Lost in Time: The Clockwork Tower

Lost in Time: The Clockwork Tower is a striking example of how any adventure game should look like. Namco Networks, the developers of a new hidden object game, chose the time travel theme for their title. We have already dealt with this sort of games, and unfortunately, most of them were weird. We also thought it was going to be another ho-hum adventure game, but luckily, we were vastly mistaken.

According to the plot, you take a role of assiduous Eliza, who accidentally damages local clock tower. But the consequences turns out to be far more tragic then the main heroine could have ever thought. So this is only you who can grapple with all complex tasks. You have a helper, stopwatch, who guides you through traveling time back together and comments all every your step with sarcastic but funny notes.

In Lost in Time: The Clockwork Tower, mini-games and other tasks do not go whole hidden object style and not mind boggling, but fortunately, they are all clever and have uncommon ways of solving. The navigation, the weakest point of most hidden object games, is smooth by all means. It comes with a map which allows you to jump to previously visited locations. The hint system works very well as there is nothing vague and you always know how to use one or another hint. 

The artwork is done well and pleasing to the eyes. The steampunk style is well presented there giving much favor as well. Besides hidden diamonds and coals, there are not too many tiny objects to search. They do a good job packaging the game, all objects are logical and serve every scene pretty well. Even the storyline is not dated and keeps our interest till the very last scene of this game. Thus, Lost in Time: The Clockwork Tower is a fine game for any adventure player since it provides a lot of fun and light entertainment.
