You find yourself controlling Clockwinder’s gloves. This is an amazing invention that records everything you do with your hands and turns those actions into robot clones that can repeat exactly what you did in a loop. You’ll need their help to save your home.You can use your clones to harvest plants, operate machines, throw things at yourself, and catch them across rooms. There is no single solution to any challenge. You can achieve incredible accuracy and efficiency, or you can create crazy Rube his Goldberg his machine. The only limit is your own creativity.
Last Clockwinder is a unique combination of automation and puzzle gameplay. Since its launch, the game has been widely recognized for its innovative design, winning Road To VR’s Best PC VR Game of 2022, Hardcore Gamer’s Best VR Game of 2022, and his DICE Awards for both VR categories. Winner of several awards including finalist. We are excited to bring The Last Clockwinder to PlayStation VR2 on February 22nd.
We’re big fans of the automation game, but the part we hate the most about automation is putting in instructions for what you want to automate. By the way.
In The Last Clockwinder, the way you tell your clones what to do is simply to do it yourself. Start recording yourself with the push of a button. Hands, head and all inputs are recorded for a short time. You can grab objects, throw and catch them, use tools, and pretty much anything else while recording. When the recording ends, the clone will appear where you were and start repeating the action you just did in a loop. Clones can be created in 2-, 4-, or 8-second loops, and a system of record keeps the clones synchronized. No messing around!
It is an interface that realizes the power of expression and ease of use unique to VR. Precise tracking and free 3D movement eliminate friction between thinking and doing. This is exactly the game mechanics unique to VR.
To progress in the game, you must create a team of clones that work together to harvest resources from plants. Use these resources to power machines, create new plant seeds, unlock rooms in the Clocktower, and much more.
Even if you leave the room, your clone will stay and resource production and harvesting will continue while you are away. You can return to the room later to plant new seeds or experiment with new clone layouts to be even more efficient.
To progress through The Last Clockwinder’s main story requires a bit of dexterity and problem-solving. But for players who want more, most puzzle rooms have optional challenges. The number of clones that can be used is increasingly limited. Think carefully about where you record your clones and how to make each clone as efficient as possible.
The Last Clockwinder story is delivered by an amazing cast of voice actors, including Cissy Jones (Firewatch, Life Is Strange) and Ray Chase (Final Fantasy XV). Throughout Clocktower there are recordings that can be paused or played, allowing you to experience the story at your own pace without interrupting puzzle solving.
As a child, Jules lived in Clocktower. The Clocktower is a structure built into a giant tree and is home to rare plants from across the galaxy. Clocktower’s only other resident was Clockwinder his Edea, the caretaker of the trees and their plants. Many years have passed since Jules left Clock Tower when he received a distress call. Idea is missing and Clocktower is sinking into the sea. Determined to save his childhood home, Jules heads to Clock Tower with the help of Levi, a pilot and business partner of his.
The Clock Tower is a unique place, old and full of history. Generations of clockwinders have built on the work of their predecessors, creating techniques that organically move in and out of the trunk, seemingly interacting with the tree itself. As it degrades, the lines between nature and technology are becoming increasingly blurred. Moss, barnacles, and rust transform Clocktower into a tapestry of life and decay.
The Last Clockwinder is a launch title for PS VR 2 and will be available on February 22nd.
