Description
About This Game
11:47 at night. Forever. For now.
The Master Clock of Albahora has stopped, and every soul in the city stands frozen mid-gesture — a wedding half-danced, a tear half-fallen. Only you still move: Lucian, apprentice clockmaker, keeping the city's last live second around your neck. Climb the tower floor by floor, fight the Stilled — routines and regrets with nothing left to do but you — and bring the truth (and the time) back. Every defeat rewinds you to the door; what you learn survives the rewind.
A deckbuilder where every hit lands
Living combat: every character is animated. Enemies act blow by blow, lunging across the floor, and impacts rumble differently depending on who strikes.
58 cards, three archetypes that actually combo: Corrosion (stack Rust, then detonate it), Resonance (echo your best card) and Fortress (turn Guard into a weapon).
25 relics that bend the run, from honest tools to cursed keepsakes.
23 enemies with visible intentions and an illustrated codex: read who they were when the clock stopped.
3 floors, 3 guardians, 3 endings. The loop is the story.
More than a climb
The Stilled Fair: four minigames that pay out cogs — The Exact Pendulum, The Carillon, Second Hunt and The Safe.
Forgotten Safes and Against-the-clock fights waiting in the middle of the map.
The Twenty-One Bells: a back-room blackjack den where ties go to the house.
Three extra modes: The Arcade, the Guardian Gauntlet and the Endless Tower.
Meta-progression in Gregoria's Workshop: recovered Minutes unlock card packs, starting relics and more.
