Clockwork Curlew, on the Workbench
An independent Australian game studio introducing its debut adventure-puzzle project through a carefully made, slightly eccentric studio site.
Field notes
The debut project is presented as a tactile, story-rich adventure whose systems are meant to reward experimentation rather than simply track progress. The visible teaser names strange machines, a scribbled map, and a character with a questionable key, while the project remains in prototype and has no stated title, platform, release date, or playable demo. Visitors can read the studio’s design principles and follow future breakthroughs through its first dispatch.
