The game works, is very stylish, I love how the machines look, and the puzzles are quite good, after you remember to hover your mouse over everything, even in rooms you thought you were done with. I really wish the game had provided more detail, not in the "how do the machines work" way, but more in the "here's some backstory on this country's wars and how the day-to-day life of the people works", because the amount of stuff I was expected to understand, not question, and just intuit on my own without any narrative reason was surprising. I know this is a steampunk game, so we will, at some point, pilot an airship, but the game and protagonist expect you to just know instinctively that you need to steal one, and don't bother letting you in on this, to the point where I had to use a hint to figure out what the heck I NEEDED all this stuff for. The only other problem I really have is that the character art is really ugly, and when they developers animated it, they chose the creepiest possible way to do it.

Good story line. Fun. Puzzles can be challenging but solvable. Hidden objects are a bit challenging at first but once you get to know the story and its machine parts, you shouldnt have any trouble. Each hidden object scene will get easier for you. There blended in very well. I thought all in all that Clockwork is a nicely balanced story and the skill needed to solve puzzles and hidden object scenes is greatly balanced as well. The price was right too! :) Not too easy and not extremely hard. Great job 5 stars
