This game does NOT work on Windows 10 (even using compatability settings). The devs have long abandonned the game.
The Clockwork Man nous conte l'histoire de Miranda accompagnée de son petit robot Sprocket qui partent aider son grand-père. La narration est très basique mais elle est efficace et bien doublée. Le style graphique des personnages est bien fait et leurs expressions bien rendues (aussi bien visuellement qu'à l'écoute) même si ce n'est que des images fixes. Les décors ne sont prétextes qu'à des SOC, entendez par là (non pas par là,... de l'autre côté ^^... oui je sais elle est facile mais j'aime bien la faire) que c'est le décor lui même qui est le SOC et non un morceau. Car The Clockwork Man n'est qu'un SOC du début à la fin agrémentée de deux ou trois puzzles (histoire de dire) et de dialogues. Même si le jeu commence à dater (sorti en 2009 à l'origine), il reste visuellement acceptable et hormis les plus petits objets (où l'aide n'est pas de trop), on trouve sans peine les "babioles". L'idée de pouvoir "zoomer" (en réalité, c'est le fond du décor qui passe au premier plan) où d'avoir un déplacement à gauche et à droite pour avoir un décor plus grand est excellente à mon sens. Il faut noter que l'on "upgrade" son robot pendant l'aventure. Ces bonus permettent de montrer ou d'indiquer les emplacements exact des objets à trouver. Personnellement, à par, celui qui montre la forme des objets, je n'ai pas utilisé les autres. Cela utilise une petite réserve d'énergie comme les hidden habituel qui se recharge dans le temps. Alors même si The Clockwork Man est un jeu très court car il peut être parcouru en deux heures (à peine) l'ambiance générale pleine d'humour qui en ressort donne au final un jeu très amusant à parcourir (plus long il aurait fini par être lassant).

The Clockwork Man is a hidden object/light adventure game. I've purchased it because i was thinking that it has a steampunk theme, but not exactly. The hidden object scenes are reasonable. At some points you will need the hints. Personally I don't like to use the hint button but I gave it a lots of tries during my gameplay because some objects were well hidden and it wasn't so easy to distinguish them from the background. In some scenes ther are more than 1 samples of some hidden objects and you need to click the correct one. The puzzles are simple. If you are a regular HOG player, wou can easily beat them. The story is not so good. Some scenes are meaningless. My final decision is a negative, but if I had a "meh" button, it'd be "meh". 4/10
Hidden object games are difficult because the hidden objects are tiny!

The story is intreaging and all, but the screen is small and I can hardly decipher anything from my usual distance from the screen. Like another HO game I have to stick my face to the screen to be able to see clearly. It's very tiring. I got irritated many times playing it. I wouldn't really recommend it.
Bof, un peu chianchiant.
Does not work on Windows 10.
Pixel hunting (to the point or thinking you've cliked on something, that wasn't it apparently, get to the point of using the bot for hints and yes that was it but apparently you didn't click in the right spot..), no intelligent support for widescreen, crashed on me during the final cutscene (and reset my save so I am NOT doing it all again to see if I missed anything).. The scrolling and the zoom-in are a false good idea.. more annoying than nice, since foreground objects will move over the background stuff and hide it. Graphics are nice as a whole, story is ok.. but can't recommend this one. Much better stuff and more fun to be had elsewhere on steam, indenpendently of price.
Gioco graficamente molto bello e curato, oggetti abbastanza facili da trovare, musica bella e coinvolgente, storia non troppo innovativa ma carina. Un titolo che se appassionati del genere e costa poco merita una partita. L'unico vero difetto è la lunghezza 3 ore sono forse un po' poche.
