		+	==Genre Explanation==
		+	Clock tower incorporates two important and rarely mastered, at least when coupled together, genres.
		+
		+	===Survival Horror===
		+	The first is the obvious. Clock Tower implements the sense of horror very nicely in a number of ways. The character you control, while free, doesn't have much strength or ingenuity for that matter. Since she can only defend while at full strength and doesn't often use any means of weaponry. This gives the player a sense of weakness or helplessness. While other games allow the player to use some type of weapon, grenades, handguns, and [[Biohazard\| gibble sandwiches]], Clock tower does not. In terms of actually fighting you are completely helpless.
		+
		+	===Point and Click===
		+	The other main genre that Clock Tower incorporates is [[Point and Click]]. Point and click is not used too often in more recent games, but for Clock Tower, it adds so much more to the fear that is instilled in the player. Many games that implement point and click do it well, [[motas\| there]] [[Wonder Project J\| are]] [[Myst\| many]] games that do a really good job. The use of point and click coupled with horror magnifies the fear the player experiences. Since the player is not in direct control of [[Jennifer Simpson\| Jennifer]], there is an air of uncertainty.

This solidifies the weakness that the player feels and beautifully strikes fear in the player when [[Bobbby Barrows\| Bobby]] appears.
