The Clocktower

Your evil look-alike cousin Nemes has built a time machine and has trapped you in a Time Loop. You have 12 hours to stop Nemes from sending you back in time. 

Controls: 

• WASD / Arrow Keys to Move. 
• Hold 1 to Run. 
• ENTER / SPACEBAR to Interact with characters and objects.

Mechanics and Tips: 

• Interact with BENCHES to reset time early.
• Talk to characters to learn about them.
• All interactions and game events are toward the center of the village - no need to explore the grassy outskirts.

NEMES - Your arch-nemesis look-alike evil doppelganger. NEMES wants to keep you trapped in a timeloop forever and resets time whenever the clock reaches midnight!

PORTIA - Owner and lottery manager of the Game of Doors Shop.

CHRONIA - Portia's sister who manages the Clock Shop in the village. Visit her shop to see her large collection of timepieces.

T - Bodyguard of the Secret Society of Time Worshippers.

JANUS - Called "Father Time," Janus is the leader of the Secret Society of Time Worshippers.

SIMPLE TOM - A simple-minded man who is just a little confused. Always.
