About the Game

Tucked away inside a colossal tree, discover a pair of gloves that allow you to turn anything you do into a looping clockwork clone. Use your new power to repair the clocktower and uncover the ancient secrets it protects.


Use the Clockwinder’s gloves to recreate the actions you take with clockwork clones, known as the gardeners.


From growing to harvesting to tossing plants through the air, you’ll need to get creative in order to solve each of the puzzles put before you.


Using the gardeners, create an interconnected system to grow plants, harvest resources, and work together to save the clocktower!

  • Automate everything! Perform simple tasks by hand, and then use the gloves to loop each task on repeat.

  • Team up with yourself! Coordinate your clones to create marvels of precision teamwork or hare-brained Rube Goldberg machines.

  • A cozy sci-fi world! Tackle things at your own pace in a gorgeous setting inspired by watchmaking, sci-fi, and the natural world.

  • Rediscover your connection to the Clocktower: Piece together your complicated past as you work to save your childhood home.
