I have this vague memory of seeing this creepy video as a child (1998-2001) on the TVs in a retail store (Target/Walmart/Kmart). I think it might have been for a video game.

The trailer was animated with a ghoulish/zombie-like hunchback staring at the viewer and talking while cutting to clips of a girl running through a graveyard. I don't remember much else, except that it really creeped me out as a young child.

I remember the video game cover having a girl standing on a hill with ghosts/monsters around her. I think the game was rated T. And it was probably for N64, PS1 or PS2. I think if I am able to find the game, I might have an easier time finding the trailer.

I am 100% certain this was not the MV for Clint Eastwood by Gorillaz.

I knew it as soon as you said little girl and hunchback.

It was for the game Clock Tower 3 youtu.be/OwEv8kV1uJU.

Clock Tower is a game about the Scissorman, a hunchback who uses hedgeclippers to kill people. I recommend checking it out actually.

It could have been that game. Do you know if there was any trailers in the US for it?

I remember seeing this game trailer in stores as a kid and I heard it was also super obscure. After finding this, it made me think of the hunchback video I saw.

You mean like this one? youtu.be/a9jan-G-l6E

If for some reason it's not Clock Tower 3 (though based on the trailer alone I'd highly doubt it isn't), try Okage: Shadow King ( youtu.be/UFZRcOeVlqY )

Okage is definitely the video game cover I remember.

But none of those trailers match what I remember. It could be possible the trailer wasn't for Okage and I am just misremembering.

There is a creepy hunchback character...but I am not 100% sure if they were the same. But it is possible.

What I remember was closer to Okage tho. I remember it being animated and I might have mistaken the MC of Okage for a girl. The main thing I remember is the hunchback staring at the audience while talking which none of these trailers have.

There might be a possibility that there is a lost Okage trailer but I am not 100% confident to make that claim. It is a lesser known game which might be why a trailer might be less archived.
