Clockwork Tales: Of Glass and Ink

Clockwork Tales: Of Glass and Ink is a hidden object puzzle adventure (HOPA) masterpiece that has aged like fine clockwork. Every detail, from its exquisitely crafted steampunk visuals to the immersive soundtrack and flawless voice acting, draws you into a world both intricate and enchanting. The puzzles are a delight—ingeniously varied, often demanding clever thinking, patience, and persistence. Each solved challenge brings a true sense of accomplishment, making the journey deeply satisfying. Despite its age, Clockwork Tales remains utterly memorable and endlessly replayable. It’s a rare gem that proves a well-crafted classic HOPA can still captivate, inspire, and enchant years after its release. I’d rate it 9/10 within the HOPA genre.

Интересная игра в жанре point&click. Начал проходить её ещё на выходе в пиратском варианте, а закончил больше чем через 10 лет

The game works, is very stylish, I love how the machines look, and the puzzles are quite good, after you remember to hover your mouse over everything, even in rooms you thought you were done with. I really wish the game had provided more detail, not in the "how do the machines work" way, but more in the "here's some backstory on this country's wars and how the day-to-day life of the people works", because the amount of stuff I was expected to understand, not question, and just intuit on my own without any narrative reason was surprising. I know this is a steampunk game, so we will, at some point, pilot an airship, but the game and protagonist expect you to just know instinctively that you need to steal one, and don't bother letting you in on this, to the point where I had to use a hint to figure out what the heck I NEEDED all this stuff for. The only other problem I really have is that the character art is really ugly, and when they developers animated it, they chose the creepiest possible way to do it.

欸 可以欸~ 在經過重重的紙嫁衣系列磨難以後， 原來歐美式的點擊解謎也很有趣~ 還加入了尋物遊戲~ 雖然那個3D動畫很有年代感XD劇情也很直線到底~ 但熱愛點擊遊戲的你不能錯過本作~

Hmm... I could've sworn I played a game similar to this one... It also had the same themes, same mechanical black crawly thingy and that grandpa (maybe...)... But unlike this game... That one was FAR BETTER. This game is not only short and easy... It's... The Agent doesn't do any spy stuff. If it were "this is a lucky human, rescuing her grandpapi..." It probably would've made more sense. More sense, but still wouldn't make the game any better! Was there anything cool? Uh... The bird? I don't know! I think I fell asleep some time after somewhere, woke up on the creepy freaking robot parts (F sci-fi!) and then the game was over. Alrighty then.

relativ kurzes Point and klick Adventure mit Wimmelbildern

评分：5/5 评测：AM系列手感最好的作品，不仅谜题种类丰富，寻物玩法里也有A→B→C→D的连续交互环节，可玩性相当高。讲的是近日小镇频发地震，博士在调查后得知是有坏人在背后计划阴谋，于是主角扮演间谍潜入敌阵破坏任务，并救出被坏人抓走的博士。游戏是一个非常蒸汽朋克风格的游戏，气氛渲染非常不错，强烈推荐体验
