FIXED: - It should no longer be possible to piggyback Ben into going sideways - Dan should no longer be able to get himself into an unwinnable situation with a naughty upside-down crate. - Ben will no longer yammer all over the intro credits if you try to make him jump. - Fixed a gamepad issue where Dan could stick to walls weirdly if you held the stick a specific way - Addressed an issue that could make the camera feel 'snappy' on some systems - Fixed a puzzle that was solveable in a breakable kinda way (Chapter 6) - Splash achievement should now pop like the others. - Fixed the 'dying at the end' Achievement - Fixed an issue that could see the "invisible walls" Achievement not unlock at low Verbosity levels - Fixed a tutorial tip not dispaying properly on PS4 controllers - Tweaked a challenging bit of platforming to be slightly easier - Fixed up a handful of very minor bumps and scrapes, and one big worrying one that's a spoiler If anything has gone WRONG with this build, because I'm an idiot, you can rollback to v1.05 by opting into the Beta branch called "rollback"

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.
