SCAN: Clock Tower 2 Game Information Blurb SOURCE: PlayStation Official Catalog 1994-1996 Based on the lighting not being blue for the Library scene with Scissorman, these screenshots may come from an earlier version of the game #クロックタワー2 #clocktower2 #horror #playstation

Fun fact, did you know that there's more than one render for this perspective shot of Alyssa with the Dark Gentleman? We compared this render to an identical one found on the back of the US manual and found them to be different in lighting.

Team C.U.T.S. 🔜 CT2 - 30th Fan Celebration - @thefirstfear.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Advertisements for Clock Tower 3 in magazines are hard to come by. This rare look at Alyssa's eye-zoom render appears to mirror a similar advertisement position for promotion of Clock Tower 2, by Human (pictured) It's unknown if this was intentional, or a coincidence.

This interview offered a neat little insight to the process of voice recording. Rumiko mentioning recording her lines in a backyard is interesting considering that other areas of Clock Tower 2's development may have been done in similar instances, like here with mo-cap (note the lawn chair.)

Rumiko Varnes is a bilingual voiceover talent who has done more than thousands of gigs, from Video Games to Anime, to song, to documentaries, to airport terminals and the list goes on. She voiced Jennifer Simpson in CT2 & Miku Hinasaki in the English dub of the first Fatal Frame (Zero).

First impressions are often the biggest ones! For those who attended E3 1997, did you come in contact with Scissorman? If so, please reply here! We'd love to hear from those that survived to tell a tale!

Yes! A Scissorman was present in promotion of Clock Tower for ASCII during E3 1997! Those scissors must've stunned in-person!

Human would more often use these illustrations of Jennifer & Helen for promotional media of Clock Tower 2, as the outfits they wear here match what they wear in their respecitve third scenarios at the Barrows Castle. Both outfit variation illustrations were done by Nanae Masaki.

120

Team C.U.T.S. 🔜 CT2 - 30th Fan Celebration - @thefirstfear.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

These outfit illustrations have appeared in quite a few pieces of promotional media for Clock Tower 2, like the Drama CD, the official Guidebook, Magazine Coverage, and even in overseas publication when it was released as "Clock Tower" for the PlayStation.

The secret is also mentioned in the PS1 BIOS for the original JPN release. Checking the system file for the game reveals this message: "Clock Tower 2 System - What happens if you press Start on the 2nd controller while on the title screen?" Image & Translation: @waddlebih.bsky.social
