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 likelihood to play the 1995 SNES horror traditional.
I truly don’t know a lot in regards to the unique Clock Tower, and I’ve stored it that method on objective, as I need to go in figuring out as little as attainable and determine it out for myself. It’s scarier that method. However in brief, 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 generally known as Scissorman. WayForward’s launch permits you to play an enhanced model of the sport “which options quite a few gameplay additions and quality-of-life refinements,” and I’ll test that out as effectively, however for starters, I’ll be enjoying in Authentic mode, and experiencing the sport identical to it was when it scared the socks off of so many Japanese gamers method again in 1995. Positive, it might 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
