This isn’t just a port; it’s a respectful revival, offering both a pristine recreation of the 1995 original and an enhanced “Rewind” mode.

Step into the unsettling shoes of Jennifer, a teenage orphan trapped in the ominous Barrows family manor. Your only companion is the ever-present dread of Scissorman, a relentless killer armed with, you guessed it, shears.

*Clock Tower: Rewind* masterfully blends point-and-click exploration with nail-biting tension. The atmospheric 2D art, detailed animations, and haunting sound design create a palpable sense of unease. Every creak, every shadow, heightens the suspense. Multiple endings and randomized events ensure replayability, guaranteeing fresh scares with each playthrough.

But *Rewind* isn’t just about nostalgia. New additions, including a stunning animated intro, vocal theme songs by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn, motion comics, and a creator interview, add layers of depth and context. Quality-of-life improvements in Rewind mode, along with save states, make the experience more accessible without sacrificing the original’s chilling atmosphere.

Whether you’re a seasoned survival horror veteran or a newcomer eager to experience a classic, *Clock Tower: Rewind* offers a terrifyingly good time. The clock is ticking – are you brave enough to face Scissorman?
