, ported directly from the 1995 type, with new interpretations in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese. Rewind method, an improved version of the original game, is finally introduced.
Today, we’d like to disclose more information about what Rewind setting entails.
The classic Clock Tower basically had two releases — the 1995 16- little edition, and an updated version called Clock Tower: The First Fear, released on the initial PlayStation in 1997. Clock Tower: The First Fear added new content, such as new scares, more story, and even additional enemies. Did you know there was a room you could n’t access in the 16- bit game? You’ll soon discover a different bedroom with a hiding area for Scissorman. Events in later Clock Tower games will be set up in a new cutscene at a crucial moment in the game, too. Also, keep an eye out for a particular corpse or haunted doll that might appear.
We added that new content from The First Fear to the original version, allowing players to experience everything Clock Tower had to offer, in Rewind mode.
We did n’t stop there, though. With Rewind mode, Scissorman has also added in-depth new features, including an updated chase system that allows him to follow you through more rooms and hide in more locations, increasing the scares even more. Complementing that is better controls for Jennifer, allowing her to run on stairs, find new hiding places, and even use a few weapons. Add in some bug fixes and adjustments to the quality of life, and you have the best version of Clock Tower, in our opinion.
Without the Clock Tower fan community, with whom we collaborated to bring Rewind mode to life, none of this would be possible. Rewind mode was a great way to build on their work, and it was a pleasure to work with gamers who were both knowledgeable about the game.
Additionally, Clock Tower: Rewind adds new content from other games, such as newly released original music from Dale North ( with two distinct vocal tracks, one featuring Emi Evans of Nier and the other featuring Mary Elizabeth McGlynn of Silent Hill ), beautifully animated motion comics with brand-new VO, an animated intro directed by yours truly, and more.
Clock Tower: Rewind lands worldwide this fall on PS5 and PS4. A classic, genre-defining survival horror title, make sure to grab your copy.
