Lost In Time: The Clock Tower

JamesWhen a teenage girl wanders into a local clock tower and surprises the clocksmith, she ends up causing an accident that upsets the very balance of time itself. Can she find out what went wrong and fix it before time itself ceases to exist? Only time will tell in Lost In Time: The Clockwork Tower.

Lost In TimeLost In Time is a pretty standard adventure/hidden object game served up for the less experienced of players. As the nosy Eliza, you end up disrupting time when a special watch lands in the gears of the local clock tower. As a result everyone is stuck in time. Fortunately, you uncover a sentient pocket watch that helps guide you towards repairing said tower. But to get there you will be doing quite a lot of puzzle solving and hidden object finding.

Lost In Time mixes a bit of adventure with some hidden object elements and a good wedge of puzzles. Most of the time you'll walk around exploring small areas with a battery of puzzles in the queue and a list objectives to complete. You're always on the lookout for things to pick up in these parts of the game, and from time to time you'll stumble across a hidden object scene. These aren't overly challenging, with small lists to find and no exotic items stashed in the cupboards. You can even exit and resume hidden object scenes as you see fit!

The puzzles make up the most demanding part of the game, but they cover familiar types, mostly sliding puzzles, and an interesting card game. The exception is the rather tough puzzle at the end. You'll also need to stay on the lookout for bits of diamond and coal, which the local villagers seem to have left scattered all over the place. Why? Haven't a clue. But you can use them as currency at the general store, buying things like a slab of meat for ten diamonds. Looks like leaving precious gems laying around has decreased their value, hasn't it?

Lost In TimeAnalysis: Before delving into the game, it should be noted that Lost In Time is really for newcomers to the genre and young kids. It contains a guilt-free hint system that only requires a recharge period and you can even click on individual goals to get a specific clue (not to mention the very useful ability of clicking on a hidden object list item to see a silhouette of it). Every puzzle, with the exception of the final one, can be skipped and the whole experience, for me at least, clocked in at less than three hours. It is not meant for serious players, but is incredibly kid-safe, and very casually-oriented, too.

With that in mind, it is a pretty good experience that never gets too frustrating and covers the fundamental bases of this genre mash-up. With nice art and a funny(ish) script, Lost In Time is about as polished and presentable as most peers in the genre (likewise, the voice work is as less-than-impressive as you'd expect too). Where it does fall short from other novice games in this genre is in it's lack of epicness. Usually such an adventure will take you to exotic locales and meet truly strange people, but Lost In Time keeps it simple and hangs around a town that counts a park amongst its more exciting attractions.

Lost In Time is a good addition to this family of games and a solid starting point if you have a young kid or old relative you want to surprise with a relatively unchallenging game.

Restoring the clock

Spoiler

To restore the clocks you will need to build the diamond gears.
Solution:Screenshot

Spoiler

Museum: Behind the T-Rex. Use the watch's time-reverse ability on it.

Spoiler

Courtyard: The circular pattern in the grass. Use the shovel to dig it up.

Spoiler

Gear Platform: Lying on the platform. Give it to the Toymaker to be repaired.

The Clock Room

Spoiler

To finish the game, you need to put all the clocks on 12:00. That means both arms, the XII (outer ring) and the 0 (inner ring) all need to be at the top position. Each circle has two gears that rotate it in different directions and different iterations.
The best strategy is to isolate which gears cause the half rotations of the large numbers and short hand. Lets take the internal ring as an example. Flip the short hand with the half-rotation gear until it rests on the top position. Then switch gears and crank it down to the bottom (6) position. Switch gears again and rotate the dial back to 12 in one move.
The outer ring works the same, with the Roman Numerals being the ones that revolves halfway.
Keep doing this and you will soon move all the dials into the right spot.
For every one click on the halfway gear of the outer ring, the other gear gets two clicks. On the inner ring the ratio is 1 to 4.

Congrats! You are done!

Thanks, James, for the walkthrough!

Sorry. I have to disagree. I have been playing games like these for years and I was thoroughly engrossed. It's not the most difficult game I have ever played, but not just for newbies and kids!

What's frustrating is that from the name I thought maybe someone had revived an old Sierra adventure game. Even uses a similar font for the words "Lost in Time".

Ummm...this reviewer needs to play more of these games before he reviews. The consensus on other sites and forums was that this game is more difficult than most. There are many people who regularly play these type of games that needed help on certain puzzles. It certainly is not a "Kids" game?!

This game is definately not for kids......i am an adult and i am stuck and can't get past it....I am Stuck and i need Help?

Click on the table. It starts a HOG, which gives you three stones when completed.

Spoiler

Use the stones on the lock box in front of the bed and press the red button. You will get the elevator key.

Spoiler

Head to the Clock Tower's staircase. Use the watch's time-reverse ability on the elevator. Use the key and then select the third floor.

The Machine Room

Spoiler

Click on the tools and parts, which will activate a HOG. Complete this to get three levers.

Spoiler

Use the levers on the control box, then flip the levers to line up the staircase and head to the gear platform.

Spoiler

Use the watch to talk to the Clockmaker. You need to find the three gears and restore the clock.

Restoring the clock

Spoiler

To restore the clocks you will need to build the diamond gears.
Solution:Screenshot

Spoiler

Click on the map. Once the diamond gears are restored, the three gear locations are shown on the map. Once a gear is ready to be moved, the watch will pulse with a feint green. Click on the pulse, then the gear.

Spoiler

Museum: Behind the T-Rex. Use the watch's time-reverse ability on it.

Spoiler

Courtyard: The circular pattern in the grass. Use the shovel to dig it up.

Spoiler

Gear Platform: Lying on the platform. Give it to the Toymaker to be repaired.

The Clock Room

Spoiler

To finish the game, you need to put all the clocks on 12:00. That means both arms, the XII (outer ring) and the 0 (inner ring) all need to be at the top position. Each circle has two gears that rotate it in different directions and different iterations.
The best strategy is to isolate which gears cause the half rotations of the large numbers and short hand. Lets take the internal ring as an example. Flip the short hand with the half-rotation gear until it rests on the top position. Then switch gears and crank it down to the bottom (6) position. Switch gears again and rotate the dial back to 12 in one move.
The outer ring works the same, with the Roman Numerals being the ones that revolves halfway.
Keep doing this and you will soon move all the dials into the right spot.
For every one click on the halfway gear of the outer ring, the other gear gets two clicks. On the inner ring the ratio is 1 to 4.

Congrats! You are done!

Thanks, James, for the walkthrough!

The game is not so easy, but i've completed it . it just took me 3.5 hours to complete, just because of the hint function was not of so much help. it never showed where to go to find the needed things.
But it was really a enjoyable game. And it really not a kids game. to tough, and fustrating.

I am so stuck on this game. I cannot find the 4th gold gear. I did the puzzle game, I did the genie lamp thing, I repaired Otto. When I am in either the front room or the back room of the toy store, the pocket watch will not light up so can't use it to try to find any hidden object. But, I seem to recall that something was in the back room and the watch lit up and I remember getting it. Perhaps it was a gold gear, can't remember. I alo got something off the carrousel as well so I am really, really stuck.

Yes, the Hint box is not real handy in this game. It just tells me I need the gold gear and to use the flux watch to look around.

Does anyone know wat I am missing here? I would so appreciate someone's help.
