Lair of the Clockwork God
Management only fear the elder gods and the taxman, Chris Schiling is neither, so he’s been sent off to the content mines to dig up some words.
Genuinely funny games are still something of a rarity. So without wishing to dismiss or overlook the structural ingenuity and genre fluidity of a game that fuses a traditional point-and-click adventure with a modern indie platform-puzzler, the highest praise we can give Lair of the Clockwork God is simply that it made us laugh solidly from start to finish. Its central pair - the witheringly sarcastic alter-egos of creator Dan Marshall and co-writer Ben Ward - deliver gags with a seriously good hit rate.
