1C has announced that the time has come for The Watchmaker. The steampunk puzzle-adventure game, developed by Micropsia Games, will be released on May 17th, 2018 for PC via Steam and other online stores.
In The Watchmaker, a puzzle-adventure game, players take on the role of Alexander.

But one day, Alexander is awakened by a mysterious voice. The voice warns him that something has gone wrong: someone, some unknown being, has sabotaged his beautiful tower! With the clock not working properly, time has gone mad. Consequently, Alexander starts ageing abnormally quickly, leaving him only a handful of time to repair the damage.
Guided by the mysterious voice and armed only with a magnetic glove and the ability to control time, he must travel the halls and arcades of the tower in search of the saboteur. Various obstacles, enemies and riddles buried in the clock’s intricate mechanisms stand in his way. But Alexander must push on to save the clock and restore time to its natural rhythm, all while gradually uncovering the mysteries of the tower and its even stranger past.
The Watchmaker is also expected to release on PS4 and Xbox One at a later date. Check out the official Micropsia Games website for more information.
