Who's your favourite clock tower / mgs character?
hey anon! thanks for the ask <3
my favourite clock tower character is definitely jennifer, the pick is probably generic for some but there’s nothing like being able to survive a killer, whose constantly stalking you with a large pair of scissors. putting it simply, i love her.
my favourite metal gear solid character? that’s a tough one… i can round it down to two. my favourite protagonist is solid snake (like that wasn’t obvious already), and my favourite antagonist is revolver ocelot. to describe my slow obsession with this menace, it was pretty much like the hyper fixation descended down onto me like a friendly rock to the head.

Clock Tower ‘Port+’ announced for PS5, Xbox Series, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC
Gematsu Source
Publishers WayForward and Limited Run Games have announced an enhanced version of Super Famicom survival horror game Clock Tower for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC (Steam). It will launch in early 2024 with support for English, Japanese, French, Italian, German, and Spanish language support.
Here is an overview of the game, via WayForward:
About
This enhanced version of the original 16-bit Clock Tower marks the first time this terrifying initial adventure in the popular horror series will officially be translated and released in North America and Europe.
Originally released on Super Famicom in 1995 in Japan, Clock Tower traps players in the haunting confines of the Barrows family manor, where they’ll be pursued by Scissorman, a murderous, shears-wielding psychopath. As teenage orphan Jennifer Simpson, players will use a point-and-click interface to explore the mansion and search every disturbing corner to find items, reveal secrets, and discover ways to survive Scissorman’s assaults. Without any offensive capabilities, Jennifer must rely on her wits and resourcefulness if she has any hope of escaping with her life and earning one of the game’s multiple endings. A tense atmosphere, chilling sound effects, detailed 2D animations, and randomized elements to maximize replayability demonstrate why Clock Tower is considered a groundbreaking pioneer in the survival-horror genre.
Harnessing the power of Limited Run Games’ Carbon Engine, this new edition of Clock Tower retains the authentic gameplay, graphics, and sound of the original version while also adding modern features and enhancements. These include a new vocal theme song performed by Mary McGlynn (Silent Hill series), a new animated opening, motion-comic cutscenes before and after the game, a bonus art gallery, border artwork, save states, multiple language options, and more.
Clock Tower will be published digitally in North America and Europe by WayForward, followed by a physical version that will be offered on select platforms by Limited Run Games. Further details, including information on the physical preorder window, will be announced at a later date. For the latest news, please visit www.wayforward.com and www.limitedrungames.com, and follow @wayforward and @limitedrungames on social media.
