About the Game
WHY PLAY ONLY ONE GENRE OF GAME when you could be playing two slightly different ones at the exact same time?
BEN is a die-hard, old-school LucasArts Adventure fan.
He has one foot stuck in the 90s, his feet never leave the floor, and he’s happiest collecting any old junk he can lay his hands on, in the hopes of combining it all together to solve a satisfying puzzle.
His cohort and sidekick DAN
...has aspirations to be the next big hit indie platform character. He's got everything he needs: he's hip, he's sensitive, and his nose is a different colour to the rest of his face.
LAIR OF THE CLOCKWORK GOD sees you switching between both characters and using their unique abilities together in a race-against-time effort to stop all the Apocalypses happening simultaneously, by teaching an old computer about feelings.
Solve classic point-and-click style puzzles as Ben to create unique upgrade items for Dan, so he can jump higher, run faster and blast away at everything with a shiny new gun. Then, run and jump as Dan to unlock new areas and exciting new puzzles for Ben!
If you haven't played the old Dan and Ben games (you should), or you have but can't remember what happened, there's NO NEED TO WORRY! Lair of the Clockwork God is a STANDALONE Dan and Ben Adventure, which means you need to know absolutely nothing about Ben There, Dan That! or Time Gentlemen, Please! whatsoever. None of the original plot is referenced, the characters are re-introduced expertly, etc etc. It's all good.

3/10 interesting idea mixing a platformer with a point and click game platforming is weak point and click puzzles are underwhelming or not at all part of that chunk would rather play one or the other, not this hybrid

I wanted to like it so bad! I loved the first two games. I disliked the platforming and found it either way too easy or way too difficult. The adventure game portions couldn't make up for it :(

Sadly this is a narrow recommend. The game does a lot of neat stuff that's worthy of attention, but its let down by a few things: - The control scheme never quite gelled for me (I used keyboard + mouse), I got used to

A witty and thought provoking game with fun and frustrating platforming. Be prepared to think outside of the box. Writing was really great, a lot of variety. I'm not a huge fan of platforming, but this was very

Lair of the Clockwork God is a rare kind of indie game that feels both lovingly nostalgic and sharply contemporary, blending two traditionally separate genres into a single experience that constantly reinvents itself.

Hands down, this was the game that brought the biggest smile to my face this year. It was funny, sweet, smart and you can tell that is was made with a lot of heart. I'll be honest though - the platforming could get a
