THE WORLD NEEDS A HEROIC FAILURE
Lair of the Clockwork God is a genre-blending adventure that pairs point-and-click mechanics with platforming chaos. Players control Ben, who wants to solve puzzles and be serious, and Dan, who just wants to jump on things and save the world.
Switching between the two is central to solving puzzles — Dan unlocks new platforming abilities through satirical "upgrades," while Ben collects and combines items in classic adventure fashion. Their clashing styles parody the gaming industry itself, riffing on tropes from Braid to The Witness.
Beneath the absurdity lies a surprisingly heartfelt story about friendship, mortality, and the inevitability of obsolescence. Clever, self-aware, and genuinely funny.
