Clocker

About

Clocker is a puzzle game where time manipulation drives an emotional story about a fractured family. You guide a father and daughter separated by a void, using a magical pocket watch to rewind, pause, and alter moments to reunite them. Each level is a spatial puzzle that requires careful timing and perspective shifts. The father’s mechanical tools and the daughter’s intuitive abilities let you approach challenges differently, though the core mechanics revolve around precise time controls. The narrative unfolds through environmental storytelling and sparse dialogue, emphasizing the tension between their relationship. The game’s quiet tone and minimalist design contrast with its complex emotional beats. Players navigate a decaying world where time itself feels fragile, which ties mechanics to theme. While some puzzles rely on trial and error, the connection between the characters adds weight to every solution. Available on PC, Switch, Xbox, and Mac since 2019, it’s a short but reflective experience that lingers. Wild Kid Games’ focus on emotional storytelling over action makes it stand out in the indie puzzle space.
