I just want to make this as breif as I can. I am a Clock Tower junkie
who noticed there doesn't seem to be a single Clock Tower: First Fear
guide in existence, so I decided to make one. Also, I do not know
japanese. This guide is to help you finish the game, not perfectly
translate. ;)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1.3 - S T O R Y
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
(Assumption through observation) In 1986, the mistress of the Barrows
mansion gave birth to 2 twin boys. The boys were named Bobby and Dan
Barrows. They were both psychopathic killers since birth, and there was
an urban legend that they would lure kids into their home to kill them,
giant scissors being the weapon of choice.
In 1995, 5 people are walking down a grass
trail. Jennifer Simpson and 3 of her friends from school are led by a
lady named Mary. She insists that they visit her wonderful mansion. They
all arrive and Mary suggests they make themselves at home. Jennifer,
being the curious little devil she is, decides to wander around a
little....that's when she hears a scream.....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1.4 - G A M E TERMINOLOGY
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Click Point - The cursor (arrow on screen) will change shape when moved
across certain objects or areas of a room. This indicates that Jennifer
can interact (pick up, talk, search, etc) with whatever should be
compatible.
Panic/Danger Mode - When Jennifer's life is in danger, the background to
her photo will flash red and blue. Tap the panic button rapidly to
escape.
Escape Mode - Escape mode is activated if Jennifer is being stalked. You
will know you are in Escape Mode if your character runs when you push
the walk button, and by Dan's theme music. This is a good time to hide.
NOTE: be careful when running from Dan, as Jennifer sometimes manages to
trip and fall. Also, don't let being quick on your feet go to your head.
I dusted Dan down a hall once, and suddenly he was right in front of me
(scared the shit out of me)! Promptly, I was killed. Be wary!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
During the game, Jennifers' picture will prove to be somewhat helpful.
The window color symbolizes Jennifer's strength, blue being normal, red
being near death. You can lose strength from encounters with Dan,
constantly running if noone is after you, natural dangers, etc. You can
regain strength overtime, too. Also, her reactions to the environment
and other things will let you know when something is fishy. Here's a
list of what you may see.
Blue Window - normal. You have full strength.
Green Window - moderate. You lost one level of strength.
Brown Window - caution. You have one level of strength left.
Red Window - danger. You have no strength left. You can still use the
panic button to escape danger, but natural dangers that require strength
to overcome may kill you instantly (example: the parrot)
Flashing Window - danger/panic mode. Tap the B button rapidly.
Surprised Look - something unusual has just been seen or heard.
Close-up on Eye - you've probably just had a close encounter with
madness. Usually wise to run.
Game Over Screen - you will see this if you are killed. Basically, a
screen that simply says "Dead End". You can continue from where you last
entered the room by clicking "continue" at the main menu.

Below are the methods for each ending. Side note: you must follow the
walkthroughs exactly as they are said in order to get the ending(s).
ENDING B
Go to master bedroom, get cologne from bureau. Go to lounge, examine box
on top of bureau. Go to foyer 2, evade Dan. Go to hall 11, examine ledge
on wall, push box to wall, examine ledge again. Go to cabinet room,
examine chest behind the cabinet. Examine the middle box, then examine
chest again to get the cloak. Go to Dans' room, examine toy box. Defeat
the doll. Go to the library, examine second bookshelf from left. Go to
hall 14, use the wooden board to cross the gap, get the statue from the
bust standing to right of tapestry. Go to storage room, pull the cart to
the left, use pipe to break the wall down. Go to secret room, examine
scribbles on wall, both notes on the floor, the duffle bag, then the
corpse. Go to chapel, use statue on gold altar. Go to cave 1, walk until
the dog barks. Use the cloak and cologne on self. Go forward and talk to
your buddy. Go to cave 2. Go to Bobby's lair, examine curtain to reveal
Bobby. After defeating him, go to the elevator and choose floor 3. Dan
will cut power to the elevator, but it will still go to floor 3. You
will automatically run up the ladder and turn on the power to the clock,
causing Dan to lose his mind and fall over the railing, to his death.
After you start walking to the left, Mary will try to choke you. Slam
her into the switchboard, and watch MANY volts course through her body.
She'll die standing up, and you'll survive the madness.
ENDING C
Follow the same directions for ending B, but select floor 2 in the
elevator. When you reach the hall, fend off Mary. After she's down, run
to the left (going right takes you to balcony 2 in foyer 1). Enter
either archway. Run left and climb the ladder. When Mary grabs your leg,
kick her in the face and enjoy her big plunge. When you enter the clock
tower, you will automatically flip the switches, causing a pursuing Dan
to lose his mind due to the loud gears. He'll get pissed and throw his
scissors, grab his head and tumble over the railing. Fin.
ENDING D
Go to lounge, examine box on bureau. Go to master bedroom, get cologne
from bureau. Go to bathroom 1, evade Dan. Go to hall 11, examine ledge
on wall, push box to wall, examine it again. Go to cabinet room, examine
the chest behind the cabinets, examine box in middle of room. Examine
chest again to get cloak. Go to Dans room, examine toy box, let Barbie
know who's boss. Go to library and examine second bookshelf from left.
Go to hall 14, examine gap in floor, examine wooden board. Cross the
gap, get the statue from the bust standing to right of tapestry. Go to
chapel, use statue on gold altar. Go to cave 1, walk until dog starts
barking, then use the cloak on self. Use the cologne on self. Go forward
and talk to your buddy. Go to cave 2. Go to Bobby's lair and examine
curtain to reveal Bobby. After defeating him, go to the elevator. Go to
floor 2 and go to hallway, where Mary gives you an untimely ending.
ENDING E
Follow the same directions for ending D, but go to floor 3 in the
elevator. Dan will cut the elevator power and jump down into the
elevator with you, and everything goes black. Apparently, this is as far
as you go!
ENDING F
Go to master bedroom. Get the cologne from the bureau, go to the lounge. Look at
the box on top of the bureau. Go to the garage. Get car key and try to start car.
Go to kitchen. Get meat from refridgerator. Examine sign on wall, then examine the
shelf twice. You should find yourself in a cell with a man. (NOTE: If not, lose
some strength and try again.) Talk to him once, quickly give him the meat, talk to
him again. After the scene, click on the 2x4 to bash Mary. Once outside, go left,
move the box and go in. Go to hall 11, examine ledge on wall. Push box to wall,
examine ledge again. Go to cabinet room, click the chest behind the cabinets,
examine box in middle of room. Click the chest again and get the cloak. Go to
Dans' room and examine the toy box. Give the doll a piece of your mind. Go to the
library, look at second bookshelf from the left. Go to hall 14, use the board to
cross the gap and get the statue from the bust standing to right of tapestry. Go to
the chapel, use the statue on the gold altar. Go to cave 1, walk until dog starts
barking. Use cloak and cologne on self, go to cave 2. Go to Bobby's lair and
examine the curtain to reveal Bobby. After defeating him, go to the elevator and go
inside, where you earn a creepy ending.
NOTE: the following path is incomplete, mainly because I'm quite stuck, but I'm
open to any assistance.
Go to master bedroom, get cologne. Go to lounge, examine box on top of bureau. Go
to bathroom 1, evade Dan by hiding in cabinet room. Get cloak and can from cabinet
room. Go to hall 11, examine ledge on wall, push box to wall, examine ledge again.
Go to hall 10, if you hear the scream, look out the window. Go to music room, get
the scepter from behind the curtain. Go to hall 14, use the board to cross the gap.
Go to storage room, pull the crates. Use the pipe on the wall. Go to secret room,
examine wall scribbles, both notes on the floor, duffle bag and the body. Go to
kitchen, use can on meat locker. Go to phone room, when Mary comes at you, just
leave and re-enter, and she'll be gone. Examine table. Go to reading room, examine
wall painting, then the left bookshelf, books on table and corner of table. Go to
Dans' room, examine toy box, defeat the doll. Go to fireplace room, get lantern
from desk. Go to library, use lantern on hole in wall to get green key.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
you may want to pay close attention to these if you want to get through
the madness in one non-confused piece. NOTE: I didn't map -balcony 2-
because it is pointless. All the screens after the elevator in the caves
are pretty much self-explanitory one-wayers, too.

3.1 - ROOMS THAT MAY SWITCH LOCATION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
the following is a list of what rooms may switch locations, depending on
your actions. If you're looking for a room and it's not where the map
says, refer to the list below.
CAGE ROOM - sometimes trades places with bathroom 2 or library.
LIBRARY - sometimes switched to where cage room, bathroom 2 or music
room normally is.
BATHROOM 2 - sometimes switched to where cage room OR library normally
is. Also inaccessible sometimes.
BATHROOM 3 - sometimes trades places with the Music room.
MUSIC ROOM - sometimes trades places with bathroom 3 or library.
TROPHY ROOM - sometimes trades places with the mannequin room.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.2 - D A N G E R S / O D D I T I E S
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
HALL 1
- sometimes the drapes on the window will move, or a pair of glowing
eyes may be visible. I'm not sure if it's Dan, but maybe someday, I'll
find out.
COURTYARD
- if this is your first destination (by using the rock on a weak wall in
the rock room) you can watch one of your friends fail at the backstroke.
That darn Dan doesn't make a good swimming partner!
LOUNGE
- sometimes, the painting will bleed. This is usually followed by the TV
turning on by itself, and a strange, windy sound. Good creep-out.
MASTER BEDROOM
- sometimes, when you admire yourself in the mirror, an arm will reach
out of the mirror and try to ruin your complexion.
- not only will the little bastard kill you if you free him, but the
PARROT will even blow your hiding-spot cover when Dan comes-a-knockin'!
I wish you could destroy this nuisance. Here's one thing you can do,
though: you can counter his kill by clicking on the right bed when he is
flying around, and clicking it again when Jennifer is holding the sheet
to catch him. That will shut him up. (if you still die, then click alot
of times to insure safety. Also, your strength has to be in at least the
brown level to do this)
BALCONY 2
- halfway across, the floor will give out, making it totally impassible.
BATHROOM 1
- sometimes, when examined, the sink will pour blood. Other times, it
will pour maggots. This is why Dan has no manners.
- if this is your first destination, you can find one of your friends
hanging in the shower. Dan will play shark and make you go #2 in your
pants.
FOYER 2
- if this is your first destination, Dan will crash through the sunroof
with one of your friends and say "hi".
HALL 4/10
- if you hear a scream in here, look out one of the windows to see one
of your friends learn to fly from another area of the house.
KITCHEN
- inside the meat locker are a swarm of cockroaches and such that love
to piss you off. Just nuke 'em with the can by equipping the can and
clicking a few quick times on the meat locker as soon as you open it.
JAIL CELL
- if you wind up inside with the prisoner, he will gobble you up like a
happy meal if you don't give him the meat.
- if inside the cell at first, after your escape, hiding in the box or
trying to exit will earn you buckshot in the tummy.
MANNEQUIN ROOM
- one of the mannequins moves and makes noises.
- the middle two mannequins fall apart when examined.
- sometimes, Dan will be hiding behind one of the middle mannequins.
DANS' ROOM
- the doll hanging by its leg will try to kill you when you examine the
toy box. Use the panic button to defeat it.
BATHROOM 2/3
- sometimes a cat will surprise you by popping out of a box. Awww...
PHONE ROOM
- the phone rings occasionally.
- if you didn't see your friend showering in bathroom 1, she'll be in
here, wearing the suit of armor. Looking at it will cause it to fall
over and the helmet will roll off, exposing your friend.
- if you come here without finding the body in the secret room, Mary
will knock you out and you'll find yourself in the jail cell with the
man. In the case that you don't have the meat if this happens, you might
as well start over.
STORAGE ROOM
- on your first visit, either Dan or a cat will pop out of the box.
MUSIC ROOM
- Dan is usually behind the curtains. Sometimes he is in the ceiling,
too. Trust me, it will be fairly obvious to notice him up there waiting
for you to rock the piano.
- the record player sometimes turns on by itself.
TROPHY ROOM
- in one of the jars is a pulsating organ of some type.
- sometimes a corpse can be discovered in the closet.
- weird bubbling/growling sounds can be heard.
FIREPLACE ROOM
- if you saw your friend get killed through the window in hall 4 or 10,
you will see that the window in this room is shattered.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.3 - S A F E S P O T S
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are some places you can go to evade Dan. Some of them may not work
at times.
BATHROOM 1
- you can lock the door from the left side. Sometimes, Dan won't fall
for it. That would be bad.=)
MASTER BEDROOM
- you can hide under the left bed, but the parrot will hint Dan in on
your location. Take care of the parrot before hiding here (refer to
dangers/oddities section to learn how)
GARAGE
- climb the ladder and hold still and Dan will bypass you.
ROCK ROOM
- if you used the rock to make a passage to the courtyard, you can crawl
through and instantly lose Dan.
CABINET ROOM
- you can climb the left cabinet and hide behind it. Always works.
- you can throw one of the cans on the floor at Dan. When the fumes
drive him out, you better leave too.
LIBRARY
- you can hide between the far left bookshelves, but usually Dan will
pop out and let you know who is truly stupid.
BATHROOM 2/3
- hiding on the left side of the middle door always works, but the only
downside is that you have to wait a couple minutes before you leave. If
the music stops when you leave the bathroom, then Dan is gone. I don't
recommend this annoying waste of time, but if you're absolutely screwed,
then camp out in here.
HALL 14
- if you are entering from hall 13 and already have the board across the
floor, you will automatically lift it and cause Dan to fall. NOTE: if
you're being chased from inside hall 14, you can run into hall 13 and
back out and it will work anyways. A dandy move if he's in the storage
room. If the board isn't laid out, after you jump the gap and escape,
walk to the ledge, then use the rope on the statue standing to the left
of the tapestry. The rope can be found in the storage room if you don't
already have it.
COURTYARD
- if Dan tries for a game of freeze tag out here, just go through to the
rock room to instantly lose him.
