| Clock Tower (Video Game) | comment |
Modern horror games tend to consist of you, your gun, absurdly copious amounts of ammo, and a plague of zombies. Or ghosts. But the point is, you have a gun, or at the very least a crowbar or something.Human Entertainment'snote As of 2019, the IP belongs to Capcom, jointly with Sunsoft. Clock Tower Survival Horror series doesn't work like that.With the exception of a few sequences in the third and fourth games, your character is an utterly helpless girl going up against an unstoppable creature bent on killing you. In short, a Slasher Movie turned video game. If you want to live, you're going to have to keep your wits about you, and not do stupid things like play the piano noisily, or tempt fate by repeatedly returning to the scene of a Cat Scare. | |

Bloodless Carnage | |
| Clock Tower (Video Game) / int_135b9977 | comment |
Bloodless Carnage: The first game had little to no blood. The rest either averts or subverts it. | |

Multiple Endings | |
| Clock Tower (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: Every game except 3 has at least nine. To clarify: The first had 9, the second 10, and the third 13. The (currently) final game has only one. To clarify further, a lot of the endings are just different ways of the lead characters getting killed. It's especially egregious in the third game; most of those 13 endings just show Alyssa/Yu getting murdered in different ways by the Creepy Child. | |

| Clock Tower (Video Game) / int_1bf94a24 | comment |
The Movie: A movie is being made, though it's been through Development Hell and back, partly due to directors dropping out of the project and one even being found dead in a hotel room. The most recent news is that it's based on The Struggle Within. | |

| Clock Tower (Video Game) / int_1e42a412 | comment |
Cower Power: Your only defense in the game is hiding, or attacking with mundane objects, and even that can fail if used twice. Confronting your stakers may slow them down, but only for a few seconds. The chase is still on until you find a new hiding spot. | |

Sanity Meter: The first game had a panic meter, in the form of Jennifer's portrait. It didn't do much except make her more likely to be killed by traps, cause her to trip more often, and flash when you should be mashing the panic button, low enough Panic makes it impossible to survive when caught by Scissorman. | |

Danger Takes a Backseat: One of the endings in the first game. It takes some effort to see it, but it can be considered the "worst ending" given what you have to do to earn it (namely, getting the keys to the car in the barn and driving off, leaving your friends behind to save your own ass). | |

Unbuilt Trope | |
| Clock Tower (Video Game) / int_f0e85546 | comment |
Unbuilt Trope: The first game is one of the first survival horror games ever created, and yet it gives the player even less to work with than most of those genre games do. The enemies Jennifer encounters are pretty much impossible to stop unless Jennifer is in very specific circumstances. And even then, most of that consists of finishing something that someone else already set up. No weapons, no magic, no special powers, nothing. The most you can hope for is the chance to run and hide. And yet, in spite of virtually creating survival horror as a genre, Clock Tower reads like a deconstruction of the genre it created simply because of how much the player character's helplessness is made explicitly clear. | |
