The Clockmaker's House

Black Hollow, 1987.

Every clock in this house is ticking.
No one has wound them in thirty-five years.

Three nights ago your sister Clara went to photograph the abandoned house of Edmund Vael, a clockmaker who died in 1952. She never came back.
You go in after her with nothing but a lantern. The door slams shut behind you.

🕯️ The dark is the level

You only see what your lantern touches. Sweep the light across stone walls, wet portraits and burnt wallpaper to find clues, hidden journal pages and the pieces you need to escape.

⏱️ It hunts the light

When the ticking starts to race, the Keeper is coming down the hall. Put out your lantern and wait in total darkness, listening to it pass. Leave the light on... and it finds you.

🧩 Six handmade puzzles

• A stopped clock that only listens to one hour
• Four family portraits and a padlock. One of the paintings is still wet.
• A dead child's music box, and the lullaby that opens an old piano
• An iron safe locked by three crayon drawings
• The great clock in the tower, and a choice with 4 endings. The true one is hidden in Edmund's journal.
