Look! The game's been updated! I wonder what weird and wonderful ways you've found to break my beautiful creation THIS time >:( NOT FIXED: - The 'Dan jumping on Ben's head' glitch remains, I'm afraid. Pretty confident I'll get it soon! FIXED: - Can no longer get in a pickle if you combine two items while wearing one of them. - Mop is no longer 'a bit much' when worn - Moved a checkpoint, a bit - Improved some signposting on an early puzzle - Fixed a boring autosave issue in Chapter 20 - Thrusters should no longer stay active when out of range - Teleport is now user-assignable - Hammering the 'Skip Dialogue' on a keyboard button no longer causes a hang if two people are speaking at the same time - Hopefully fixed an issue that would display tags when a controller was disconnected If anything has gone WRONG with this build, because I'm an idiot, you can rollback to v1.03 by opting into the Beta branch called "rollback" Any bugs you find, please email them to dan@sizefivegames.com and I'll get them fixed up :)

WHY PLAY ONLY ONE GENRE OF GAME when you could be playing two slightly different ones at the exact same time?

BEN is a die-hard, old-school LucasArts Adventure fan.

He has one foot stuck in the 90s, his feet never leave the floor, and he’s happiest collecting any old junk he can lay his hands on, in the hopes of combining it all together to solve a satisfying puzzle.

His cohort and sidekick DAN

...has aspirations to be the next big hit indie platform character. He's got everything he needs: he's hip, he's sensitive, and his nose is a different colour to the rest of his face.


LAIR OF THE CLOCKWORK GOD sees you switching between both characters and using their unique abilities together in a race-against-time effort to stop all the Apocalypses happening simultaneously, by teaching an old computer about feelings.

Solve classic point-and-click style puzzles as Ben to create unique upgrade items for Dan, so he can jump higher, run faster and blast away at everything with a shiny new gun. Then, run and jump as Dan to unlock new areas and exciting new puzzles for Ben!




If you haven't played the old Dan and Ben games (you should), or you have but can't remember what happened, there's NO NEED TO WORRY! Lair of the Clockwork God is a STANDALONE Dan and Ben Adventure, which means you need to know absolutely nothing about Ben There, Dan That! or Time Gentlemen, Please! whatsoever. None of the original plot is referenced, the characters are re-introduced expertly, etc etc. It's all good.
