Our take on Pocket Watch
The store presentation emphasizes a sprawling island and impending disaster, while the stated playtime is approximately 3–4 hours. That makes the game’s scope notably shorter than the expansive setting might initially suggest.
What is Pocket Watch?
Pocket Watch is a time-traveling adventure set on a tropical island facing destruction from an erupting volcano.
Players investigate the volcano’s unrest after receiving a quest from a mysterious crow, while exploring the island, speaking with animals, collecting coins, and solving puzzles. Progress opens new areas, including locations reached by boat, a festival, and a shop. The game includes a day-night cycle, more than 20 animals to encounter, and over 50 collectables. Its story develops around a suspected plot connected to the island’s crisis and offers multiple endings. The vendor estimates approximately 3–4 hours of playtime.
