Clock Tower: Rewind releasing October 31 on Switch

It’s been some time since we last heard about Clock Tower: Rewind, which was announced for Switch release last year and received a limited edition physical pre-order earlier this year via Limited Run Games. Sunsoft have now confirmed that the game will release on Switch in a couple of months, on October 31.

Catch up on the game with an overview below:

Turn back the clock for one of the pioneers of the survival-horror genre. Translated and released outside of Japan for the first time, Clock Tower: Rewind is a revival of the terror-inducing 16-bit classic that dares you to explore the haunting confines of the Barrows family manor. As teenage orphan Jennifer, you must search every disturbing corner to find items, reveal secrets, and discover ways to evade Scissorman, a murderous, unstoppable, shears-wielding psychopath.

Play original mode to experience Clock Tower as it was when initially released in 1995, or play enhanced mode with extra content and improvements. Additional features include a new animated intro, opening and ending vocal theme songs, motion-comic cutscenes, creator interview, art gallery, border artwork, save states, and a music player. The clock is ticking…can you survive?
