Everyone, PLEASE watch this. GoodBadFlicks' video game coverage is excellent, show your support, so we get more videos covering games. According to GBF (hope not to misquote, here) but his videos covering games apparently do not perform well
I mean the thing is you can tell that he is working with Limited Run Games, rather than do this video willingly. Considering the research in this video is quite bare bones, and he downplays how much a train wreck Nightcry was, I recommend tangomushi video if you want to know more about that game. This Limited run collabs just lack that GBF exploring umph to it.
Clocktower 1 (OG), Clock Tower 3 (PS2), and Haunting Ground will always hold a special place in my heart. Those games scared me and stressed me out more (in a good way) than most horror movies! Thanks for the memories, sir!
I love a GBF exploring video but I really enjoy the rare videos covering classic games. I seriously want to play the classic game. I love Dario Argentos films and to see a game homaging them is quite brilliant. Such an original concept for its time too. Cheers Cecil for this video. Always love your work, mate.
I remember back in the day EGM had screenshots and synopsis about Clock Tower with a hope that it'd come over to the states. Those scissors were nightmare fuel for me as a kid seeing just the art at the time. Clocktower: Rewind is currently on sale on Steam for $14.99 till November 4th.
I'm so stoked. My step brother and I played the hell out of Clock Tower (technically Clock Tower 2) on the PlayStation back in the day. I've always wanted to go back and play the original.
i love this upcoming remake. Like it's an old game that might not be mainstream or whatever. But simply all the love and respect it has is genuinely heartwarming
Dude this was an awesome watch! Love your work Cecil, games or movies. You always put so much research into your work it never fails to impress and educate. Had no idea the dude who worked on the Clock Tower series went on to make Steel-fucking-Batalion, that's insane and I love it.
I remember seeing Clock Tower 2, pretty sure it was, in a GamePro magazine ages back, but since I didn't have the PS1 I couldn't play it. It looked interesting and I'm glad to see it's such a beloved franchise, and even more pleased that it's getting more attention than anybody could have imagined nowadays. I hope everyone playing Rewind has a wonderful time getting to experience a remastered classic.
You are very good at covering videogames! I love the plummers don't wear ties and the Faith video. But this one, oh boy. You really pull it off. Congratulations 👏
Gotta be honest and say that I was expecting another classic deep dive into the movie Clock Tower, but was pleasantly surprised to see a video game historical review. I've never heard of either the movie or game, so this was great! Thanks for this and I hope you do more video game Explorings. Cheers!
Excellent stuff Cecil! There are tons of game reviewers out there but I love your own unique way of analysing and presenting your videos. I really hope your gaming videos take off
Great job on the video, Cecil. I know I missed out on a lot of horror games, since I only had a PC. Glad to hear that Clock Tower is getting a reboot for more gamers to appreciate it. It's always the best games that keep finding more fans.
You do a really great job with this content too. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. “Exploring” vids are always special. Must take a ton of research. Keep it up 👍🏻
Old horror games like that will always be special to me, and I'm glad to have an official release for this one and hope to be able to buy it soon. I remember hunting down the translated one after beating the PS1 games to get the full story even though struggling didn't really fit in from what I remember. Great video
I've been doing something game related about once a year for the past few years. I think I did the first one about 8 years ago but so far I've covered Legend of Zelda CDi, Sewer Shark, Cold Fear, Crow City of Angels, Plumbers Don't Wear Ties, Golden Axe Beast Rider, Disaster Report, Manhunter New York...I think thats all of them. (so far)
thank you so much for reviewing. I loved the SNES Titel. the atmosphere, the different endings, the new horrors in each playthrough and the music. Will definetly look into the Rewind Game
I've been mildly obsessed with this game ever since I first heard about it, but since it never released here I figured I'd just have to do without or watch other gamers do playthroughs. I'm honestly pretty stoked I'm finally gonna get to play it!
I remember the hype around the PS1 version back in the day, and how it caused a bit of controversy out here where I live. But I actually had no idea it was such a big franchise! Thanks for the info! I'm going to check this out! =)
Clocktower is the absolute scariest game to me. I played it waaay too young and all the sound effects are burned into my brain and triggers my fight or flight (in this games case just my flight response)
I really do miss your videos that's more gaming related, clock tower was some of the coolest thing ever I never got to play XD Your disaster report video is till Goated tier man
I LOVE the first two Clock Tower games. I’m glad to know that Rewind comes out tomorrow, because the official website still says “Fall 2024”. Thanks for the heads up. 👍 Loving your video game vids. If you’re taking suggestions for future Exploring videos, I’d recommend the Deception series.
I remember first learning about Clock Tower back when I was attending college, and being really intrigued by its overall core concepts and presentation, while also being a little baffled that just as with the game Mother a.k.a. Earthbound Zero, despite both games being heavily American influenced, they both had never received a U.S. release within the time of their initial Japan release dates, while their respective direct sequels of Clock Tower 2 and Mother 2 a.k.a. Earthbound were both given U.S. releases within the time of their initial Japan release dates.
I haven't played any video games of any kind since my PS2 finally died, about 15 years ago...lol I find video game culture amazing, and it's fascinating how popular gaming has become.
I was first introduced to Clock Tower on Christmas Day of 1997. My stepdad had no clue what to get me for Christmas, so he randomly chose Clock Tower PS1. I ended up playing that game all day, giving myself nightmares that Christmas night. Years later, I learned there was a prequel for the SNES, and I fell in love all over again. I loved it SO much that I requested Clock Tower 2: The Struggle Within for Christmas of 1999....bad move, that's legitimately one of the worst games of all time (except for Roger L. Jackson basically playing Ghostface if he were trapped inside of a 16 year old girl).
Wasn't expecting a video on Clock Tower from Cecil, and one that touches on many points in gaming history that I don't think many game channels would actually do. The History of Human Entertainment is basically a huge origin for many figures and legends within the game industry that would make many unique cult classic games. Besides Hifumi Kono, It's how Suda 51 got his start with firepro wrestling and Moonlight/Twilight Syndrome, as well as Sandlot, The devs of Earth defense force and Robot Alchemic Drive, with Remote Control Dandy. Clock Tower 1 is one of my favorite recent horror games I played through and really captures the feel of an argento film very well that most other games just haven't. Clock Tower 3 However I think is one of the most unique experiments for a horror game, given people like Kinji Fukasaku and Keita Amemiya, that makes it one of a kind for the genre.
How about a video on "Chuck Norris Superkicks"? It's the greatest video game ever made. And don't forget to do a on Chuck Norris's movie "Invasion USA" the greatest christmas movie ever made. 🧔
7:20 now THIS is a game that deserves its own video! Mizurna Falls is soooo ahead of its time... Fellow watchers - look it up. You won't be disappointed! It's like Twin Peaks crossed with GTA3 on Playstation 1!
I love the semi-anthology approach Clock Towers games did in the style of Dragon Quest and older Silent Hill games. Only two Clock Tower games are connected as a traditional sequel. But all the Clock Tower games are still set in the same shared universe. All but one game are connected by a Scissor Man copycat killer.
I remember picking up the us clock tower "1" and enjoying the game but being utterly confused by the sense a lot of plot was missing. Didn't know until years later it was a sequel.
This is really weird for me because when I was a kid, mum mum let me pick something inexpensive from a game shop. I couldn’t find a game that looked good and settled on this book compiling strategy guides for NES titles. Mix of JRPGS, isometrics and platformers. I was fascinated by these long out of print titles and was mortified to find out the awesome looking Beetlejuice and Robin Hood were AVGN fodder. Amongst those titles was an NES port of the very game discussed here, Clocktower. Never found anything about it thereafter, and it’d fascinated me. Shame I don’t have the book, maybe this game was never actually released…
Another game that was HEAVILY inspired by Clock Tower was the most recent Five Nights at Freddy's game Into the Pit. It takes the franchise in the direction of pixel art adventure horror, and is spiritually a big love letter to Clock Tower.
I’ve not play Clock Tower. But have always been aware, and fond of it. It has such a simple, cool idea! Maybe it was simply ahead of its time to have the global success it deserved?! Truly it was unappreciated! But that being said. Time is a strange thing! 🤔. I wanted to add the video game WIERD DREAMS into this arena. It also has survival horror elements in it too. But perhaps it is too arcade in nature. To be classed as TRUE “Survival Horror!” 🤔
Kei Man Rider BLACK 🤣 I know I should not nitpick, but I love Kamen Rider BLACK, but it's pronounced KAH-men, not Kei-men. Otherwise, love your show and what you do, keep up the good work.
This game franchise is between my most wanted on my videogame bucket list. Besides, is a great homage to classic Giallo films, but it is playable. However, if I could ask for a port to WayForward, it would be a console port for Aliens Infestation, after the sucess and a planned sequel for Alien Romulus and the videogame Alien Isolation, a port for Aliens Infestation would be awesome since trying to get the Nintendo DS cartridge Is a hard task from many.
I've always found it funny that horror films are seen as cheap, easy money that you can give to a new director to cut their teeth on while horror games are incredibly difficult to make right.
This is the game that stated the whole run, hide and survive gimmick! No offence to games like Resident Evil and Silent Hill, and I love those franchises! Masterpieces! Don't get me wrong! But not having any weapons at your disposal and being defenseless, truly makes the experience terrifying! Which is why I LOVE Outlast! One day, I really want to play Clock Tower. Right now, I don't really have the time for it at the moment, but it is on my bucket list of games! Also, the third instalment went more action? Wow, a horror survival series turning action...mmmm...where have I heard that before? *looks at Capcom* lol but anyway, it's great they remade Clock Tower outside of Japan! When I get the chance to play it, I hope the hype was right.
@@n.s.latwal9172 In the case of Phoebe Cates I can understand her aesthetic appeal because she's part Asian, but Jennifer Connelly I don't completely understand besides her being generally attractive. There might be some kind of cultural explanation I can't understand.

This will get algorithmic traction, thanks to its' timely tie-in to the Spooky Season and Clocktower's Oct 29th release date.
The message is sound. The placement isn't terribly effective.
Prob because he's not known as a gaming channel
I mean the thing is you can tell that he is working with Limited Run Games, rather than do this video willingly.

WHAAAT!?
One of my favorite UA-camrs covering one of my favorite franchises let’s go!!!
I'm so happy Clock Tower is getting love again.
Clocktower 1 (OG), Clock Tower 3 (PS2), and Haunting Ground will always hold a special place in my heart. Those games scared me and stressed me out more (in a good way) than most horror movies! Thanks for the memories, sir!
That was a fun one to watch,
I knew some of the history, but this told me so much more.
Well done.
I love a GBF exploring video but I really enjoy the rare videos covering classic games. I seriously want to play the classic game. I love Dario Argentos films and to see a game homaging them is quite brilliant. Such an original concept for its time too.
Cheers Cecil for this video. Always love your work, mate.
As a big Kamen Rider fan I almost squeed with joy when you mentioned Kamen Rider Black.
Which h one?
I'd love if Cecil covered Kamen Rider ZO. It's only an hour long, and so rad/fun. Guyver movie fans should dig it.
@thomaspayton-tb9oj My favorite Kamen Rider is Riderman. I'm fact he's my all time favorite superhero.
Great to see you covering such an influential game as brilliantly as you do for movies
Would have been cool if it had Kinuko's art style to overlay the og graphics, but just glad it's an official US release finally. Great video!!
Nice vid Cecil - this is one of those series that has always peeked my interest!
I remember back in the day EGM had screenshots and synopsis about Clock Tower with a hope that it'd come over to the states. Those scissors were nightmare fuel for me as a kid seeing just the art at the time. Clocktower: Rewind is currently on sale on Steam for $14.99 till November 4th.

"I'm sorry, Miss. The lens cap was on. Would you mind throwing yourself at the floor again?"
i love this upcoming remake. Like it's an old game that might not be mainstream or whatever. But simply all the love and respect it has is genuinely heartwarming
Dude this was an awesome watch! Love your work Cecil, games or movies. You always put so much research into your work it never fails to impress and educate. Had no idea the dude who worked on the Clock Tower series went on to make Steel-fucking-Batalion, that's insane and I love it.
Glad you enjoyed it, it was a ton of fun making this one!
Glad to see you're keeping this series alive.
I remember seeing Clock Tower 2, pretty sure it was, in a GamePro magazine ages back, but since I didn't have the PS1 I couldn't play it. It looked interesting and I'm glad to see it's such a beloved franchise, and even more pleased that it's getting more attention than anybody could have imagined nowadays.
I hope everyone playing Rewind has a wonderful time getting to experience a remastered classic.

Best episode of JonTron.
People don't come over anymore.
You are very good at covering videogames! I love the plummers don't wear ties and the Faith video. But this one, oh boy. You really pull it off. Congratulations 👏
Great video! It's nice to see Clock Tower get some much love. I started playing it last night, it's a great port. Highly recommend.
Thanks!

Glad to see you put a video up on games again😊
Old horror games like that will always be special to me, and I'm glad to have an official release for this one and hope to be able to buy it soon. I remember hunting down the translated one after beating the PS1 games to get the full story even though struggling didn't really fit in from what I remember. Great video
Even though video games have only been a lukewarm interest of mine in 55 years of life the "Exploring" episodes are always interesting to listen too.
11:00 Wasn't expecting to hear about Infinite Space...ever, but cool!
Now we are talking! Videos about games are a win-win for me!
I know it's gonna be a good day when I see a new GBF video pop up in my recommends. Great stuff as always, Cecil! Keep up the awesome work, bud!
This is a fantastic video and also Cecil I love all of your ideas for future game remasters Especially Sweet Home and Mizzourna Falls.
Awesome vid! We need more game coverage! Your format of review and development history is top notch and I would love to see more about vidya gaems!
Wow... UA-cam actually notified me about your upload...
Thank you in advance for the cool episode
I know you used to do movies a lot now you're starting doing games interesting.
I've been doing something game related about once a year for the past few years. I think I did the first one about 8 years ago but so far I've covered Legend of Zelda CDi, Sewer Shark, Cold Fear, Crow City of Angels, Plumbers Don't Wear Ties, Golden Axe Beast Rider, Disaster Report, Manhunter New York...I think thats all of them. (so far)
Oh @@GoodBadFlicks
Great job, man. I’ve always been a fan, and can’t wait for a new crowd to enjoy it ✂️
Cant think of a better game for you to cover, keep em coming!!!!
A great choice for the season and definitely has an interesting history behind it that very much is worth sharing with others
thank you so much for reviewing. I loved the SNES Titel. the atmosphere, the different endings, the new horrors in each playthrough and the music. Will definetly look into the Rewind Game
Almost every reference and understanding I have of this game is how many people have talked about it being Phenomena in video game form
wow, I never played the game and never will but this exploration was interesting and captivating from start to finish. Well done 👏
I've been mildly obsessed with this game ever since I first heard about it, but since it never released here I figured I'd just have to do without or watch other gamers do playthroughs. I'm honestly pretty stoked I'm finally gonna get to play it!
"NOT... THE SCISSOR MAN!!!"
Everyone knows Scissors don't ACTUALLY exist!
JonTron still in our memories rent free
I DID NOT FACTOR IN THE WARP ABILITY!
No streaming but always appreciate an Exploring video 🤘🔥🔥🔥
I LOVE Phenomena!
Good Bad Games is back! ❤
I saw a similar video on Dungeon Chill channel but I was really glad to see more lore and history that wasn't touch on it. Great research!
I remember the hype around the PS1 version back in the day, and how it caused a bit of controversy out here where I live. But I actually had no idea it was such a big franchise! Thanks for the info! I'm going to check this out! =)
Clocktower is the absolute scariest game to me. I played it waaay too young and all the sound effects are burned into my brain and triggers my fight or flight (in this games case just my flight response)
Ordered the limited run physical copy so excited for it to arrive
Omg his gaming videos are coming back
Cant wait for my physical copy to arrive ❤
People, buy this game! Even though it's just a port, it may raise awareness for further official remakes.
This video was a nice surprise. Thank you.
Awesome video Cecil
Excellent, great work as always
I really do miss your videos that's more gaming related, clock tower was some of the coolest thing ever I never got to play XD
Your disaster report video is till Goated tier man
Clock Tower was such a creepy, underrated classic in the states.
I'm definitely getting this.
great video, had no idea about this rerelease!
This was great! Had no idea this was coming out. Nice :) Happy Halloween everyone!
I LOVE the first two Clock Tower games. I’m glad to know that Rewind comes out tomorrow, because the official website still says “Fall 2024”. Thanks for the heads up. 👍

You should really do a video on Phenomena, the movie that inspired Clock Tower.
This video is a great companion to the JonTron Clocktower video
Love the movie Phenomena, definitely gonna check out this game.

Deep Fear or Policenauts? Yes, yes please!
Thanks for the video, I did not know there was a clock tower remaster on the way.
A video game Exploring let's goooo
How about a video on "Chuck Norris Superkicks"? It's the greatest video game ever made. And don't forget to do a on Chuck Norris's movie "Invasion USA" the greatest christmas movie ever made. 🧔
7:20 now THIS is a game that deserves its own video! Mizurna Falls is soooo ahead of its time... Fellow watchers - look it up. You won't be disappointed! It's like Twin Peaks crossed with GTA3 on Playstation 1!

But all the Clock Tower games are still set in the same shared universe. All but one game are connected by a Scissor Man copycat killer.
Oh, shit, wake up babes, new GoodBad Games just dropped. I love when you do these.
I'd love an exploring episode for the Terrifier series
Now I see where Lazy Masquerade found that clip!
I remember picking up the us clock tower "1" and enjoying the game but being utterly confused by the sense a lot of plot was missing. Didn't know until years later it was a sequel.

Moar!!!!!
GoodBadJoysticks!
I really would love a remake/outside japan release of "The fear"...❤
I've always wanted to play this game. I have it pre-ordered at 'Limited Run'. I'm just waiting for my copy to come in!
How Jennifer Connelly's agent ever sued the developers over her likeness is something i would love to know more about
7:46 the guard looks like Mike Stoklasa. And the scissors look like the bone scissors from *Exorcist III*
Can you think anything more appropriate than it having weird numbering across different countries.
The La Casa series is one of the best for that. Troll as well.
12:58 Re7 and 8 are definitely spiritual sequels to Haunting Ground.
Bobby being the cousin of Edward.
I’ve not play Clock Tower. But have always been aware, and fond of it. It has such a simple, cool idea! Maybe it was simply ahead of its time to have the global success it deserved?! Truly it was unappreciated! But that being said. Time is a strange thing! 🤔. I wanted to add the video game WIERD DREAMS into this arena. It also has survival horror elements in it too. But perhaps it is too arcade in nature. To be classed as TRUE “Survival Horror!” 🤔
Kei Man Rider BLACK 🤣 I know I should not nitpick, but I love Kamen Rider BLACK, but it's pronounced KAH-men, not Kei-men. Otherwise, love your show and what you do, keep up the good work.
This game franchise is between my most wanted on my videogame bucket list. Besides, is a great homage to classic Giallo films, but it is playable.

Coincidentally, Clock Tower 3 was my introduction to Kinji Fukasaku.

For some reason the Japanese loved Jennifer Connelly and Phoebe Cates in the 80s...
To be fair, they both are quite lovely
@@n.s.latwal9172 In the case of Phoebe Cates I can understand her aesthetic appeal because she's part Asian, but Jennifer Connelly I don't completely understand besides her being generally attractive. There might be some kind of cultural explanation I can't understand.
