SNES Longplay - Clock Tower: The First Fear (Fan Translation)

[@fistoftulkas7335]

Watch the movie from 1985 called Phenomena by Dario Argento, this game is massively inspired by it...

[@chavesa5]

Oh yeah. Weird how I never made that connection before. I honestly prefer Clock Tower's warm sprites to Argento's movies though. I know that means I probably have bad taste, but honestly I've never felt enraptured by Argento's style as anything more than "oh so *he's* the progenitor of this aesthetic." His actual movies feel... choppy and kind-of dull.

[@fistoftulkas7335]

No bad taste here, just your taste... I love Argento's movies, although only a select few, he was always hot and cold, and even as a fan i recognize how choppy and disconnected his works are most of the time...

This is one of the best longplays I have ever seen. This game is amazing.

[@MTTT19]

I would love to see a remake of this game. Though I don’t know if the transition into a modern day game would help it retain its atmosphere and horror.

[@KOOPAS1234]

Luigi's Mansion felt more like a parody/remake of it.

[@brettquimby3274]

Ironically, I think that Luigi’s Mansion had more of a scare factor than Clock Tower.

[@MrThischarmingman2]

There is a remake being made that's expected to come out sometime next year. Apparently, it's going to include an original song by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn.

[@Heylanda-fb9xb]

​@@brettquimby3274It's probably because you never expect Luigi's game to be scary and creepy as it was given that it is still a game for children. So when the game get creepy, it scare you a lot.

[@FalconEye3600]

The original Resident Evil 3 introduced me to this game, when I was typing in the clock tower level.

[@samurizzy]

This game is marvelous.

[@Dexshurun1988]

Probably the only time in the Horror genre where you can escape the killer by power walking.

[@brettquimby3274]

I don’t know. The Resident Evil 2 remake made running for it the main means of survival when meeting Mr X.

[@kenhammscousin4716]

Life is too short to walk up a stairway in clock tower For real tho this game is so nostalgic, having grown up playing clocktower(psx) when I was like 9 and it scaring the shut out of me, it’s cool to see a proper horror game for Snes and it kind of completes the story of who tf scissor man was anyway

[@Headless_Bill]

Wow though, so many endings and ways through the game. Talk about replay value.

You gotta LOVE that Fundamentalist-Mormon-style dress that the heroine wears. In the other (relatively few) games where the player is a girl, she always wears a sports bra and skinny jeans, short shorts and a skimpy tank top, or spaghetti straps and skin-tight leggings. This, by contrast, is somewhat refreshing! ♡♡♡♡

[@rainpooper7088]

This game takes place in Norway. No Mormonism, it’s just freaking cold up there.

[@giselletorres4156]

They're not doing it out of some weird modesty thing you're going on about. Main character is supposed to look like Jennifer Connelly. And it's Norway bro

[@giselletorres4156]

Also where's the horror games where girls are in sports bra and skinny jeans.....?

[@grantorino2325]

@@giselletorres4156 Chill, sister! I didn't say _horror_ games necessarily. I said that in 99% of video games _in general_ , the player is a boy. ⚾ And in the 1% where she is a girl 💖, she wears ridiculously scanty, hypersexualized clothing. (e.g., Juliet Starling, Lara Croft, or Jill Valentine.) Not a nice, pretty dress like Jennifer.

[@MariaIsabellaZNN]

With L and R buttins it's possible to always run in this game. Not sure if there's a downside. I played this a lot back in the day until I could get all the endings in record time and I never noticed a drawback. Maybe hedge clipper dude finds you faster if you run constantly but it's not like he is hard to shake.

[@TCgamerboy2002]

There is. Running lowers your stamina. The lower your stamina, the easier it is for you to die.

[@RockyZhou]

I believe you trip a lot more when running from Scissorman if your stamina is low, and I think you're more likely to fail panic events (when Jennifer's portrait flashes red and blue)

[@dragtogo2735]

A very old fan translation indeed. The "Clock Tower Remothered" remake of this game was cancelled do to licensing issues. It looked very well except the CGI cutscenes. I bet it was also taken down years ago maybe by Capcom but I not 100% of the company. The same guy who made "NightCry" not the "Remothered" game was trying to create years age of the remake of Clock Tower Remothered. However he was fed up what happen to his project and recreate a game similar to Clock Tower. Nobody knew till he spoked about it. Forgot his name though. But the gameplay you didn't have to click to move Jennifer. Also it might of been when Kickstarter didn't formed yet. Clock Tower didn't age enough and so did it's game didn't let the light of day either. No series then the four will ever exist. Also the actress who played Jennifer from Labyrinth is also Jennifer in Clock Tower. Same picture design. :3

[@Ch4oTiK]

Yes, that actress is Jennifer Connelly - and she also played in a movie called Phenomena in 1985 which inspired this game.

[@MRG462]

Cristhian Quillas well the ending where you successfully beat Bobby(Scissorman) is explained in the lore Bobby Barrows and his twin brother Dan(the giant tumor thing) were born with deformities that should have killed them at birth, but turning off the Clock Tower screwed up time allowing them to live, therefore turning off the clock tower allows the deformities on bobby to do what they should have done at birth If you have more questions feel free to ask
