Switch Limited Run #243: Clock Tower Rewind Collector's Edition

Some games were designed to make you uncomfortable, and this collector's edition leans all the way into that. Switch Limited Run #243: Clock Tower Rewind Collector's Edition for Nintendo Switch revives the point-and-click horror classic with a package that's equal parts gorgeous and unsettling. The reversible interior cover featuring classic key art is a nice touch, but the real conversation starter is the 12" x 16" double-sided poster with original art by horror master Shintaro Kago.

If you know Kago's work, you know this isn't your typical game poster. It's a collector's piece in its own right. The Dan Barrows stressball is a darkly hilarious inclusion.

Squeezing the series' most iconic antagonist between your fingers while you decompress from a long day has a certain therapeutic irony to it. The Demon Idol keychain and Ham Object enamel pin are deep cuts that reward fans who actually played the original, not just read about it. Acrylic standees and a sticker sheet round things out, and the original soundtrack on disc lets you fill your room with Kouji Niikura's tension-soaked compositions.

Clock Tower defined a genre before survival horror had a proper name, and this collector's edition treats it with the gravity it earned. Limited Run's numbered Switch releases continue to gain traction on the secondary market, making this one worth securing sooner rather than later.
