The Clockwork Man is a hidden object game that takes the "quality over quantity" philosophy to a bit of an extreme. The meticulously detailed hand-drawn scenes demonstrate a degree of breadth and depth – including the ability to scroll the screen left and right, and zoom in on specific areas of the screen – never before attempted. It's creative, fun and fresh while it lasts, but that's the catch: the adventure is over all too quickly after three short but sweet chapters.
GUFUyourself writes - "The Clockwork Man came out earlier this year from the small indie developer, Total Eclipse. It’s a casual, friendly puzzle/ hidden object game. To explain to any who has never played a hidden object game; think, “I Spy,” except on the computer. The game is easy on the wallet at $9.99 on Steam and can be a great pickup for two kinds of fans."
Total Eclipse CEO and game designer Argiris Bendilas takes Gamezebo behind the scenes of The Clockwork Man and its sequel, The Clockwork Man: The Hidden World, explaining the inspiration behind the steampunk setting, how the company developed the unique new scrollable and zoomable scenes, and why they decided to release the games DRM-free.
