The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A darkly atmospheric first-person puzzle-horror game where you explore shifting, obscure rooms and hallways, relying on sound and visual tricks to solve mysteries while feeling trapped in an endless nightmare.

What players say

Players say Clockwise is a very short horror puzzle game that can be beaten in about 30 minutes. It has a creepy atmosphere and some effective scares, but the puzzles are simple and the rooms feel repetitive. Performance issues and the original lack of save games were common complaints, though a later patch added chapter selection. The story is minimal and unclear.
