They're point-and-click games (except for the third one) and they're unique because they make you feel like you are in a slasher movie... you can't use weapons. You are trapped in a building with a killer (a couple of different ones throughout the game) and you must escape while avoiding a SCARY killer.
Basically, when you are encountered by the killer, you can either hide or use items in the environment to fight back (like pots, brooms, vases, etc.)
If there's any fans of "escape the room" games online, Clock Tower would be perfect for you. It's essentially a long escape the room game for consoles, with a deep and involving storyline.
