DOLPHINATSU WILL KILL U!

I was kinda curious and decided to translate a bit from the Japanese Wikipedia for Clock Tower 2. So here's some details that we may or may not know about. Oh yeah, these are not the best of translations, most of them pulled out from the online translator and I tried my best to accurately translate them:

- Helen Maxwell's character is modeled after Gillian Anderson, famous for The X-Files. In the early development of Helen, she was originally modeled after Sigourney Weaver. This was changed for the reason that, "I wanted to do a more beautiful woman."

- In the Clock Tower 2 Adventure Novels, they made Tim a huge fan of horror movies.

- As a famed Cultural Anthropologist, Professor Sullivan wrote a thesis titled "The Fundamental Structures of Relatives Who Observe Incest Taboo" at the age of 16 years old which was published in an anthropology textbook. Sullivan is a risk enthusiast and Jennifer's reasoning was, "Because conversations took too long."

- The Burroughsclan: In the beginning of the 15th century, a Margrave from the the Barseyclan Autocracy took territory of the borderlines which happens to be mainly those from the English nobility. Over the course of 5 centuries, they had already ruled the borders of Scotland. They later immigrated to Norway from England in 1912.

- Theodore Burroughs: Founder and Castellan of the Burroughsclan. After returning from the Hundred Years War, he was extremely afraid of death to the point where he started to worship the heresy. The foundation of the belief demanded that offerings of death and fear be presented to their God, Theodore did so by kidnapping and slaughtering the children in the territory which gave him the fearful title "The Cannibalistic Burroughs".

- The Burroughsclan's Castle: A castle from which it stands on cliffs facing northern England and the English Channel. Halfway into the 15th century, when Theodore Burroughs who was the Castellan at that time returned from the Hundred Years War, he started building it. The militant exterior resembles that of the Bodiam Castle in East Sussex.

- The Son of the Great Father: Death and fear are entities in the beliefs of the cultists from the Burroughsclan's religion. In the existence like with angels in theology, it is said that the Door would open when you are in possession of a giant pair of scissors. After the Son is born through the woman's womb, he will take on the appearance of an enormous infant called a "Chrysalis" until 10 years after his birth, then he would become an adult. However, he lacks the function to reproduce and they become "The Apostle of the Great Father". He would be in possession of powerful psychic abilities, his flesh nullifies every physical impact.

- Quentin Burroughs: The 13th generation Castellan of the Burroughsclan. He was opposed to the heresy being practiced founded by Theodore during the 4th century. He believed that if he were to destroy the son of the Great Father born into his own generation, that would then totally eliminate all heresy. Later the heretics assassinated him.

- "Little John From The Castle" is a children's folk tale, it was a song about the monster from their area.
