Favorite Horror Games by Console - SNES: Clock Tower

 

I had to cheat a little to play this one, since it was never released on the SNES over here. I believe this was the only survival horror game released on the Super Nintendo (at least, it is according to the Super Nintendo Anthology). It was, however, released in Japan in 1995. You play as Jennifer, an orphan who is adopted by the Barrows family. Throughout the game, you're stalked by a killer known as Scissorman (if you ask me though, the bird is the most dangerous thing in this game, it was the first thing to kill me). Clock Tower's controls don't feel great. This is essentially a point and click game that requires you to run and hide from enemies so it should be a little easier to, you know, point and click. There are multiple endings, giving the game some replayability. Listen...Clock Tower is on this list because it's the only actual horror game on the SNES, but if I'm being really honest, the first person sections in Jurassic Park are 500 times scarier.
