We're a small studio that builds games the way a watchmaker builds a watch — slowly, by hand, and with every gear meant to be seen. ClockWork was founded to make small, dense, mechanical worlds worth taking apart.

Our first release

Beneath

Something below the town has been wound too tight for too long. Beneath is a short, atmospheric descent game about pressure, machinery, and the things people bury on purpose. Explore a hand-built vertical world where every mechanism you pass is one you'll eventually have to answer to.
