Hello guys/gals!

Apologies for not being here that often lately I am taking some much-needed holidays after the end of the game!

Just popped in to say that we now have the guide and game available separately:

* The Clockwork Man: The Hidden World Ultimate Edition the Game (all 7 chapters) for $16.99
* The Guide including Walkthrough, full mp3 soundtrack and more for $6.99.

Thank you for reading!
Take care,

PixelBunny

A behind-the-scenes article was just published in Gamezebo.

It talks about how the Clockwork Man games were designed, how items and locations were painted, how puzzles were devised, etc.

Hope you like it !

Thanks PixelBunny, It's always neat to learn more about the creative process behind the games we all love to play.

I looked and looked and can't see a price. I won't fill out the form to buy it until I know what the cost is... did I miss it? I kept clicking buy but no price. The reg. price is 19.95... how much is it with the code? What is DRM?

NYLady, I was in the same place this morning so I did some checking. It appears the regular price for this bundle is $31.99 and the coupon is worth $5 off so the price ends up being $26.99. I also checked and found the regular version of Hidden World on Amazon for $6.95. Hope this helps!

Thanks, Sherlock... a bit steep for me. Not sure what Hidden World is but I'll check it out.

Aha! Got it



Bummer... no skip button. Stuck already on the RR puzzle so won't be buying it.

Morning, folks!

Now, to answer some of your questions above:

Price and versions
--------------------------
There are three products of The Clockwork Man: The Hidden World - Ultimate Edition at our site.

• The Game sold for $16.95 and includes an extra chapter (PC+MAC included in price)
• Guide + Soundtrack+Extras sold for $6.95 (PC+MAC included in price)
• A bundle which has Game/Soundtrack/Guide sold for $19.95 (PC+MAC included in price).

The $6.99 versions you find is a SE that lacks the extra chapter. At our site, we do not offer the game with extra gameplay cut out.

DRM
--------------------------
DRM stands for digital rights management. It encompasses all security measures implemented by digital rights holders to make sure their property is not copied illegally.

DRM usually takes the form of file managers/downloaders (i.e. BFG managers), special cd protection or internet connection requirements. Serial Numbers are also a form of protection.

While these acts do not do much against software piracy, IMHO they manage to frustrate legitimate buyers.

We offer our games (from our site) without DRM or serial numbers. You download a file and it's yours. You won't need to save special files or use a manager or hunt serial numbers or hardware fingerprints.

The Skip Button
--------------------------
The Clockwork Man: The Hidden World, akin to adventure games, does not have a skip button for puzzles. It has, however, a very intuitive hint system that is progressive. It will nudge you to the right direction and not spoil the fun for you. If you do get stuck, it will usually solve each puzzle and show you the moves.

You have no penalties for taking a hint nor does it take longer to recharge afterwards.

I hope this helps

Take care,

Pixel

Thank you, Pixel. Maybe I'll try it again. Most game don't give you help with the puzzles... so I didn't try.
