Clockwork Tales: Of Glass and Ink

Je joue sur Linux. Version Linux : excellent. [h1]Le jeu[/h1] On est plutôt dans la moyenne pour les jeux du genre publié par Artifex Mundi. L'histoire est correcte, bien que les méchants avec l'accent allemand soient très caricaturaux. Les casses-têtes sont faciles, et les scènes d'objets cachés aussi. Le jeu est assez court, elles sont aussi peu nombreuses. J'ai par contre trouvé certaines actions un peu stupides, le personnage refusant de faire des actions évidentes pour coller à l'action choisie par les devs, alors qu'on a d'autres objets qui pourraient très bien se prêter à ce qu'on souhaite accomplir. C'est un peu dommage. Les doublages sont très moyens, rien à redire sur le reste, c'est habituel pour le genre. [h1]Rejouabilité, achievements[/h1] Aucune difficulté pour les achievements. Pensez bien à trouver les collectibles dans chaque nouvel endroit visité et à jouer en mode expert. [h1]En bref[/h1] Le jeu est un peu court mais pas désagréable. Pour le genre, il est dans la moyenne. [h1]GNU/Linux[/h1] Je n'ai rencontré aucun problème avec la version native. OS: Arch Linux, KDE Plasma 6, Wayland. Hardware : 5950x, AMD RX 6900XT, 64GB ram. Screens : Dualscreen, 1x 4K & 1x 1920x1200.

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

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.

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.

Ładne, choć dziwne trochę.

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~

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.

——记录：25/12/27入。 ——《发条传说：玻璃与墨水》，A社经典寻物解密游戏，支持中文，不要在意中文质量... ——主线+附加一共2个故事关卡。 ——全成就这次没有不能跳过教程这种比较容易错过的，需要注意的是选择第三个难度专家模式、不要跳过剧情动画和小游戏。 ——这一部的剧情还行，没什么特别想吐槽的。 ——马修这只小机械鸟的远距离互动感觉这部里用上的频率不太高有点可惜。26/02/05

в детстве я обожала поиск предметов, эта игра вернула меня в то время, которое кажется было таким беззаботным, когда трава казалась зеленее, солнце ярче, люди добрее, вообщем однозначно лайк этой игре, но жаль она коротенькая, можно быстро все пробежать.

A good one. The steampunk worldbuilding is excellent, the puzzles are beyond average, some of them original, all of them fitting the theme very well. Story is good, characters and voice acting again above average. The only niggle I have is with the hidden objects - they are either on the fairly easy side or (the golem parts!) completely undoable without resort to hints or blind clicking about.
