Story

Jennifer Simpson is a child from the fictional Granit orphanage in Romsdalen, Norway. She and her friends, who are also orphans (Laura Harrington, Anne and Lotte), are adopted in September 1995 (the same month the game was released) by a wealthy recluse named Simon Barrows, who lives in a mansion called "Clock Tower", named after its main feature. The game begins with the characters going to the Barrows mansion and taking up residence in the foyer. Mary, the woman who brought the children to the mansion, sets out to find Mr. Barrows, but she takes an unusually long time. Jennifer offers to investigate, but as she leaves the room, she hears a scream from the main foyer. When Jennifer returns, the lights are out and the girls have disappeared.
