Jennifer Simpson (Clock Tower)

Jennifer Simpson is a character in the Clock Tower series of video games. She first appears as the protagonist of the 1995 Clock Tower, and later appeared in the sequel Clock Tower on the PlayStation, where she was co-protagonist with the character Helen Maxwell. She is a normal teenage girl, and is forced to run and hide from a relentless killer called Scissorman. She was created by the game's director, Hifumi Kono, who took inspiration for both her name and design from the character Jennifer Corvino played by Jennifer Connelly in the film Phenomena. Jennifer Simpson has been the subject of commentary by critics, both in terms of her similarities to Corvino and how well she represents the role of the "final girl" in the series.
