Spiritual successor to Clock Tower receives release window
My how time flies. One of my first few articles on Gamespresso was the announcement of NightCry's Kickstarter success. In just a year, the team now has a clearer release window. According to Steam, NightCry will be released in Spring 2016.NightCry was a Kickstarter project pulled together by Nude Maker, a team led by Hifumi Kono, the original developer for Clock Tower. Coming together, the team had previously planned for just an iOS version of the game. However, due to outcries from fans for a PC version, the team decided to utilize a Kickstarter campaign to receive funding for the heavy upscaled graphics and better lighting.
