Our take on Clockwork Tales: Of Glass and Ink
The store presentation gives prominent space to espionage, monster battles, and hang-gliding, but the broader structure is a detective adventure centered on investigation, locations, collectibles, and a directed story. The action elements are part of that format rather than its sole focus.
What is Clockwork Tales: Of Glass and Ink?
Investigate a series of earthquakes that are destroying cities and search for the missing Dr.
Ambrose Ink in Hochwald. The story follows Agent Evangeline Glass as she enters a guarded castle, works with the mechanical raven Matthew, and uncovers the cause of the supernatural events. Gameplay combines detective drama with action sequences, including gliding, disguising the character as a soldier, and fighting mechanical creatures. The game includes 31 hand-drawn locations, or 38 in the Collector’s Edition, plus more than 30 hidden steambugs and 9 achievements. Additional content includes concept art, wallpapers, a soundtrack, and “Ink’s Story,” a prequel bonus adventure.
