March 2026

I had a love hate relationship with this game but I did manage to complete it and had a few laughs along the way so I recommend it. I found some of the puzzles and platforming difficult so I had to sometimes refer to the very good text guide, no shame in that, some of the puzzles were a bit obtuse. In one of the more difficult platforming sections the little character, Dan, was swearing and cursing at the difficulty, very funny since I was doing exactly the same thing. A few tries and I did get through it and I don't consider myself to be a very good platformer. The game is quite meta and once you understand that you start to understand that some odd things that might look a bit like glitches to you earlier in the game are actually game play elements and used to solve puzzles later, very clever. Who would have thought turning down the in game volume level would help the characters in a noisy environment. The game was very chatty and texty so although essential to the story and the game it did slow down the gameplay a bit. In summary an interesting mixup of old school point and click adventure, platforming and edgy meta / break the fourth wall type dialogue. Obviously made with a lot of love and as far as I can tell quite original and well worthwhile while on sale. However not something I would want to play again.

Has one of my favorite mechanic based gags I've ever seen in a game Incredibly clever and a game I keep recommending to friends that love adventure games

‘Lair of the Clockwork God’ is a hybrid platforming/point-and-click adventure game with strong writing and great presentation, and a fitting conclusion to the series Ben and Dan started all the way back in 2008. Gameplay is split between Ben, the point-and-click adventurer, where you collect items, rub them together, chat to wacky characters, and solve puzzles, whereas Dan is the platformer, where you will do the typical running and jumping. Despite this, I would say the game leans more towards the point-and-click side (not surprising given its roots), with the platforming being the weaker of the two halves. Still I really enjoyed my time with the game and would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoyed comedy games.

Played on Switch years ago, bought a Steam copy just to leave a review. This game is really, really, REALLY funny and clever. There's some sleeper jokes that hit an hour after their setup.

Aug. 2025

As well as being very funny, this game features two puzzles that mess with the whole gaming medium in really innovative ways. The platforming can get frustrating though.
