Esse aqui é um daqueles que molda minha visão sobre como terror tem que ser escrito
This game is truly a work of art specially due to when it was released, although the controls play strangely at first and getting all the endings is repetitive at some times, so even being short, it feels a drag sometimes.
I never told that little perv to scissor me.
boy i can gush about this game for HOURS
Great art, atmosphere, and multiple endings and ways certain events can play out.
Point and click mechanic is a little annoying due to some objects only having one spot that it allows you to interact with them making it easy to miss things unless you know that you can interact with it.
It's fairly basic premise but they nailed the art and atmosphere of the location.

Weirdly, I've found myself playing a lot of point-and-click games lately; however, Clock Tower might just be one of the best yet.
Despite being an old and forgotten game, Clock Tower remains a strong contender for one of the best horror games of all time. All due thanks to its amazing atmosphere and minimal but iconic sound design.
The visuals also remains impressive, providing a detailed sprite work that looks artistically better than most modern 2D games today. The implementation of RNG also ensures that no playthrough is ever the same. And while the Argento inspiration is quite blatant, it all works to satisfy my itch for a single player slasher game. In fact, I think this is just one of the first and few singler player slasher game on the market, which makes the game all the more unique.
Although some aspect haven't aged as well as some parts of the game. The hallway map all look the same, making it very easy to get lost in. The RNG can also be a bit way too random, causing me to restart the entire game on my first run because it probably didn't expect me to use an optional item that early on in the story.
Sure, it may be the least scariest game on the list, but it surely is one of the most unique out there.
