I just have to highly recommend a game that I just downloaded the demo and knew I had to buy right away. The graphics at times look 3 D and so clear and concise. I like the way you navigate to find the objects. They either zoom in, or left and right.

All voice acting is excellent! The mouth doesn't move is the only improvement of the game I could have asked for. Other than that I don't think the game can be improved on.

The hint system is unlimited and has a robot named sprocket show you either where the object is, or what the object looks like. The voice acting is excellent. The storyline is fun, as well as playing the female character. The most fun is finding and interacting with objects to be fixed.

It is a real arcade game which means BFG won't get it most likely. My vista won't let me download any games from real arcade anymore since they switched to that stupid browser window. So I could not download the game demo from there.

However for those who don't like to use real arcade or are like me and can't get their downloader to work on their computer, Margie at Gamezebo, posted the direct link to Total Eclipse developers of the game. You can download and buy the game from there if you want.

Below is the link, now I shared this great news with my GB family and I am off to purchase this great game since my demo ran out. Sometimes we are stuck paying full price and this is one of them it seems. http://www.total-eclipse.gr/en/the-clockwork-man-game/

I haven't played the game yet, but I have certainly heard very good things about it. The only complaint that I have heard is that the game is "too short." However, I take that with a grain of salt and as being subjective and relative--thus far, I haven't had that complaint with anything that has been thus accused. Maybe I'm just a slowpoke!

Hi Sherryah,I bought the game from Real Arcade when it first came out,it is a good one buy rather short wave


I may not have gone where I intended to go,but I think I have ended up where I need to be.

Is it Interactive?

Hi NYLady

It is interactive as in some parts you have to find objects and use them to solve a puzzle but the bulk of the game play is finding hidden objects.

Gamezebos' review probably explains it fairly well

I am glad your all enjoying the game with me. I love that it is replayable with objects found in different places. As for on the short side, that usually means medium side for me. lol

I also want to add I have never bought a game from a game company that says 30 day satisfaction guaranteed or money refunded. I also want to applaud the game developer Total Eclipse
for their excellent tech support.

I had a problem and it was resolved quickly, my problem became their problem and the tech that worked with me was so friendly and patient. I also told him to check out Gameboomers and read what I posted and others were saying how great the game is.

I look forward to a part 2 of Clockwork man. Total Eclipse is so much fun, and as I said the voice acting I found to be entertaining. I grieve that more casual games seem to be cutting corners and taking away the voice overs. For me, the voice acting helps me get into the game more, and makes it more entertaining.

I hope everyone will give the Clockwork Man demo a whirl, I don't think you will regret it. I don't know if BFG will carry this one. Perhaps BFG Guy will answer that question?

EDIT...................
BTW I did not buy this from Real Arcade, I try hard not to give them my buisness even though at one time I was a member. Darn company I just found out tonight still isn't canceling my membership like I requested. Since the new browswer downloader I can't download any games. Tech isn't interested in helping me, they just keep stealing my money every month, and even though I wrote them and told them to cancel my membership it still isn't canceled. Can you believe it?

Anyway I bought Clockwork Man directly from Total Eclipse website. It was a fast download for me also.

Sherryah,
I also had problems with Real Arcade. Just call your credit card company and tell them what's going on and not to pay Real Arcade anymore. Depending on the credit card company you might have to file a complaint and fill out some papers but at least they won't be stealing your money anymore.

I wonder why some people have the problem. I have not bought from the Real Arcade site but I had a game pass thing with Games House- the $8.99 deal as at the time I only wanted 3 games there.
I cancelled it via the GamesHouse website the other day and almost immediatley got a response from Real Networks that acknowledged the cancellation and that no further charges would be incurred.
I assumed it was an automated response as it came pretty much straight away.

I hope you guys sort out your charges problems with them.

Bella, the last time I looked Real Arcade wasn't letting us cancel online. I have done this, erased my information even, and still getting billed. For my address I filled in "I have cancelled this account" They just fill in the correct address again. It is so frustrating! For my name in changing info, I wrote "cancel" I am returning now to try again.

Hi Sherryah - perhaps they operate the accounts differently.

At GamesHouse you just log in to your "My GamesHouse" account- where it states "You are subscribed...- you click (More) and there is the option to cancel subscription.

I guess even though same owners different systems and sounds like GamesHouse system is a bit more user friendly frown

I just played the demo of this. It's a great I-HOG. I played it from Spintop, since BFG won't be getting it.

Thank you BellaRose for telling me this. It sounds like Gamehouse makes it easy to cancel, Real Arcade, for me is like playing a hard arcade game just to cancel my account.

Tell your credit card company to not accept any debits from this company and then email them that you have told you bank this. I had trouble with another of their affiliates... You won't get the money back that they took either.

Others are having the same problems.... CHECK HERE

Try calling: Phone: 1-866-597-5508

Also try Better Business Bureau online: HERE

I had a problem last week with a company not reimbursing me for something I returned and had the receipt that it was received. Within 4 days I had a phone call from the company saying they were crediting my account. Bad companies need to be taught a lesson. This is stealing! I'm very HOT on this topic.
