Clock Tower

Originally released on the SFC platform in 1995, "Clock Tower" is an early horror game that successfully combined "chase + puzzle" elements. The game uses a "point-and-click" control mode, where players explore rooms, pick up key items, and evade enemies. The experience is accompanied by oppressive music and sudden jump scares, ensuring a consistently tense atmosphere.

The protagonist, Jennifer Simpson, is an orphan who is brought to a mysterious mansion with other girls. However, she soon discovers her companions are disappearing mysteriously, and a strange man known as the "Scissorman" is hunting everyone in secret. The game has no combat system; the player's only means of survival are running, hiding, and deduction.

The game features multiple endings, determined by the player's choices at critical junctures and the survival status of the characters, adding to its replayability and exploration potential.
