Clock Tower Rewind (Switch)

The shadows of the Barrows Mansion come to life on the Nintendo Switch in Clock Tower Rewind. This historic release marks the first time the original 16-bit survival-horror classic has been officially translated and released outside of Japan. Perfect for handheld play, this edition allows you to delve into the mystery of the Scissorman wherever you go. You play as Jennifer, an orphan who discovers that her new home is a labyrinth of traps and terror. The game’s transition to the Switch preserves every pixel of its atmospheric art direction while providing a portable way to experience one of the most suspenseful games ever created.

Clock Tower Rewind offers two tailored experiences for every type of player. You can dive into the Original Mode to see the game in its purest form, or select the Enhanced Mode for a more modernised experience. The Enhanced version features numerous gameplay additions, including more responsive controls and quality-of-life refinements that make the point-and-click interface feel natural on the Nintendo Switch. As you navigate the mansion, you must use your environment to hide from the Scissorman. There is no combat here; survival depends entirely on your ability to outsmart your pursuer and keep your composure when the music changes.

With its detailed animations and haunting sound effects, Clock Tower Rewind creates a sense of dread that few modern games can replicate. The story is highly non-linear, featuring multiple endings that are determined by the choices you make and the secrets you uncover. Randomised gameplay elements mean that hiding spots and key items may not be in the same place twice, maximising the replayability and ensuring the jump scares remain effective even for veterans. Discover the origins of survival horror and try to escape the mansion with your life in this definitive collection.
