Game Description:
One of the pioneers of the survival-horror genre, Clock Tower: Rewind marks the first time that the groundbreaking Super Famicom Clock Tower game will be officially translated and released outside of Japan, thanks to the power of Limited Run Games’ Carbon Engine. This intense, chilling adventure casts players in the role of teenage orphan Jennifer, who must explore the haunting confines of the Barrows family manor to find items, reveal secrets, and discover ways to evade Scissorman, a murderous, unstoppable, shears-wielding psychopath.
