If the Victorian city of Avalon is full of mechanical marvels, its innards are not nearly as gleaming as the opulent decorations that adorn the streets. The bourgeoisie is solidly installed, you see, and to preserve its little comfort, the proletariat breaks its back to satisfy their desires or toil in the factories. Everyone lives under the dictatorship of Lady Ironwood, the false benefactress, who has manipulated the course of history to her advantage. But a grain of sand slips into these well-oiled cogs: our protagonist, who we can create.”from zero“.
Back to the future
Our tool to overthrow Lady Ironwood is the Stopwatch, which is not used to count the minutes but to go back in time. If the vile squire can twist history to her advantage, why can’t we? But we will have to assume the butterfly effects caused by our actions. “With Clockwork Revolutionwe take role-playing responsiveness to new heights, all with the texture and personality you’ve come to expect from our creations.“, asserts InXile. The gameplay seems to take advantage of these temporal fantasies, not only in the evolution of the setting and its potential narrative ramifications, but also with an impressive sequence of destruction-reconstruction of an arcade in real time.
A sacred piece which can count on the know-how of the director Chad Moore, but especially of the main designer Jason Anderson, who has already tried steampunk with Arcanum in 2001 at Sierra. It does not make us younger.
Clockwork Revolution will be released on PC and Xbox Series X|S at an undetermined date. InXile clarifies that the gameplay seen today is just a “first glimpse of [leur] pre-alpha” and “development is still in its infancy“.
