In this quick adventure game, you play as a clock repairman turned murder detective. Fix people watches to gain clues, and then use them to solve the murder!

Use the truth table at the bottom of this page to help you solve the murder. I would recommend getting a notebook to copy it down and record the clues! 

IMPORTANT UPDATE: the clues to solve the murder are missing an important piece. the victim was killed with a Rope!

How to Play

Use the mouse to click on locations and talk to people

The goal when fixing a clock is to have all 12 numbers of the watch face flipped up. To do that left click and drag (or use arrow keys) to rotate the clock hands. Note that all hands rotate at the same time.

Then right click or hit X to activate the action of the hand.

  1. Blue hands flip the number they're pointing at
  2. Red hands "lock" the number, making them unable to flip

Later puzzles also include a subdial which will tick under certain conditions. When it points up it will modify the puzzle in a unique way.
