Clockwerk

About

Clockwerk was a cancelled title from Next Level Games that focused on two elderly caretakers named Otto and Herman. These Hausmeisters tended to a massive World Clock until their planned retirement came under threat by villains trying to dismantle it. The gameplay likely involved managing the clock while fending off attackers in a way that leveraged the characters' experience and age rather than typical action hero tropes. Players would have navigated puzzles and combat scenarios centered around keeping time running smoothly. This project never saw a release, so no player ratings or community data exist for it yet. The concept stands out because it centers on senior protagonists saving a global timepiece instead of the usual young adventurers found in console games. Most developers avoid stories about retirement, making this setup an interesting departure from standard genre fare. The idea of two older men defending their workplace adds a layer of charm that would have set it apart from other platformers or action titles on the PS3 and Xbox 360.
