Dev Update #3

Every now and then we share some curious tidbits on the locations you'll get to explore in our game. Unsurprisingly, this post will contain some minor spoilers in one form or another.

Let us not dawdle though, the Clock Tower awaits in all its splendor!

Everyone on their way to the Tower gets to enjoy the sweet scent of the wisteria flowers blooming. Remember to pay attention to your surroundings though, the wonderful scenery might be hiding quite peculiar things.

Eventually, you'll reach the island's edge area… No reason to falter — there's no damage mechanic to stop you from sating that curiosity and jumping!

Just as you would expect, finding the tower will be rather easy. On the other hand, let's take this massive door…

Yeah, that will be knotty. Similar adjectives can be used for pretty much every obstacle you come across within the tower, but that's the fun part, eh? ;)

Riddles of all kinds are the main type of content that we aren't showcasing too often for a (hopefully) understandable reason. Experiencing all the puzzles yourself for the first time is the main joy of a puzzle game. Although we don't intend to stray from that approach in general, we find slightly tempting the appetite just as important!

Disabled energy flow within the tower will pose an issue for Clef's research. In order to resolve it, you'll need to figure out the logic behind this lever's angles. No hurry, though — take your time and muse.

Great minds often require equally great equipment. Building a huge mechanical dragon won't be possible without using your tools and materials to their maximum. Acknowledging that necessity, Percival has created not one but several top-notch workshops to realize his ambitions.

Clef will need to investigate them and analyze every discovered element. Knowing Cres, even seemingly insignificant details could turn out to be essential clues and should be regarded with appropriate suspicion.

While we're on the subject of workshops, check out one of them in this beautiful sketch-to-render animation!

As you're probably aware, not much time is left until the release day. Reaching this moment is already a triumph for a tiny team like ours, especially considering the circumstances, and we're grateful for all the support received along the way — even by just reading these lines, you're helping from our perspective. :)

Don't forget to look for the new message enciphered in this post, and check out the past ones if you haven't!

See you soon, treasure hunter!
