Clock Tower - JonTron

[Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] you [Music] it's October come on lay it on me I'm ready get out the Dracula's the Frankenstein's hands maybe scratch that last one yeah I don't think that's a thing don't forget about this is a man not the season well I didn't realize you were going to go ape [ __ ] stop clock tower it's a series best known for the game released on the PlayStation 1 but it actually had its start on the SNES which most people don't know because it was never released outside of Japan I've always wanted to try it out seeing as it is one of the earliest entries into the survival horror genre some would say this game pioneered survival horror but can an SNES game elicit the same kind of tear we associate with such titles as Resident Evil and Silent Hill somehow I doubt it [Music] o'clock towel that's not very scary Oh God raised in the granite orphanage Jennifer and her friend friend Z ooh typos already getting scary were wanted as adopted daughters yes I'd like to adopt the two of them like puppies from a kennel after all anything can be [ __ ] sold for the right it happened in September a bit of a missed opportunity if I'm saying so myself I mean the scary monsters one over oh that's the one from now on what kind of place will we be living in that's the fifth time you've asked yeah well maybe it'd be the last time if you're just [ __ ] told me don't worry it's a very nice place we're almost there see Oh majestic yeah you know all that's missing I think is just a big old sign saying definitely not haunted I think that'll be an amazing touch in Clocktower you play as Jennifer Simpson an orphan girl who has just been adopted by a mr. barrows the story picks up as you've just been brought to his secluded and creepy mansion in the woods I gotta go get mr. barrows everyone wait here do you think you can maybe give me an ETA on that man this game sure is off to a slow start oh no that can't be good a musical change like that can only mean one thing I gotta get out of here ain't gonna be the first down so you have much right now locked doors huh I don't know where to go it's all wonderful the lights went out okay well I guess I'll just try to go up these stairs even though it's gonna take my entire goddamn life okay yeah it's nothing up here oh look at that turn the lights back on it's almost like we got somewhere I have to say for this era of gaming there really was nothing with this kind of intense atmosphere most horror competitors at the time are just platformers or action games that had spooky themes nothing quite got to this level yeah what was it well I better hurry and see what just made that blood curdling scream oh no I was too late maybe I should I ran the game works on a courser system it's basically like a point-and-click adventure I eventually found out that if you DoubleTap she starts to run which is nice because otherwise I'd be walking everywhere like that as you walk around the mansion crazy events can happen at random which keeps the tension high whoa okay guess I'm glad I was walking this time honestly the lack of a direct input on your character helps add to the feeling of helplessness it's pretty cool ah yes there's nothing like a portrait of a skull with no eyes to really bring a home together this is actually a original Vincent van ghoul people don't come over anymore the game also brings itself to life by showing really detailed close-ups so the items you find like look at this broken picture of these two kids the artwork is fantastic so much terror is portrayed through this angle and lighting especially for 16-bit graphics it's genuinely creepy we'll just because I'm being haunted doesn't mean I can't be beautiful at least he had the decency to be delicate you know I'm saying like some ghosts nowadays too busy to float a little old lady across the street I'm sorry I I don't think I can get over this yet he spins her around and gently pushes her after he's done strangling her and she just daintily Falls what even well fine if you're not gonna be nice I'll just have myself a refreshing talk with the bird oh god no please you say something I kiss you I kiss you I'm near you I'll kill you not now chop I'm trying to figure this out Todd you miss me up dead from like addiction I'm getting a bit sick of these dead ends I just want the plot to progress already you know I'm having second thoughts about this adoption I think I'll give you guys a call oh my god I am outta here but then again that did look like a bit like Angus Young but then again his signature doesn't mean anything if I'm dead but you know I'm a huge ac/dc fan so I think I'm gonna check one more time just to make sure it wasn't him what is this person is this actually the main enemy of the game after all this time all this atmosphere and our nemesis turns out to be Jay Leno on a schoolboys body with a serious case of moldy prune face and what's he using as a weapon exactly that that that's hedge clippers we're not getting around this Jason had a machete Freddie had a curry pea claw hand scissor man he's got scissors that's it that's the end that's where it ends Edward Scissorhands this is Edward scissor man uh what do I do I better grab that shovel no wait get in the car and get out of here no even better I'll hide up here ain't no way his stubby legs are climbing up this ladder that's right see you later buddy I did not pack them in the warp ability all right let's try this again this time going straight for the car no messing around the upstairs okay bad idea I can see that now car made us steel let's go but the others [ __ ] as silly as he is after scissor man hits the scene this game becomes ten times as scary every room becomes a trap every object becomes a game of deadly trial and error he can appear literally anywhere at any time so you better be careful because game over is back to the beginning like it is with these old games that's gonna scarier than the monsters other random things can happen too okay well this is unfortunate now I got to play the rest of the game as Pig puns Pigpen for the people of peanuts picked up some ham this'll kill it's a swimming pool actually that's a window ah hole in the floor we meet again I guess I'll just put this simple wood plank over the top of it just a simple plank of wood who are you to judge with everything this game does right it still suffers from a lot of hiccups that old point-and-click adventures do for instance like when you think you figured out the solution to a puzzle but the game has decided that that is not the way the puzzle is gonna be solved which of course leads to you having to backtrack and put a piece of ham in your pocket or something just some obscure tiny object that you paid no mind to all the way on the other side of the map is the key to progressing wouldn't it be funny if someone were like hiding behind the drapes like it was a horror movie or something all right really there Susan what are you [ __ ] seven actually I think you are actually you are seven aren't you all right checks out okay well maybe I'll just see what's behind these drapes it couldn't be worse than that nightmare-inducing [ __ ] so can I start therapy now or should I wait for the nightmares to set in eventually you get to the top of the clock tower and find out the dance is Ehrman yeah yes by the way his name actually is Dan really hates the sound of tower bells in for some reason listen even if you don't like the sound of bells that was just a very poor route to take also this lady backs up the cliff because some birds were bothering her yeah that's the story folks remember that powerful scene from Star Wars where Emperor Palpatine backed off into the nebulous void because he's annoyed yousa Birds I still cry listen next time you're getting adopted I'm dead inside forever now man I mean that was so embarrassed believed it was real but it's all in the spirit of the holiday I mean it's good to sit back and remember that sisters don't actually exist oh wait a second what's this but that's impossible if scissors don't exist how did someone clip out this article it can't be I got it the harbinger of gout an decision is worth friends looks like you have to lunch wait a second why do I have a gun holster I don't have a gun people that haven't come over in several years that was the last man and he's dead now month of Halloween folks and thanks for watching the new jontron if you want to help support the show you know the drill you can sign

"Why do I have a gun holster? I don't have a gun"

You do, Jon, or was this before you found out you don't own a coffee company?

[u/Pleasedontsaypenis]

I was happy to see Jon's grump face.

[u/Greenleaf208]

Throwing up candy corn.

🎶I'm being strangled by the man in the mirror🎶 Ah JonTron truly sings the classics.

[u/TheDeathDistributor]

Wow, I like the frequency of his videos. Wasn't the anti-drugs one a few weeks ago?

[u/Joshkbai]

Jon throwing up candy corn. Oh man. 10/10

I was really expecting to see the hat story continue, Still though I gotta say that Jon really has been on a roll. I liked the second season but there was something kinda missing that made the older ones great but the past two episodes has been some of his best work.
