Description

Third Person

(Ed. note: The following is from material dated 04 July 2002)

"The Watchmaker is an epic 3D point and click graphic adventure with many animated cut scenes...Produced in Italy - three years in the making - The Watchmaker has been dubbed with English dialog and has recently been released in North America.

"The game begins with a lengthy cinematic which takes place in a law office in London. There, our protagonists, Darrel - an expert in parapsychology, and Victoria - an attorney, are briefed on a potential earth shaking situation. Some goons have apparently stolen a dastardly device (a large pendulum with special powers) and human survival may hang in the balance (please excuse the lousy pun). Soon thereafter, the two are whisked off to an Austrian castle where it is believed the stolen device may be hidden. The rest of the game is played in the castle and on the surrounding gated grounds.

"By using the F8 key, you may change characters - from Darrel to Vic or vice versa. When operating independently (which is most of the time), you may summon the other character to your position. It is also possible to exchange inventory items between characters.

"Character movement is accomplished by mouse or keyboard...First person mode is invoked by using the space key. Basically, it shows a close-up view (you'll need this for some puzzles). So far as I could tell, the game has no limit on saves. Game play is quite non-linear, and is sometimes very challenging."
