Clock Tower: Clock Tower Deluxe

This patch adds mouse support as well as new content from the PlayStation port to the SNES original. There are also lots of improvements like bugfixes and the ability to run through stairs, speed up the credits along with faster health regeneration. Recent additions include a refined chase system coupled with new hiding places and weapons. Your save file is also now protected in case you accidentally choose "NEW GAME" at the main menu.

IMPORTANT!:
A certain key has been moved to where you find it in the PlayStation version, so walkthroughs written for the original SNES version may mislead you. Additionally, a cut puzzle has been added to the last part of the game (see List of changes spreadsheet).

PATCHING:
First apply any translation patch (not included). Then apply the corresponding Deluxe patch (choose either regular or Classic Chase).

UPDATING:
Do not apply the patch to a ROM with an earlier version of this mod, as it could cause crashes! Save files from earlier versions should be compatible, however.
