Clock Tower: Rewind

I got robbed of the A rank because I picked up the ham.

This has easily become my favourite horror game of all time and I am really hoping for a remake, or ports of the other games (and Haunting Ground, Capcom please!) because the series desperately needs more love. The atmosphere, the music, the general sense of dread hanging over you as you guide Jennifer through the disorienting mansion corridors, followed by the sting of Scissorman's arrival and the subsequent rush of being chased and trying to find a hiding place in time... the satisfaction of finally puzzling things together, how little things can change on every playthrough and how your actions can shape which endings you get... it all contributes to a really unforgettable horror experience that just hits differently when compared to how soulless and by the numbers some games can feel nowadays. I will say you do need a certain level of patience to fully enjoy this, and you need to go into it with the perspective of looking at the game from a historical lens to see how far the survival horror genre has come. If you can tolerate the archaic quirks, the lack of quality of life features (our dear Jennifer moves veeery slowly when interacting with the environment, for example) and love retro games, there is so much to enjoy here. Just don't be shy about using a guide, because it's easy to get lost and/or mess up, and some of the puzzle solutions and item locations can be pretty cryptic. This game will not hold your hand.

Fiquei levemente chateada com o lance de ser apenas uma "emulação"... creio que o jogo sim tem sua relevância mantendo o original, mas para quem joga nos dias atuais se torna uma tortura ver a personagem andando tão devagar, com "cliques errados" me sinto muuuuito castigada por tempo perdido. A história é empolgante pacas, mas me sinto punida em jogar. Pelo preço e pelo título "Rewind", eu esperava mais que uma emulação

For horror enthusiasts, there's notable slasher and Giallo film inspiration all throughout the game. It's in the atmosphere and the music and the jump scares. Emphasis on the music which is thrilling. Even the protagonist, Jennifer, is pulled straight out of an Argento film. While the horror is on point, the biggest thing holding back this 90s game is the janky controls which I think could have been optimized for a remaster. Steam recommends playing with a control, but I found myself swapping to a mouse just to overcome the awful cursor movement. When things don't go your way, I found it best to rely on the rewind feature to get me out of binds that came from the bad controls. Even with the poor controls, I found myself enjoying this one; I was surprised this was from the 90s because the game mechanics seem a bit ahead of its time. There's rng here, so even though I saw all endings, I don't think I observed everything. There were moments that I saw once or twice over multiple playthroughs, so it's not surprising to see in community screenshots that I may have missed a bit. This is great for those that like to get lost in replays. If you're a fan of 70s and 80s horror, this comes recommended, but mostly if you can get it on discount. Just be careful when playing at night. The randomness will catch you off guard a few times.

Clock Tower es una aventura gráfica simple y corta, que no tiene una jugabilidad compleja, pero sí introdujo elementos de terror como una ambientación opresiva, perseguidores letales, indefensión y sustos, consiguiendo que fuera el primer gran juego de terror psicológico, lanzándose un año antes del primer Resident Evil. Con una historia también sencilla, pero un diseño de niveles que engancha. Una oportunidad de descubrir este juego pionero que sentó las bases del terror videojueguil aunque su ritmo de juego lento no sea el indicado para muchos jugadores modernos. 7’8 Análisis completo: https://yexreviews.wordpress.com/2026/02/01/clock-tower-1995/

잘...모르겠습니다

Realmente no soy de este tipo de juegos, soy mas un niño tiktok que se desespera si el mono se mueve lento; pero no se, este juego me atrapo desde que lo vi en la tienda, sencillamente precioso, tanto por estetica como por historia, sin contar la jugabilidad tan comoda que senti, aun no saque todos los finales pero para mi ya desquito lo que pague. por cierto si lo juegan solos de noche con el sonido al maximo si te saca un susto, puto sisorman me sacaba un pedote
