The clock is ticking on Limited Run Games’ standard and collector’s editions of this survival-horror classic
Valencia, Calif. – May 31, 2024 – The time has come for survival-horror fans to add a legendary classic to their collections! WayForward, in conjunction with Sunsoft, Capcom, and Limited Run Games, is terrifyingly thrilled to announce that physical versions of Clock Tower: Rewind — an enhanced, modern-platform revival of the original 16-bit Clock Tower game — are now available to preorder from LimitedRunGames.com. Offered on Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC in standard and collector’s editions, this nightmarish adventure is available as an open preorder until June 30, 2024. A new trailer can be seen below:
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.
Clock Tower: Rewind features the original graphics, sound, and play mechanics of the game’s 1995 release, and can be enjoyed in either Original mode, which lets players experience the game as it was when it initially launched, or Rewind mode, which adds extra content and quality-of-life improvements. Both modes are playable in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Chinese, simplified Chinese, and Korean, as well as the original Japanese, and are accompanied by new features including a new animated intro, opening and ending vocal theme songs, motion comics with voiceovers, interview with creator Hifumi Kono, art gallery, border artwork, save states, and a music player.
The physical version of Clock Tower: Rewind is available in two horrifying editions: a standard edition ($34.99), which includes the game with case and manual (or, for the PC version, the game on a USB drive), and a collector’s edition ($124.99), which adds a plethora of goods to get any horror fan’s blood pumping, including a soundtrack CD, a double-sided 12″ x 16″ poster featuring art by Shintaro Kago, a sticker sheet, a miniature clock tower statuette, a demon idol keychain, a ham object enamel pin, acrylic standees of Jennifer and Scissorman, and a Dan Barrows stressball squishy. The digital versions of Clock Tower: Rewind will launch later this year on Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
