...which is not necessarily a good thing in this case. I'm referring to what in my opinion is the biggest flaw of the game: backtracking. In the previous Clock Tower, getting around levels and finding items was not difficult. But here...it is absolutely horrifying. You have to run back and forth to make events happen and collect items (made worse due to the fact that certain times require either Bates or Alyssa)...which becomes annoying to the point you feel like taking that giant blade and stabbing the TV with it. Don't even get me started on how awfully irritating stage three was...Then there are the enemies and the plot. "Zombies" and a "virus" created by a pharmaceutical company...can anyone say "cheap, Resident Evil cash-in?" Sure there are some slight differences between this and the RE game, but making it similar in storyline was just a bad idea.
So what is good about this game? The music definitely adds a creepy feel to the game, and the click-and-point controls aren't shabby (though adding the gun-shooting parts was not a wise decision). The graphics, for some odd reason, make the game more scary, even though they aren't spectacular for a game of its time. If you are a Clock Tower fan and want to give this a try, go ahead. But just be forewarned, that you'll probably be disappointed.
