Clocker is an exhausting puzzle game that explores time and love
New Chinese indie game lets you solve puzzles by traveling in time
While the father is looking for a way back to his daughter, he has to overcome obstacles and forge a clear path ahead. To do that, he uses his magical pocket watch. These puzzles are often quite challenging, stretching your analytic and creative thinking skills. Some require a lot of work because they span across multiple scenes. One of them, for instance, requires you to change the result of a soccer match by influencing what happens in a lab elsewhere.
This isn’t a game you can easily speed through in your first try. The difficulties mean it can be a frustrating experience at times, but also very rewarding when you’re finally able to solve the puzzles.
I’ll admit not all the puzzles in Clocker made sense to me. There are a few where the logic baffles me -- maybe it’s because my puny brain couldn’t understand it. Those became some of the most disheartening moments for me in the game.
