About Lair of the Clockwork God
About this game
WHY PLAY ONLY ONE GENRE OF GAME when you could be playing two slightly different ones at the exact same time?
BEN is a die-hard, old-school LucasArts Adventure fan.
He has one foot stuck in the 90s, his feet never leave the floor, and he’s happiest collecting any old junk he can lay his hands on, in the hopes of combining it all together to solve a satisfying puzzle.
His cohort and sidekick DAN
...has aspirations to be the next big hit indie platform character. He's got everything he needs: he's hip, he's sensitive, and his nose is a different colour to the rest of his face.
LAIR OF THE CLOCKWORK GOD sees you switching between both characters and using their unique abilities together in a race-against-time effort to stop all the Apocalypses happening simultaneously, by teaching an old computer about feelings.
Solve classic point-and-click style puzzles as Ben creates unique upgrade items for Dan, so he can jump higher, run faster and blast away at everything with a shiny new gun. Then, run and jump as Dan to unlock new areas and exciting new puzzles for Ben!
If you haven't played the old Dan and Ben games (you should), or you have but can't remember what happened, there's NO NEED TO WORRY! Lair of the Clockwork God is a STANDALONE Dan and Ben Adventure, which means you need to know absolutely nothing about Ben There, Dan That! or Time Gentlemen, Please! whatsoever. None of the original plots is referenced, the characters are re-introduced expertly, etc etc. It's all good.

100 / 100"A very skilled hybrid game between point-and-click adventure and platformer. The plot and the surprises it has in store make it a very special, unique and absolutely satisfying...

100 / 100"I cannot express enough how much I enjoyed this game. It does require you to be a fan of both point-and-click and platform games, but if you are, then this is an absolute...

I was being somewhat familiar with creators' Dan and Ben previous work and I was expecting something simple, short and full of offbeat, but somewhat cringey humor.
The humor is there, there are some cringey parts, but a lot more good laughs. And the game as a whole was much deeper then expected. There's a subtle critique of late 2010s indie scene, of adventure games in general and of getting old (and being an indie creator). The game is really similar to the last Monkey Island game, which was a sort of homage to the whole franchise dun by (most od) their original developers. I couldn't stop playing it till the end and had a great time. Yeah, recommend.
