Sunsoft and WayForward have announced that Clock Tower: Rewind will be released on the 31st of October for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch. There was no mention of a date for PC or Xbox platforms.
Clock Tower is one of the original pioneers of the survival-horror genre, it was released in 1995 for the SNES but was only released locally in Japan. There was a sequel released for the PlayStation in 1996 that was 3D, and the original was eventually ported to the PC (Win95) in 1997. It’s incredibly hard to find the original outside of Japan.
Clock Tower takes inspiration from Dario Argento’s classic Italian horror film Phenomena (1985) with the main protagonist sharing the same name Jennifer and a similar look.
Here’s an overview sent to us by WayForward in a press release:
Turn back the clock for one of the pioneers of the survival-horror genre. Translated and released outside of Japan for the first time, Clock Tower: Rewind is a revival of the terror-inducing 16-bit classic that dares you to explore the haunting confines of the Barrows family manor. As teenage orphan Jennifer, you must search every disturbing corner to find items, reveal secrets, and discover ways to evade Scissorman, a murderous, unstoppable, shears-wielding psychopath.
Play Original mode to experience Clock Tower as it was when initially released in 1995, or play Rewind mode with extra content and improvements. Additional features include a new animated intro, opening and ending vocal theme songs, motion comics, creator interview, art gallery, border artwork, save states, and a music player. The clock is ticking…can you survive?
You can find Clock Tower: Rewind on Steam.
