I know that it's October (that calendar said so), but with the aspects of time traveling that the game uses with the code for the elevator makes me think that it is not a coincidence. We're an intern, and we are told that Chromos filed for bankruptcy because an intern got water on the equipment. We put water on the equipment in order to protect ourselves. Are we the intern? Was going down the elevator bringing us to that date? Or something similar to that date? Did Chronos know what would happen when someone went down the elevator? How did the engineer guy even get into the building on Monday?
I know that Chronos is a magical entity. The first reason is how he looks (though one could argue that he was created by a magical being), and the second reason is that he got rid of Saturday and Sunday. Also, if Simone doesn't remember ever leaving the office, and none of them are there on Fridays, then where are they on Friday? Held in a sleep-like state? Does Chronos know that we are going back and forth in time?
If what the newspaper says is somewhat true and nobody else from the "real world" get into the office, then how did we get there? Was it because Chronos knew that Coworker was going to put in a two-week notice, so he wanted to get the replacement first? Why did Coworker die the same day he submitted his two weeks' notice? Wouldn't he still have to work for two weeks?
Oh well, questions from questions. I think that when we used the water on the equipment to shock Chronos, whatever magic he had stopped so we got sent back to the "real world". Since nobody could get into the building before (and I imagine Chronos was causing rodents and stuff to not get in either, but the spiders and flies already there survived), I think that is why we see Simone's body at the end. However, I do wonder where Coworker's body went. Was it, like, outside, so in the "real world" he decomposed? What actually happened on May 27th?
Very fun concept, I kind of wish there were more time shenanigans to resolve, but the game was nicely executed all the same! Clockhart reminds me of one of the bosses in Endacopia, but classier, which is neat!
maybe they had some kind of cafeteria ? considering the fact that they worked all day, to survive they must have had access to food... (yes this is a good question that you asked and I don't have answers...)
I love the twist that yall took with this game! Super fun, loved clockharts design, but wish there was some more ambient music and sound effects. Amazing game, thank you!
That was an awesome game! I didn't expect that exact ending. I had my thoughts on what was going on, but didn't see it all haha
Great game!
Spoiler below:
I thought it was just a groundhogs day type of thing. Where maybe the CEO had like done some who do voodoo stuff, and they were all just stuck in the same loop.
Not that he had killed them and kept his company in a weird loop haha

That wasn't a bad game and was an interesting concept, I wish it was a bit longer!
If anyone is interested you can find my playthrough below!
...my brain is thinking about lore now-
Like, theories.
So... spoiler warning?

This was a pretty fun game with an interesting concept.

i loved the idea, the design, the puzzles and the story!
This is actually a really good game, the only issue i ran into was how to get the water, but I figured it out.
I completed the game, I LOVED IT I like the concept and everything.
how do i find the code for the elevator??
check the newspaper you get
Honestly some of these game ideas need to be fleshed out into full multi-hour games on god. Very cool and mysterious
Nuh uh
Great one :-D
i'd play a 50 hours game based on that concept
good game keep it on
The puzzles and story were really good! Nice game!
whyyyyyyyy does Clockhart's design remind me of Bezel from Chikn nugget-
Dude,same..
Finally, another chikn nuggit fan! :D (fr tho I CANNOT see a clock man without thinking of Bezel-)
I know,it's like you see a clock man thinking:Wow that looks like Bezel.. But,you don't say anything
for me as well,it escalated to a point where whenever i see a clockman whos voice isnt heard,i read their dialog in my mind in bezel's voice
What a cool idea! I love time loop stories and loved the story! All of the puzzles were well designed and make sense too which is always lovely
10/10, would smash Clockhart.
(Def didn't make an account just to say that)
If you like Clockhart, you should see Bezel from Chikn Nuggit.
you're so real for that
🤫🧏
Amazing, 10/10
I FINISHED
AND SURVIVED
Very nice! Short little puzzle games are my thing!
Very good game! i like the pin mechanic but i wish there was a jumpscare! 8/10
Good game but it wasnt scary. Part two would be awesome. Maybe make it longer? Also, more gore. It was only pschyologically weird. 7/10
Thinking a game, especially a pixel art game, wasn't "gore-y enough" is such a weird take
There was one scene that had blood, like if you add one more gore scene it would be a lot spookier. It's my opinion
Cool!
10/10 would smooch Clockhart 👍
HELP?
Loved the game!
the fact that the date on the newspaper just so happened to be my birthday was creepy as hell
I don't have a mouse is there any other way I can move?
How to advance the text? It doesn’t work for me.
how was Simon able to bring food if she never left
maybe they had some kind of cafeteria ? considering the fact that they worked all day, to survive they must have had access to food... (yes this is a good question that you asked and I don't have answers...)
I love the twist that yall took with this game! Super fun, loved clockharts design, but wish there was some more ambient music and sound effects. Amazing game, thank you!
I love this game and I would like to volunteer to translate them into Turkish so that my Turkish friends can play them. How can I contact you?
Awesome game
R.I.P Simone and The Intern <3
NGL i had to watch a vid to find out how to open the elevator I knew how to win though. not telling what happened
\
this is a good game, totally not traumatizing.
This is a pretty fun puzzle game with a cool horror story.
That was an awesome game! I didn't expect that exact ending. I had my thoughts on what was going on, but didn't see it all haha
Great game!
