clock tower: rewind
grade: D
oh clock tower: rewind, u had some cute thoughts, and rng to shift the levels (which is kind of the bare minimum to not be a simple VN), but your conrol scheme is garbage, interaction failures are inscrutable, and the gameplay pacing is glacial. its a good job u made 9 endings, so at least u also appeal to the cbt-enthusiasts, and not just the nostalgia-drugged retrogamers.

give it a try if u get it for free, but its definitely not worth the $20 theyre asking for it.

Its fuggin good, and it features steam play co-op or whatever its called.
grade: A
my one complaint is that they included the achievements for the first DLC (but none of the other DLC's) in the achievement list for the base game. Im marking it completed anyway cuz im an adult and i can do that

Its an early access game, so this beaten might get retroactively unbeaten, but I got to REDACTED so ima count it.
grade: A+
i bought the first one on sale, but havent gotten around to playing it, so the only degree i can compare this to the original is from how the guy i co-op StS2 with goes on about it. But as its own thing i enjoyed it very much. Theres a lot of analogs to Monster Slayers, which I beat for my last update, a couple of which i thought MS implemented better, but many of the things that bugged me abt MS i like the STS2 analog better.

My overall rating is, its worth the money, even in its EA state, and if any of ya'll wanna co-op sometime hmu.
