Clockwork Tales: Of Glass and Ink is a blast to the past. 2013 is a whooping 12 years from today's year. It delivered for its time, the mysterious intro is charming. It's definitely one that pulls its players in. I remember playing this before and I was fond of this game. If memory serves me right, this is possibly my third playthrough. I believed that warrants it enough to be good as I played it more than once, but it was quite a task to finish. Perhaps the influence of playing it multiple times made me less susceptible to it. I have already expected the main climax of the story and it certainly didn't impress me anymore as much. But a lot of the areas were familiar, tugging a place in my memory of playing it in the past. Even then, the delivery of the voice acting is impeccable. It was way impressive than the recent games Artifex Mundi released. There is not combination of the items, yet it still feels the game did its best. A total of close to two hours of gameplay was done for the main story, and a little over two hours if side story is included. I conclude this review with a recommend, landing on a 7.5/10 rating. It's not disappointing, just very mysterious mixed with steampunk elements into it. If you're into that, you might want to check this hidden gem out.

One of the better HOGs out there. It's quite short -- my playtime is just high because I played in another language for practice. Anyway, the story is pretty good for a HOG, and the puzzles are reasonable. The steampunk visuals are cool. Rather expensive but worth it on sale.

Quite a good puzzle game, I played it on my iPhone over and over again like at least ten years ago. as the years passed I forgot the name of this game, only I remember the delicate artistic design and some fragile image. To my surprise I found this game on Steam as well and quickly bought one without hesitation, it feels good to be able to relive the memories of the past.

Clockwork Tales: Of Glass and Ink is an above average Hidden Object Mystery with a steampunk flair. The creations are nicely designed and the collectible objects tour guide is presented as a treatise on where to find mechanical insects. There's some rough puzzle logic involved in places, but the game is neat overall.
