Curator Notes

Clock Tower is Human Entertainment’s 1995 Super Famicom horror game: the orphan Jennifer flees the shears-wielding Scissorman through the Barrows mansion. Clock Tower: Rewind, by WayForward, is the game’s first official English release, with the original mode, an enhanced Rewind mode, a new animated introduction, and theme songs by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn and Emi Evans. It released digitally on October 29, 2024. Limited Run Games produced the Switch physical edition as Switch Limited Run #243; this copy carries the alternate cover sold as a convention exclusive at PAX West 2025. The filing joins the Clock Tower lineage already on the shelf.

Preservation Notes

Access Hardware: Nintendo Switch; compatible Nintendo Switch family hardware
Original Hardware: Nintendo Switch
Playback Compatibility: Nintendo Switch software is region-free. The retained game card is the primary access copy and runs on any Nintendo Switch console.
Preservation Concerns: Game cards are flash media; long-term charge retention, contact wear, and loss of the small card from its case are the principal risks. Any content delivered as an eShop download or update depends on Nintendo’s servers and is not preserved by the card alone.
Edition History: Original Super Famicom release in Japan in 1995. Clock Tower: Rewind released digitally on October 29, 2024 (October 31 in Japan). Limited Run Games issued the Switch physical edition (HAC-P-BG4FA) as Switch Limited Run #243 in standard and Collector’s editions, with a convention-exclusive cover variant in 2025.
Access Status: Limited Run Games’s physical edition was a limited production and now circulates through the secondary market. The digital Switch edition was issued separately on the Nintendo eShop.
