Critic Reviews for Clock Tower: Rewind
Clock Tower: Rewind is an odd game that we feel comfortable recommending to survival horror enthusiasts who wish to experience absolutely everything the genre has to offer. Its visuals and gameplay are undeniably archaic, but there's nevertheless something quaint about its combat-free, point-and-click mechanics. The short experience is elevated greatly by the added extras included for this new release, and we'd fully recommend perusing all of it to help give context and aid appreciation of this pre-RE horror game. Not a must-play re-release, then, but one we would urge horror fans to experience at least once.
Clock Tower: Rewind faithfully recreates the original title... perhaps too faithfully, but that does not mean that we are not facing a fundamental piece to understand current survival horror.

A loving tribute to one of the grandaddies of survival horror and while the game feels random and abstruse compared to modern titles it's still entertaining and surprisingly scary.
The purposes of Clock Tower Rewind are clear: to allow anyone to experience one of the most significant horror adventures of its era and to offer bonus content that is as interesting as it is valuable from a historical point of view. Although it is an experience of its time, Clock Tower proves to still be able to exert a certain charm, thanks also to its atmospheres.

Clock Tower: Rewind provides an effectively creepy tale, especially if you're a fan of 16-bit adventure gaming, throwback puzzle solving, or…David Argento? This "rewind," however, would need to be more of a "remake" to appeal to most modern gamers.
Clock Tower Rewind brings the cult classic horror game to western shores for the first time with some added convenience features and bonuses to boot. However, the game's intrinsic point and click adventure game DNA feels outdated and flawed. If you don't mind using a guide to help in your pixel hunt and solve archaic solutions, this remaster of one of the most influential horror games of the 90s comes recommended.
A creepy curio that survival horror fans should give some time to.
Considering how long this was in development and how little there is to show for it, I can’t help but feel this was a compromised release. If all that you want is Clock Tower in English on current platforms, then that is what you’ll get with Rewind. The base game is still a palm-sweating and butt-clenching horror game, but know that it has all of its warts intact and not enough options to tweak your experience and that it comes with some intensely lame extras.
