This changes the time displayed on the Clock Tower's face and what season is shown in the large painting in the seventh stage exhibited in the hallway before Death. The X68000's internal clock would usually take care of this for the original release, but since Playstation does not have one, these settings can be set through this menu.

You can also adjust the HuD bar at the top to be solid or transparent. It is better to play this game with it set to transparent.
