Clock Tower immerses players in the eerie Barrows family manor, where they must navigate the environment while being pursued by a murderous psychopath known as Scissorman. Playing as Jennifer Simpson, a teenage orphan, players use a point-and-click interface to explore the mansion, search for items, uncover secrets, and find ways to survive Scissorman's attacks. With no offensive abilities, Jennifer must rely on her wit and resourcefulness to escape with her life and achieve one of the game's multiple endings. The game is renowned for its tense atmosphere, chilling sound effects, detailed 2D animations, and randomized elements that enhance replayability, making it a groundbreaking title in the survival-horror genre.

The enhanced version of Clock Tower utilizes Limited Run Games' Carbon Engine, maintaining the authentic gameplay, graphics, and sound of the original while incorporating modern features and enhancements. These include a new vocal theme song performed by Mary McGlynn (known for her work in the Silent Hill series), a new animated opening, motion-comic cutscenes, a bonus art gallery, border artwork, save states, multiple language options, and more.

The key features of the enhanced version of Clock Tower include its first official translation and release in North America and Europe, allowing players to experience this survival-horror classic. Players will navigate the game by running, hiding, and using survival tactics to evade the psychotic Scissorman. The game features atmospheric 2D art, detailed animations, and haunting sound effects, creating an immersive experience. Multiple endings and randomized gameplay elements increase replayability and provide jump scares. The game also includes a new animated opening, motion-comic cutscenes, and a vocal theme song by Mary McGlynn. Additionally, players can enjoy an art gallery, save states, and other modern enhancements for an enhanced gaming experience.
