Our take on Clockwise
The page emphasizes atmosphere, replay variation, and visual presentation, but gives few concrete details about the riddles or dynamic interactions. The central gameplay loop is therefore less defined than the mood and haunted-house premise.
What is Clockwise?
Clockwise is an adventure, puzzle, and horror game set in an apparently endless dark hallway or haunted house.
Players move through obscure rooms, halls, and other areas while encountering servants of darkness and investigating mysteries. The game uses darkness, sounds, and visual trickery to create an atmosphere of confusion and fear, with the feeling of being watched as part of its presentation. Progress includes classic riddles and dynamic interaction. Different playthroughs are included, and repeated runs are intended to avoid being exactly the same. The stated objective is to find a way out of the house and determine whether the nightmare will end.
