Story

A year after the events of Clock Tower: The First Fear, in late 1996, Jennifer Simpson has been adopted by Helen Maxwell, assistant to renowned psychiatrist Samuel Barton, and is undergoing treatment at a university research building in Oslo, Norway, to help her deal with her traumatic experiences in the Clock Tower case and possibly shed some light on the mystery of the Scissor Man. While Barton hypnotizes Jennifer, Helen brings Jennifer home early, saying she is not ready to remember the murders. Barton then leaves the room and talks to Harris Chapman, an assistant at the university. When Barton talks to him twice, Harris slips away from his affection for Jennifer and the player becomes Jennifer and not Helen. Barton goes downstairs and is interviewed by Nolan Campbell, a reporter. He then gives the demon statue to either Rick, a former butler for the Barrows family, or Sullivan, the curator of the local library. The memory of the statue's whereabouts is crucial to the ending.
