Her design was inspired by Jennifer Connelly's character in Phenomena. Jennifer's movements were constructed from a woman in Human's planning division acting out the scenes. Many of the game's character graphics were digitized from photos of real people. Director Hifumi Kono loved horror films like this and wanted the game to feel like one. Much of Clock Tower 's plot and artistic style are inspired by the works of Italian horror film director Dario Argento, most notably Phenomena (1985). Clock Tower utilizes a point and click interface with the player controlling a cursor to direct Jennifer's actions. Jennifer must then explore the Barrows Mansion to find a way to escape while evading Scissorman, leading to one of the game's multiple endings. Shortly after arriving at the Barrows family manor, one of the other children is killed by a stalker called Scissorman. The story follows orphan Jennifer Simpson soon after she is adopted by the Barrows family along with other orphaned girls. It is the first installment in the Clock Tower series.
