Our take on Clocker
Rather than presenting a single protagonist moving through a fixed sequence, Clocker divides control between a father and daughter and makes time itself the puzzle framework. Their separate perspectives turn narrative progress into a process of altering and restoring events.
What is Clocker?
Clocker is a puzzle adventure about a father and daughter separated by a barrier created by a pocket watch.
Players control the two characters in turn, viewing events from their different perspectives while progressing the story through time-based puzzles. The father can move through other characters’ timelines, pausing and changing events. The daughter can restore altered timelines and follow clues in her search for her father. Changes to the timeline affect the wider plot, with each non-player character following an individual logical structure. The game combines 2D and 3D presentation with hand-drawn, sketch-like visuals, while different colors represent time in its environments and characters.
