I am vaguely, tentatively, cautiously interested in this news. I may well get it when it comes out. (While keeping all the standard dealbreakers concerning shit like Denuvo and such in mind, of course.)
That said, I've already played the English fan translation of the original Super Famicom version of this game a decade or two ago[1], so it's not going to be the highest priority for me.
And, you know, it's just yet another instance of the continuing trend of remaking/"remastering"/rereleasing old shit rather than coming up with new shit. There's nothing inherently terrible about that, of course, but it is pretty banal at this point.
[1] - And, as such, unlike what Wayforward claims, this is not the "first time" that the original Clock Tower game has been available in the West. The first time officially and perhaps legally, sure, but not the first time in point of fact.
