The story was confusing at first but it only made sense at the very last moment. Such a fun & interesting experience, I loved every moment of it :)

It's a nice puzzle game. Watch out! You MUST be 2 players, and each player must own the game! But there is no concept of platform or anything like that, so don't worry. Just make sure one player picks "player 1" and the other "player 2". The story is nice, it's a mistery to unravel. The ambiance is nice - don't expect any spooky things though! - and the graphics are cool drawings. The only downside to this game I'd say is the price. It's 5 bucks for 1 hour of gameplay AND both players need to buy the game. I'd advise to buy it when it's on sale. ---{ Graphics }--- ☐ You forget what reality is ☐ Beautiful ☑ Good ☐ Decent ☐ Bad ☐ Don‘t look too long at it ☐ MS-DOS ---{ Gameplay }--- ☐ Very good ☑ Good ☐ It's just gameplay ☐ Mehh ☐ Watch paint dry instead ☐ Just don't ---{ Audio }--- ☐ Eargasm ☐ Very good ☑ Good ☐ Not too bad ☐ Bad ☐ I'm now deaf ---{ Audience }--- ☐ Kids ☑ Teens ☑ Adults ☑ Grandma ---{ PC Requirements }--- ☑ Check if you can run paint ☐ Potato ☐ Decent ☐ Fast ☐ Rich boi ☐ Ask NASA if they have a spare computer ---{ Game Size }--- ☐ Floppy Disk ☑ Old Fashioned ☐ Workable ☐ Big ☐ Will eat 15% of your 1TB hard drive ☐ You will want an entire hard drive to hold it ☐ You will need to invest in a black hole to hold all the data ---{ Difficulty }--- ☐ Just press 'W' ☐ Easy ☐ Easy to learn / Hard to master ☑ Significant brain usage ☐ Difficult ☐ Dark Souls ---{ Grind }--- ☑ Nothing to grind ☐ Only if u care about leaderboards/ranks ☐ Isn't necessary to progress ☐ Average grind level ☐ Too much grind ☐ You'll need a second life for grinding ---{ Story }--- ☐ No Story ☐ Some lore ☐ Average ☐ Good ☑ Lovely ☐ It'll replace your life ---{ Game Time }--- ☐ Long enough for a cup of coffee ☑ Short ☐ Average ☐ Long ☐ To infinity and beyond ---{ Price }--- ☐ It's free! ☐ Worth the price ☑ If it's on sale ☐ If u have some spare money left ☐ Not recommended ☐ You could also just burn your money ---{ Bugs }--- ☑ Never heard of ☐ Minor bugs ☐ Can get annoying ☐ ARK: Survival Evolved ☐ The game itself is a big terrarium for bugs ---{ ? / 10 }--- ☐ 1 ☐ 2 ☐ 3 ☐ 4 ☐ 5 ☐ 6 ☐ 7 ☑ 8 ☐ 9 ☐ 10

I really liked it, it was short but I still enjoyed it a lot :) The puzzles were fun and it was interesting to find out more about the story (although I thought the main characters were lesbians until the end)

"Tick Tock: A Tale for Two" is like an escape room for besties - but with fewer snacks and more brain-bending puzzles. The game drops you and your partner into a mysterious clockwork world crafted by a sinister watchmaker. Separated in-game but connected by your words, you unravel a story of family secrets, time travel, and cryptic puzzles. Intriguing, a little eerie, and very satisfying. My friend and I went from ‘we got this’ to ‘wait, what did you just say?!’ in record time. Communication is key, so prepare for some hilarious misunderstandings. 10/10 would get mildly frustrated with my friend again!

It's alright, but definitely not worth the full price.
