Limited Run #560: Clock Tower Rewind Collector's Edition (PS4)

Scissorman is coming, and this time he brought friends. Limited Run #560: Clock Tower Rewind Collector's Edition for PlayStation 4 resurrects one of survival horror's most terrifying icons with a package that leans hard into the genre's gruesome charm. The reversible interior featuring classic key art on the physical copy is a thoughtful touch, but the real draw here is the collaboration with horror master Shintaro Kago, whose original art graces the 12" x 16" double-sided poster.

Kago's grotesque, surreal style is a perfect match for Clock Tower's unflinching approach to terror. The acrylic standees, Dan Barrows stressball, Ham Object enamel pin, and Demon Idol keychain round out a collection of extras that only make sense if you've played the game, which is exactly how collector's editions should work. The original soundtrack preserves a score that's been giving people nightmares since the Super Famicom days.

Clock Tower pioneered the helpless protagonist in horror gaming, the idea that you can't fight back, only run and hide. For PS4 horror collectors, this edition is a shrine to a franchise that influenced everything from Outlast to Alien: Isolation. Shintaro Kago's involvement alone makes this one to chase.
