Project Scissors (new clock tower game!)

General Discussion
1

If you are into horror… chances are you have played the clock tower games. Director Hifumi Kouno who previously
made clock tower for the snes (aka ‘the first fear’) and clock tower 1 for the psx is now back with a new title which will serve
as a spiritual successor to clock tower. As a fan of all the clock tower games (maybe except for clock tower 3) this news makes me so happy
i wanna slam my face into the screen.

Hifumi Kouno will be the Director behind Project Scissors - his previous work includes Clock Tower: The First Fear and Clock Tower, which he directed for Human Cooperation in the 90s. Here’s Hifumi’s full comments on the project:

**When conceiving the idea for a new horror game, I focused on staying true to the essence of what I created in Clock Tower, which was the edge-of-the-seat suspense and fear of an unknown. I have been preparing for this game for over 5 years – and now the development is finally about to begin.

Over the last few years, I was joined by a wonderful group of creators with impressive resume, driven by the common passion to create something original outside the big commercial game franchises. This is my first foray into the indie scene, but the nature of the horror genre in its purest form is about overcoming obstacles such as limited budget and time with passion and talent. I’m willing to push myself to the limit, and I’m excited and ready for this
challenge.**

Next up is Masahiro Ito, most famously known for his creature and environmental design work in the Silent Hill series. Masahiro will be taking upon the same role in Project Scissors, designing creepy monsters for a video game! As you can imagine, I’m very excited about that.

Last but not least is film director Takashi Shimizu, known for the Ju-On films. Takashi will be Creative Producer behind the game, assisting with the game’s story and directing a live action trailer.

All of this talent sounds amazing, but what about the game itself? Well, the game is set to take place on a luxury cruise liner that becomes the scene of grizzly and unexplained murders. As evidence by Ito’s involvement, we can expect some supernatural monsters, no doubt. Project Scissors aims to be an authentic Japanese horror experience from indie studio Nude Maker, and it sounds like it may very well be just that with all of these cool people attached.

Project Scissors is planned for release on the PlayStation Vita, and iOS/Android devices.

Studio called Nude Maker, sounds very misogynistic, Polygon will give this game 3/10 if you are allowed to run with said scissors.

Oh thank fuck the original director is doing something with the Clock Tower series. I’ve been following the Remothered project for years now and the developer of that has been updating at the same pace as The Last Guardian.

I have not played any of the Clock Tower games, but remember shots of it from issues of Game Players, and always wanted to.

I need to pick them up.

Gone dammit! The snes and the original psx sequel scared the shit out of me back then. I hope I’ll have the guts to play this one.

Clock Tower 1 was a shining example of how awesome point and click adventure games are also a pretty damn scary game, especially at the time.

This game better have insta death once you’re caught and it should be hard to escape.

sorry for the late response…It’s not going to be a “clock tower” as that IP is still owned by capcom , but rather a spiritual successor.
So pretty much clock tower but with a new name (think megaman and mighty no 9).
Also i had never heard of the remothered project before :0

Clock Tower has always been an underrated horror game for me. I can’t wait to see how this turns out.
