I thought it sucked, I only enjoyed the absolutely batshit insane cutscenes

>>9763025
Probably one of the worst games i've ever played, and this game is still not as bad as Clock Tower 2 or Haunting Ground (Clock Tower 4).

I can also tell you're from reddit because of this spacing you're using, like this.

Atleast this game had a cute unlockable cowgirl costume for the Gal.

my favorite magical girl game

>>9763040
your opinion might have been worth something but you admitted you hated haunting ground so you clearly just don't like survival horror games

>>9763030
>>9763040
YOU MAKE ME SICK

>>9763025
How do the Clock Tower games compare to Haunting Ground? If I liked HG would I like CT?
Also is there any incest?

>>9763153
yeah, it's basically the same game although you do get a weapon but it's a magic weapon so you only get to use it after the bad guys have chased you around for an hour to charge it up, but boy is it satisfying to call a fucking angel meteor strike down on those fucking assholes when you couldn't fight back for so long.

and yes there's incest I don't know how you managed to guess.

>>9763040
You have shit taste. How can you hate on Haunting Ground? The game is amazing. I love Hewie so much.

>>9763158
Nice, thanks. Haunting Ground had incest themes so that's how I guessed. Seems really common in survival horror in general.

>>9763153
Clock Tower 3 is like Haunting Ground but crap the other Clock Tower games are point and click games

ALYSSHAAA

I can't take this game seriously. My headcannon is that Capcom bought the franchise only to kill it on purpose with this game in order to destroy series competing with Resident Evil.

>>9763049
I mean Haunting Ground isnt as good as Kuon, Fatal Frame, Silent Hill, Resident Evil, or Rule of Rose, so why would i bother? I do like Survival Horror games, sorry i dont LOVE every mediocre game of the genre on the ps2.

>Haunting Ground
retarded coomer game
>Clock Tower 3
also retarded, but at least it's retarded in a funny way

>>9763025
Is this the game where the heroine transforms into sailor moon and starts shooting magical arrows?

>>9763492
Making me want to play this game.

>>9763275
Haunting Ground is definitely better than Rule of Rose.

>Ah, the Red Rose Princess was Secretly Me all along!
>And I was secretly someone else!

get fucked, Rule of Rose, lmao. Clock Tower 3 did something no Survival Horror ever did before. It had a plot that sort of made sense!

>>9763918
I c what you did there.

>>9763854
I cannot believe that people who are pushing Rule of Rose lately have played it.

>>9763247
as if it were ever any serious competition
capcom bought this to lovingly give the series a second chance at life after the original dev shut down. they did their best and its honestly pretty good aside from taking way too many liberties with the supernatural, even for the series.

>You have shit taste. How can you hate on Haunting Ground? The game is amazing.
it's a fucking boring slog

>>9763025
it's really fun, probably the most fun game in the franchise. SledgeHammer & Corroder > the rest. The Magical Girl aspect may piss some people off, but it suprisingly doesn't break the tone of the game. And it provides some catharsis after the tension chase/solving portions, which make the experience of the game worth.
They probably spent the entire budget of the game on the motion capture, I would've enjoyed a bit more content. But fuck that final boss fight.

Final Cutscene was 10/10 with it's weird light filter

>>9763030
i can only remember the scene where her boyfriend shows up, and theyre scrambling around the place like spider monkeys. 10/10 cut scene that will live in my head rent free

>>9763918
we have to go deeper

>>9763854
havent played them myself, but ive watched lets plays for both
haunting ground definitely is the smoother game, but the story for rule of rose left a much bigger impact on me, especially the end
loved it so much i nerded out and drew this big pic for it. haunting ground didnt inspire me like that

holy fuck, its so bizarre but so funny
thanks for sharing

>>9764627
LEL
i can see what theyre going for but its way too exaggerated

>>9764634
You probably would have liked the scene when the villains killed Dennis, it was the most unexpected thing I'd ever seen.

https://youtu.be/4RQsHML6wDY

I couldn't believe it when they flipped the stone slab over and he was fine

>>9763247
>>9764308
I completely forgot Capcom owns the rights to the series now. Right now a remake/reboot would be ideal. The first game's story and art design are top notch.

>>9764627
Game is worth playing just for these cutscenes they're hilarious and the funny bong accents

>>9764645
>i can see what they’re going for
Lmao really? Because, hilarious as they are, I have absolutely no clue what they could have implied with those absurd flailing movements.

>>9765001
im with >>9764645 but i guess they just feared if they didn't make it super exaggerated then it could come across as too boring/slow for a cutscene, and if you're already spending 90% of the budget on it then you might as well go all in

>>9764545
Haunting Ground is very popular with women and troons cause of it's rapey themes. they love that shit. And Rule of Rose has this female bullying theme to it. were you bullied as a kid anon?

>>9765509
haha, yeah i was bullied horribly desu

>>9763025
Fuck this game.
Play Clock Tower (PSX) and then play Clock Tower: The First Fear (SFC). Only play Clock Tower: Struggle Within if you hate yourself.

>>9765597
then that is why it resonated so much for you

>>9765620
Why would you play Clock Tower (PSX) before First Fear? It's literally a direct sequel

>>9765627
I played them in that order and I think PSX is a much better game experience. I worry that SFC would bore people.
But I don't disagree that they're best played in the order you suggest.
I love them both so much. It burns me that Struggle within and 3 are both completely divorced from the story of the first two and Night Cry was no better.

>>9765631
>I worry that SFC would bore people.
It's like an hour long and not even particularly vague like most point and click games of that gen. Even then I think the atmosphere and beautiful sprite work should be enough to carry it

>>9765621
the bullying is one thing, but i think the themes of loneliness resonated more
>jennifer is isolated because of the bullies, her only form of companionship is brown
>wendy is isolated due to her being the queen of the society, her only companion is jennifer
>gregory is isolated due to the death of his son, he finds companionship in jennifer and eventually wendy
these all lead to tragedy, and the tragedy combined with the bittersweet but cathartic ending felt more earned than fiona killing an immortal alchemist
killing alchemists is fun, but its just not as cathartic

>>9763547
it's the big twist. it's a shame you just got spoiled on it.

>>9764026
I liked Rule of Rose, didn't really have that much trouble with the gameplay. I expected far worse considering how much shit I'd heard. I do remember it being a nightmare in terms of missable items,so I just mainlined it

>>9764308
>Haunting Ground is definitely better than Kuon, Fatal Frame and Rule of Rose.
lol no

>>9765509
You're making assumptions. Maybe they just like it because DogXGirl and FatherXDaughter.

>>9766226
>>9764308
It's bestter than Rule of Rose but only that

>>9764308
there something about kuon, like how the mouths never open or the way the characters eyes just kind of goggle around aimlessly, that makes it unintentionally funny

>>9763492
Yeah, and the main villain is a Dick

>>9766745
No and I shouldn't have to explain to you what a lame and toothless enemy a ghost is. Grow up.

>>9763025
The mocap was hilarious, there's a bunch of behind-the-scenes footage of the motion capture scenes on YT but they're in JP except for this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3c9FWG5dQWM

>>9765657
Did you try the recently updated Deluxe 2.0 hack?
The madlad did it again and improved the chase mechanics along with other stuff from the PSX version.

I myself am making a CT-inspired game (pic related). I don't know how long before it's done, though.
The first CT game truly had a great atmosphere, it's a shame there weren't more games with a similar aesthetic.

>>9769332
i'm dumb, forgot pic

>>9769336
This looks fucking incredible.
How far along are you?
What are you using to create it?
Got a website or anything?
CT FF and CT (PSX) are my top two favorite games. I will watch for this.

>>9763918
kek. This gets funnier every time I look at it.

>>9770248
Currently, I'm cranking out the assets for the first half of the story and putting them ingame.
The story is practically finalized, I'm just unsure about a few details on the second half, but I need to see it in motion to get a better feel of it.
I spent the last three years cutting content, fixing the story/lore, refactoring and implementing new features.

Though this project has been in the back-burner for a decade, I think my skills are finally up on the task.
Once the game is playable from start to finish in all variations, I'll focus on adding the finishing touches, dialogues, translations, maybe voice acting, marketing, etc.

I'm using Adventure Game Studio. I'm one of the mantainers so I'm using this chance to implement and test new features in my experimental branch.

The game is Wretcher.
I have a twitter I should update more often, and a couple of severely outdated sites I plan to update.
Current game is several magnitudes better than old demo.

>>9770489
I'm floored. Are you a developer of some sort IRL?
I'll be watching this.
Thanks in advance.

>>9764627
lol it's the mild-mannered dialogue and British accent that makes the zany slapstick animation seem so much weirder.

>>9770489
Keep us posted, anon. Always happy to support a fellow 4chinner.

>>9763025
Played this back during Halloween and it was fun, but fuck that final boss, what a tedious pain in the dick
