I remember seeing an ad for this in a game magazine when I was a kid. I was so scared of it I threw the magazine under a couch and it stayed there for a few years.
Since then I've played quite a few survival horror games and enjoyed them, but I'm not sure if I ever want to play this one.
Despite all the dumb stuff in there (and there is a lot of dumb stuff), it still manages to be a genuinely harrowing experience.
I think games where you are pretty helpless except for your super running and hiding abilities tend to have that quality to me.

I got my I-Phone last night, and when I typed something, it sounded like scissors clipping, and there were people walking outside my door, I heard the foot steps, and I got freaked out.
Edit: Also, I thought the key to better endings was to stay in the house longer.

You would be right.
I still have to find the secret library and Jennifers dads corpse. The empty room is where his corpse is, though I forget how to trigger that, but that's what walkthroughs are for. Also seeing Lotte die this way dooms Jennifer to that ending I'm pretty sure.
so I just read through the 3 endings posted and have to say I would be creeped the hell out playing this, although bobby is a fairly lame villain, I wouldn't think it would be too hard to throw him out the window or something.

I feel kinda bad for Lotte, all doomed to die no matter what.
Quick start again, Jennifer finds Laura in the tub dead.
Let's hide in the Master Bedroom this time.
Under the bed, the most cliched place to hide!
Jennifer am SMRT.
Bobby charges in
And the GOD DAMN PARROT TATTLES ON US. (this happens if you don't trap it in the sheet, which I'll show later)
Bobby is not amused with our antics.
And he somehow got in front of us, oh well knock him on his butt.
Hide in the insecticide room.
Get the key out of the birds nest
I just said that.
Spray the fridge out again
Watch Ann take a dive into the pool from the second story.
There's now a lantern in the study.
I'm pretty sure the lantern and copper key are red herring items though.
I give her dive a 4.
Throw down with the french doll again.
The doors won't open while the doll is flying around, and some times after too.
This time, a tile falls out of the ceiling. This means we'll get the staff in here.
Bobby pops in to say hello.
A clue on what to do with it later I'm sure.
Which looks to be big enough to use as a weapon, but oh well.
Bobby will stay up there unless you play the piano.
Which I do. :rotate:
Aww they're playing a duet.
Bobby starts playing off key.
jennifer is not amused.
Enough of Bobbys antics, Jennifer decides to run away in a huff. And lose him in the insecticide room again.
Use the lantern on the wall.
A useless key.
The only way to get the copper key is to get the lantern, the only way to get the lantern is to see Ann/Laura plummet out the window. If I'm remembering right you don't need either of them at all.
Go to the phone room and hope Mary isn't there.
Grab the robe
and this key on the table
In the same foyer, the key unlocks the other locked room. The secret library.
Not much in here unless you are going for the S ending or have the staff.
If you're going the s ending you need to check everything in here.
If you have the staff and don't want the s ending just check the mural.
Woo vandalism time!
Heave!
Ho!
Now we can check out most of the mural
It's the room where we used the idol last time.
"is filthy!"
Kind of, a little bit.
Use the staff on the vase.
And the floor will open up again
Go past the dog again and this time all the way to the end of the room. Poor Lotte
Keep shouting Jen!
Jennifer gives up after yelling at her and not checking for any other signs of life.
Lotte lets out a moan (and the text box for that disappears way too fast) and Jen gets all excited Lotte's still kind of alive.
"chocolate..."
Lotte hears ya Jen!
"Will not be relevant this play through!"
Then Lotte dies, again.
Jennifer makes sure, the only way she knows how.
Aww
Jennifer's all alone again.
Run from Dan again
Burn baby burn! haha.
This time we get to use the elevator.
Pick the third floor.
Uhoh...
Bobby falls from the roof.
And that's that ending. But wait, what if we pick the second floor!
Pick floor two this time.
Get off the elevator.
Oh hello, Mary! (Remember, this play through Jen doesn't know she's evil.)
Jennifer is dumbfounded.
But excited to see Ms. Mary.
Don't listen it's a trick!
Run Jennifer!
Oh you stupid, trusting girl...
This seems like the most inefficient way to stab someone withs a chefs knife.
Jennifer bleeds out on the floor. Shocked at Marys betrayal.
Progress versus insta-death seems pretty random. I'm glad I have you to play this for me to save me the frustration.
Not so much random as it is event dependent. If you don't know what to do in game it can seem random.
The only thing that's random is Bobbys appearance in certain rooms. While taking shots for this I leaped across the plank upstairs and he spawned in the box in the rope room. This creates an no-win situation.

Fuck this game, and to some extent, goose you. All in light hearted nature but I feel like I keep hearing scissors. I'm just happy you don't do video LP's.
To get ending A, do you have to get the staff and do everything else?
Ending A is way different than I remember on how to get it.
Don't go to the secret prison and find her dad, do get caught by Mary in the phone room. See only one of the other girls die, don't let the crows out (I think).

I wonder if they give a good reason to seeing all these events take place. I hope ending A or S ends with burning that place down. Or, a sick twist, open it up as an orphanage or she makes it her own and continues the messed up cycle of evil children.

The best (and canon, I think) ending is B, where Mary gets fried. S and A are kind of silly.
Speaking of, I'll have them and a little "environmental deaths" set up shortly.
Remember, this was originally a SNES game. If such an ending were to occur it'd be just text anyway.
Good job on this one. I don't know whether to be proud or sad that I knew exactly what you needed to do to get Ending A.
You should do the playstation one if you got it. Is quite hard to find these days though.
Or wait for the PC remake as well so you can have a menage a 3s of Clock Towers. :winky:
I hope that remake comes out, it does look pretty good. Got any info on it? All I found was the wiki, and the official site doesn't really have anything on it.

She gets a wee bit smarter in the playstation game, but a bunch of the other characters get affected with the dumb.

He's like a Slinky™!
He falls down stairs, kills alone or in pairs
And makes a snippity sound
A scream, a scream, a marvelous thing!
Everyone knows it's Bobby!
It's Bobby, it's Bobby!
Those scissors aren't just a toy
It's Bobby, it's Bobby!
He'll murder the girls and the boys!
Who climbs up stairs, cellulite everywhere?
Who's big and heavy and round?
A burning thing, lit with kerosene?
Everyone knows it's Danny!
It's Danny! It's Danny!
Get that thing on a diet of soy
It's Danny! It's Danny!
And off of the Chips Ahoy!
oh my
Yeah I kinda lied.

And gives her best troll face.

Set 6- An actual clock tower
Grab the west wing key
See Lauras death in the bathroom.
And Ann fly out the window
Oh look a pretty bathroom.
Stupid cat. :?
Put the plank across the gap and head to the plastered up room.
God damn it Bobby. I went and hid in the insecticide room again, seems to be the best one to hide in.
Come back and smash the wall
If you rush here asap, you find this corpse and notes.
Observe the notes.
Well, Chart, thanks Jen.
!
Who would that be?
Jennifer thinks
Shocking! Let's read the other notes.
Another chart.
The Barrows Bros. (Bobby and Dan.)
A bag!
So who's the mystery corpse?
Can you guess who that is?
Jennifer knows!
That's right, it's her father!
"It"? Kinda rude Jennifer.
Let's read it, shall we?
Eww! She's touching it!
The note scrolls rather slowly, but I got it all.
I know they're ugly but that seems a bit harsh there doc.
Demons? That's way harsh.
Oh they ate your hand, impressive feat for babies with no teeth. I see why you called them demons too doc.
He must have decided to write this note after being in there a looooonnng time for the air to be running out.
Another hit for the ceremony room.
The note ends with him scrawling Jens name, comfirming he's her dad, I guess?
Jen is understandably upset.
Well let's go find the idol/staff.
Which will it be, I wonder!
Idol it is then.
Go read the slip in the book. You have to.
Go grab the ugly thing.
Go find Lotte in the cave.
Go find Dans curtain.
Set him on fire, again.
Go to the second floor. Again.
Jennifer knows something is up this time.
"You're insane, and evil!"
"Join me!"
Surviving like that!
I don't know, I don't think Jennifer meant it.
Fight off Mary.
How a 13 year old girl fights off a possessed woman is beyond me.
But Jennifer does it, and flees.
"We're getting hot wings tonight!"
"A plate of mild ones!"
I still say it wasn't Jens fault.
Head through the archway.
Mary hot on our heels, we head outside.
Hurry Jen, she's closing in on you!
Climb up, with Mary right behind us.
Mary latches onto Jennifer as lightning flashes in the background. Mash the panic button or get thrown off.
Kick Mary off, and she plummets to her death.
Bye, crazy lady!
Jennifer climbs inside the clock tower to get out of the rain.
Bobby somehow hot on our heels.
Jen pulls the switches.
This part is automated, no need to click on anything.
The ringing from the clock tower is too much, and Jennifer falls to her knees.
The sound is too much for Bobby too, he throws his scissors aside and tries to drown out the sound.
He breaks through the railing
And falls into the gears, being ground alive by the turning gears and cogs.
Jennifer catches her breath.
And heads back outside.
Jennifer looks out into the rain. Can't be good for her, probably catch a cold.
Oh never mind the storm is clearing up.
And that is ending C. But wait, what if we head to the 3rd floor again?
The elevator makes it, but Bobby is right behind us.
Jennifer climbs up.
We're back in the clock tower.
Jennifer pulls the switches again. Bobby falls to his death, again.
"DON'T LIKE HOTWINGS?!"
Mary charges out of the shadows, furious with us.
She latches on to Jennifer.
Another panic event starts, and we have to shake off Mary.
We shake her off, and she backs into the switch board, frying herself.
Look at that old bat fry!
And she's Mary BBQ.
Jennifer steps out onto the clock tower again.
And that's ending B.

Being chased around with not much of a way to defend yourself is a bit too intense for my liking.
Ending A is way different than I remember on how to get it.
Don't go to the secret prison and find her dad, do get caught by Mary in the phone room. See only one of the other girls die, don't let the crows out (I think).

Set 7- The Finale
Start by going to the master bedroom.
Let the parrot out, he flies around screaming "I'll kill you!" He will too, if you don't suffocate the damn thing with this sheet.
Haha, dumb ass bird.
Grab the perfume
Damn, I hate getting the key out the birds nest.
See Laura die.
Hide under the bed. With the parrot suffocated Bobby doesn't think to look under the beds.
And off he goes, oblivious lil shit.
There's a robe in the box here. But Jennifer can't get over the box.
So push that crate!
"All that's in here is a gstring and tassles!"
Grab the robe and insecticide.
Get the key out of the nest.
Grab the ham! You need it for ending A. You also need to check the calender!
Spray the fridge out and grab the phone room key.
Go meet Mary in the phone room.
Oh Jen, you stupid girl. Give Barrows his ham.
Lotte comes and frees you.
Clonk! Haha.
Move, you stupid box!
You do indeed need to free the crows and rats.
Check the music room, it doesn't matter which you get but the statue is canon since it shows up in the Playstation game.
Stupid Bobby, making me take longer than I need to!
Go grab the ugly idol.
Head back to the phone room, you need to check the secret library.
Check everything in here. Everything!
The mural!
The notes on the desk!
Silly saying still.
Clock tower! You'll get ground up in gears! Clock tower, clock toweerrrrr!
The chemicals too, check those out.
Throw down with the doll again.
Check everything in here.
Down we go!
Run from Dan, the super mutant baby.
Floor 3 please.
Bobby is hot on our heels!
Bobby takes a dive again.
But this time, Ann comes from outside to greet us!
D'aww
Uhoh...
Can prevent forest fires?
Have at thee! Mary charges.
And throws Ann into the gears with enough force to make Zangief go "DAYAM!"
She draws her chefs knife again and gives chase.
Jennifer isn't going down without a fight though.
Your troll face can't save you this time Mary!
Things aren't looking good for Jennifer...
Here come the crows!
They start pecking at Mary, and Jen is dumbfounded.
Mary struggles against a murder of crows.
and backs off the balcony like an idiot.
The crows disappear, and Jennifer still appears confused as to what the hell just happened.
She gets a better look, to make sure Mary isn't moving any more and truly dead.
She heads back outside.
And that's ending A. But wait, what about Ending S?
Same as A, with one major change.
It doesn't matter who dies between Ann/Laura, I picked Ann this time so Laura would be in the ending.
Go here first and observe everything.
Same as always, and make sure to check the calender!
And meet Mary in the phone room.
"Let me stab your face!"
Again check every thing in here.
Got the staff this time, so I knock over the bookshelf.
Check everything here too, just in case. And let the animals out of the cages.
Find Lotte in the cave.
Meet Dan and go to the third floor again.
The ending plays out about the same.
Bobby goes off and you can see Laura passed out on the floor too.
Bye Bobby!
You should probably check on Laura, Jennifer.
Before you can do that, Mary charges.
Look out Jennifer!
Fight her off, and the crows show up to finish her off.
Mary falls off, Jennifer for some stupid reason, tries to save her but is too late.
Jennifer wakes up Laura (or Ann) and they head outside.
And that is the S and final ending.
Hope you enjoyed reading this, I had fun doing this. One mini update on the way and this LP will be complete!
Bonus miniset! Glee!
Environmental deaths- They all look way better in motion, truth be told.
Bobby impales Jennifer with the scissors.
Sometimes he does a merry jig afterwards.
The lamest death would be Dans, who just closes in on you and the screen fades to black.
The doll will head butt you to death if it doesn't fly into the wall or you push it away.
This one is timed.
If you don't have the ham, or take too long to give it to Mr. Barrows, he leaps toward you, Jen screams and the screen fades to black.
The hand chokes you.
And then I guess force pushes Jennfiers windpipe into oblivion, or something.
The parrot just flies around screaming "I'll kill you!" and dive bombing Jennifer on occasion until she dies.

While the clock tower is going off he makes this weird sound, like the wind sound effect or something.

The killer in that movie used giant scissors as well.
Huge movie/game spoilers:
EDIT: It apparently took a fair bit of influence from some of Dario Argento's other films, too. Bad ass.
That explains a lot! Cheers for that.
