This 12 months, Halloween fell on a Thursday, and I used to be so busy with work and different issues that I didn’t handle to make a lot time for spooky gaming within the days main as much as it. I nonetheless have a hankering for some interactive scares, nonetheless, so this weekend, I hope to play one of many landmark video games within the historical past of survival horror, formally translated into English and launched within the States for the primary time: Clock Tower. The brand new model, Clock Tower: Rewind, involves us courtesy of WayForward and represents my first actual probability to play the 1995 SNES horror basic.
I really don’t know a lot in regards to the unique Clock Tower, and I’ve stored it that method on goal, as I wish to go in figuring out as little as potential and determine it out for myself. It’s scarier that method. However briefly, it’s a 2D, survival horror point-and-click recreation that tells the story of Jennifer, a teenage orphan who’s adopted by a household with an enormous, spooky manor, and finds herself stalked by a horrifying entity often called Scissorman. WayForward’s launch enables you to play an enhanced model of the sport “which options quite a few gameplay additions and quality-of-life refinements,” and I could examine that out as nicely, however for starters, I’ll be enjoying in Authentic mode, and experiencing the sport similar to it was when it scared the socks off of so many Japanese gamers method again in 1995. Certain, it could be November now, however I’m gonna linger in late October for just a bit bit longer if it’s all the identical to you. — Carolyn Petit
