I support game preservation, so I'll give this game a good rating, but I recommend you get it during a sale, since it's pretty overpriced for the content it offers. I do hope it does well though, so we can eventually get a port of the second game (the real second game, not that crap Ghost Head lol)

Pro-tips: R is Rewind button. Q and E make Jennifer run from side to side of rooms, usually automatically using door as well. Shift makes her stop movement. If you want to lower your panic meter - use shift while standing still. Makes her vunerable tho. Double tap F or mouse to interact with doors and stairs in a way that makes her run. Ending credits scroll faster with E. Now on to review: First things first What to expect from "Rewind" If you are expecting "modern remaster" with faster gameplay, widescreen support, 120 fps, maps.. this isn't for you. Take this as essentially first official release of this game in west, in English(+other languages). Any english text you might've seen before has been fan-patches for JP version or someones own translations on youtube/images. Jennifer moves as fast as her sprite has frames and how fast she was originally coded to go. That has not changed. Brief Clock Tower history Feel free to skip if youve watched essays on the game. Clock Tower is, originally, SNES "point and click"-styled horror game released only in Japan later ported to PS1, also only in JP. The "Clock Tower" that came to west was actually "Clock Tower 2" but marketing made it drop 2, and all that. Many of you have probably heard of the game via video essays or such reviews. Some more comical than others. While nowdays the horror of Clock Tower might not be "thought provoking", gorey, "tight survival horror action" or jumpscare-fest - remember that during that time this came out there was no Evil Residents, No hills being silent. The very few "horror games" were pretty much things like ghouls 'n' ghosts, Splatterhouse, castlevania, or my childhood terror from NES; monster party (seriously what were they smoking with that one?). So in short: It is still SNES/PSX game despite being run on FullHD instead of what, 256×224 from back then? Short in theory if you know what to do, but there are 9 endings. If you are interested more about the game, highly recommended watching some video essays about the game - or just playing it! Q&A jumpscares? technically yes. Enemy can appear randomly and music turns, well, on. Otherwise its empty ambient with footsteps. No "flashing whole screen with image" tho. Should I use guide for this? Probably if you have zero knowledge of the game. Try few endings first tho! "Allright ill just use map" uh, yeah about that.. most rooms, and some item locations, in the game are slightly randomized which positively increases the replay value for sure. Makes reading guides bit more painful tho. Point and Click? Does that mean there's pixel hunting and moon logic? Surprisingly, no. The ONLY pixel hunt that there is, is the perfume you need from master bedroom (under mirror). No "moon logic" either, most things are pretty much said in dialogue or item names are straightforward like "cage key" not "crescent moon wolf key you have no idea where to use". It does have the classic "MC doesnt know what this is until MC reads about it/tries something first". For example you have to reach shelf first to know its out of reach before you can push box near it. Quality of Life options There are two modes. First is pretty much SNES game, translated of course. With all the pros and cons of the game and gaming of that era. It does have mouse support however, no stair runs, no save states etc. As for QoL in Rewind version: There are quality of life changes in "rewind" version such as, well, rewinding (save state), sprint on stairs, more agressive enemy.. Extra content New animated opening, motion-comics that are from prev. released manga of original game by original creators with voice-overs, and vocal theme song performed by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn (Silent Hill songs fame), Art gallery, music player, behind-the-scenes creator interview, 6 border arts, simple CRT filter and "demo sampler" that was previously only for press in JP to showcase the game. TL;DR: Clock Tower is, originally, SNES "point and click"-styled horror game released only in Japan now finally translated. Consider this as "Port+" not "remaster".

Game is great, but it has it's issues. Alt-Tabbing out of the game actually breaks the game, as it makes the text completely unreadable when you re-enter the game. There is no fix for this. You have to simply restart the game. Playing through your first playthrough of the game gets intrusive text saying you "Unlocked a new Motion Comic" and it lingers on for a while breaking your immersion of the game's story and gameplay, kinda wish this was a much smaller box. The game also doesn't highlight that there's a main menu option (using RT) and a Rewind function (using LT) which would have been nice to know in the "How To Play" section for the Rewind version of the game. It only really tells you the basic SFC controls. I also wish this game had new Animated Cutscenes like the Intro, or at least a redrawn look to fit the style. Would have been a nice new coat of paint, but I understand the point of this release was to bring forth a proper English Release of a Horror Classic from the Super Nintendo era. I am pretty glad this game exists and I fully recommend it since it has 8 total endings to go through. It's short (about 3 hours long), but so many different scenarios can be done with just a single playthrough, it's outstanding. Hope all the little issues can get ironed out since I full approve of this release.
