Description
In The Watchmaker, a puzzle-adventure game, players take on the role of Alexander. In his steampunk world of giant clock mechanisms, Alexander’s routine involves repairing his precious clock tower every day, adjusting its mechanisms, oiling the gears and polishing everything down to the smallest piece. For years, this is the only life he has known.
But one day Alexander is awakened by a mysterious voice. This disembodied voice alerts him that something has gone wrong: someone, some unknown being, has sabotaged his beautiful tower. With the clock not working properly, time has gone mad. Consequently, Alexander starts ageing abnormally quickly, leaving him only a handful of time to repair the damage.
Guided by the mysterious voice and armed with a magnetic glove and the ability to control time, he must search the halls and arcades of the tower in search of the saboteur. Various obstacles, enemies and riddles buried in the clock’s intricate mechanisms stand in his way. But Alexander must push on to save the clock and restore time to its natural rhythm, all while gradually uncovering the mysteries of the tower and its even stranger past.

Love the concept, the visuals and the neat puzzles. HOWEVER, if like me you like to explore freely and hate time pressure, this is NOT for you. I gave up after second stage. I simply can't be bothered learning how to

The Watchmaker is an indie game, which is no excuse, where you play as the titular Watchmaker being followed by a purple energy ball and battles robots in one of the worst games of 2018 so far. Pros: - Good visuals - 3

Wasted Watchmaker Potential. There are a few solid mechanics in the game, and the art direction is somewhat presentable, however the general puzzle design, combat and the bugs make this a journey not worth taking. The
