The clock is ticking for the modern release of a survival horror classic! Indie game studio WayForward, alongside publishing partners Sunsoft and Limited Run Games, is awfully excited to announce that an upgraded version of the original 16-bit Clock Tower is heading to the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox and PC in early 2024, marking the first time this terrifying initial adventure of the popular horror series will be officially translated and released in North America and Europe.
Originally released on the Super Famicom in 1995 in Japan, Clock Tower traps players in the Barrows family mansion, where they are pursued by Scissorman, a murderous scissor-wielding psychopath. As orphaned teenager Jennifer Simpson, players will use a point-and-click interface to explore the mansion and search every creepy corner to find items, reveal secrets, and discover ways to survive Scissorman’s onslaught. Without any offensive abilities, Jennifer must rely on her wits and resourcefulness to hope to pull through and win 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 pioneer of the survival-horror genre.
Harnessing the power of Limited Run Games’ Carbon Engine, this new edition of Clock Tower retains the authenticity of the original release’s gameplay, graphics, and sound, while adding modern features and enhancements. These include a new vocal theme performed by Mary McGlynn (Silent Hill series), a new animated opening, motion-comic cutscenes before and following the game, bonus art gallery, border art, saves speeds, multiple language options, and more.
Clock Tower will be published digitally in Europe by WayForward, followed by a physical version which will be offered on select platforms by Limited Run Games.
