The PSone point-and-click horror title Clock Tower was one that haunted this scribe as a child. While your humble host could handle killing the undead in the Spencer Mansion, we never could quite cope with the aforementioned franchise. Now, spiritual successor NightCry – formerly known as Project Scissors – is staging a comeback to scar a new generation on the PlayStation Vita.
You'll play as young college student Monica Flores, returning from training overseas on a first class cruise liner. Little does she know that it will end up becoming her aquatic prison when things turn sour and she is hunted down by the Scissorman, as she attempts to uncover the dark secrets of the ship. Taking advantage of modern technology, smartphone apps will provide your main weapon in living to see another day.
The developer's currently attempting to raise money on Kickstarter for a big screen version, but production of the Vita release is already secured. Let's hope that any extra finances that it does raise go into an upgrade across the board, huh?

It looks like it's being made for the PS2, but there's a nostalgic quality to that. I would definitely play this. I like the smartphone gimmick.
One of the great games that coming to Vita this year, tnx no PS4 this time.
Please help make Ito's new monster come alive on the PC/PS4.
No thanks, also, I'd be right on a lifeboat.
Hopefully they extend the deadline since they haven't even announced the PS4 stretch goal amount. I'd be fine with the Vita version (Vita is my favorite console), but I'm donating anyway! Hopefully I don't get burned this time... I'm 0-1 when it comes to Kickstarters >:0
I need to get a better look at it, but if it's true to the original games (not the ps2 one!) I'll pick it up at release.
I think I will pick this up for Vita, when it eventually makes its way there. Graphics are never an issue for me, especially on a horror game.
