Clock Tower is a survival horror video game series created by Human Entertainment and continued by Sunsoft. The series plays like a horror film and unlike other survival horrors, the Clock Tower series does not focus on shooting creatures or using violence, but rather using your surroundings to hide and escape while solving puzzles and following the twisting storyline. The main character is usually quite helpless compared to the villains, so the main emotional connection to the game is the fear of being captured or discovered. Ever since Clock Tower 3 was released in 2003, rumors have been circulating that the company Nude Maker, aka Human Entertainment is working on another installment; however, this was later claimed to just be a rumor.

There are currently four games in the series. The first two games are directly connected by use of common main characters and villains; the latter two titles do not share common characters.

[edit] Ownership

After Human Entertainment folded in 1999, the Clock Tower series was sold to Capcom. Clock Tower 3 was created by Sunsoft and published by Capcom. Not only was this part of the series created by a different company, it also offered 3D movement for the first time within the series. So far, Capcom has not announced another game.
