Title and Connection
While the game's story involves a voodoo curse and a rich Louisiana plantation, there is little to no connection to the Barrows/Burroughs family or Scissorman. The actual clock tower could serve as a symbolic element rather than a physical structure, representing the countdown to the twins' escape or the ticking time until the curse fully consumes their family.
