NARRATIVE ADVENTURE

Discover a deep story and atmosphere inspired by Scandinavian fairy tales while entering a hand drawn world. Explore different locations in an eerie village: visit an old clock shop, investigate rooms with creaky floorboards, and venture down into a dark basement to find the answers you need to solve the puzzle.

SIMPLE CONTROLS, CHALLENGING PUZZLES

Tick Tock is so easy to pick up that anyone can join the adventure! All you need is a partner who can communicate what they see in order to solve each puzzle and you will be able to escape without any scratches.

CROSS-PLATFORM PLAY

This game can be played cross-platform, play on Nintendo Switch, PC, iOS, Android or Mac! It’s up to you how you play: play on two PCs, or get cosy on the couch with your Switch and iPad!

STORY

In Tick Tock: A Tale for Two you and your friend find yourself trapped in an eerie world created by the skilful clockmaker Amalie Ravn. Your mission is to escape! But to do so you need to navigate a mysterious, sinister clockwork world filled with secrets and cryptic puzzles.

To find the truth and ultimately escape this place, you must combine the information on both players’ screens. Prepare yourselves for a narrative adventure where your communication skills are put to the test. Shout out instructions, discuss what you see, and listen. But remember: time is ticking.
