The powers of controlling moths in Broken Porcelain is a direct reference to Dario Argento's Phenomena (my favourite movie of his), which of course was a giant influence of the very first Clock Tower game, to the point I consider it an unofficial adaptation of Phenomena. It's good the nods to this film have carried over the entire séries, up to Remothered.
Nice! Definitely need to check it out then. I was aware of what influenced the Remothered series but never thought to look into what influenced the influences that could have bled through to these games. 🤔
@@naysgameopinions Dario Argento is one of my favourite horror director ever and Clock Tower being initially an hommage to his work (mostly Phenomena but with references to Suspiria as well) is what got me into this series. I would definitely recommand to check it out indeed, and on the giallo genre in général (from Mario Bava, Dario Argento, Lucie Fulci, etc). I like to consider the Clock Tower (Haunting Ground included) and Remothered series as the video game legacy of this genre.
@shibitoobscura3348 oooooh! I've definitely seen Phenomena before. Going to go diving into some movies now. Thanks for the recommendation. And Haunting Ground is one of my favorites!
@@naysgameopinions Great! Yes, it's one of my favourite too (I still have a soft spot for Rule of Rose, my all-time favourite PS2 horror game, but Haunting Ground was a blast, and a major improvement from Clock Tower 3)
