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 enhanced mode with extra content and improvements. Additional features include a new animated intro, opening and ending vocal theme songs, motion-comic cutscenes, creator interview, art gallery, border artwork, save states, and a music player. The clock is ticking...can you survive?

Damn those fuggers.

 

[kunonabi]

So much good art except for the actual cover, lol

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

That day I will buy 2 versions... Ps5 and switch.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

What the...????

 

[Pejo]

Why does the boxart look like AI slop when there's such good art to pick from? Anyways, shame it's LRG, I won't support them for several reasons. Digital it is, I guess.

Who do you think is responsible for the Carbon Engine?

 

[Pejo]

Who do you think is responsible for the Carbon Engine?

I don't even know what the Carbon Engine is. I'm guessing that was a snarky way to say that LRG made it. I guess I'll stick to the PS1 version then.

 

[ssringo]

What the...????

I'm guessing that's for the contents in the box itself and not the game. The game case has "RP" for "Rating Pending".

Alternatively the ESRB is just as desensitized as the rest of us at this point.

Edit: That's a nice looking set overall.

 

[marquimvfs]

The question is, will they use BD+R or BD-R? Verbatim or Sony?

 

[Sorcerer]

Who do you think is responsible for the Carbon Engine?

Isn't it MVG? I would think Limited Run games is just slapping their name on the work he and his team are doing. Limited Run can barely ship a game on time, no way they make an engine. LOL!!!

This game has had an unofficial translation for years.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Im Ready to buy this edition.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

I had to wait too many years to finally be able to officially play and have the physical edition of Clock tower.

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Pre-orders are live.

 

[poodaddy]

LRG?

 

[Ulysses 31]

How long is the game? Saw a full SNES playthrough shorter than 50 minutes.

There are multiple endings to try to get, but given that the original SNES version doesn't even have any save system, it can't be that long.

 

[Anthony Soprano]

Is this not coming to Steam? What a pity.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Is this not coming to Steam? What a pity.

If I recall correctly, there will also be a digital release (including on Steam), but there's no word on when that will happen yet.

Maybe we'll hear something during the upcoming Summer Fest or in another showcase event.

 

[Sojiro]

I like all the goodies that are coming with it, that is cool. The game itself....I didn't care for it. I played the SNES version a few years ago (beat it with one of the endings, I don't recall which) but honestly I really didn't care for it and had to force myself to finish it. The PSX sequel is a much better game imo, and I would be interested if this was that game, but I will pass on this.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Finally after so many years of waiting for official launch , I was able to buy it.

The next month will be the PS5 version

Apparently LRG will be putting a DRM free copy of the game on a thumb drive for those getting the PC version.

 

[Generic]

Is it just the first game? Is there any new content at least?

 

[marquimvfs]

Apparently LRG will be putting a DRM free copy of the game on a thumb drive for those getting the PC version.

Holy shit! That's the most shitty flash drive possible.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

 

[consoul]

Coming soon from LRG:
A collectable box with a piece of paper in it with a URL that you need to type into your browser to download the game.

 

[genesisblock]

What the...????

Looks LIKE AI rendered art. And lol on the E for Everyone tag.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Is this not coming to Steam? What a pity.

The Steam page is now up. ^^

[anthony2690]

I really want to preorder the the physical for this, but gotta wait for payday

I hope it's decent!

 

[Esppiral]

Is this another emulated ROM packed as a game?

 

[bigdad2007]

Instant buy for me. Hopefully we get the PS1 sequels.

 

[Futaleufu]

Apparently LRG will be putting a DRM free copy of the game on a thumb drive for those getting the PC version.

I wonder if they are aware that a flash drive may lose its contents if it isnt plugged in after a certain amount of time (years)

 

[kiphalfton]

Who do you think is responsible for the Carbon Engine?

Not LRG?

They just cash in on the work of others.

Clock Tower: Rewind Deluxe Edition (PS5/Switch) popped-up yesterday on Amazon JP. Apparently it comes with English language support so it's a good option in case you don't want to order from LRG.
