I love this game so much! I have just finished Chapter 1 and wanted to leave a review. I came into this game a bit hesitant as sometimes visual novels have a tendency to be verbose however, Kill The Clock was engaging through and through. I really enjoy the dice rolling aspect of the game! While it can be frustrating at times being 1 point away from a successful check, it is also what kept me on my toes. If you are looking for something that is a bit more puzzle like, I can't say this will scratch that itch as the game gives you plenty of hits and redos to find clues and choose the right answer in certain scenarios. The optional combat was also fun for a nice little laugh. In the future I plan on playing a run with my combat fully specked. I am curious how all of these choices will ultimately affect the story and cannot wait to playthrough the rest!! The art is gorgeous and does not fall off once you get into the game. The characters are a bit tropey but they have their secrets. There are a few mini games such as the heart reader and the casino games. I do wish there were more opportunities to play these and it would be interesting if the characters had different/more reactions depending on how you do. Although there are only two chapters out atm I would definitely say this is worth a buy for chapter 1 alone, as I found it to be more well polished than other fully released games I have played. There are some quirks here and there for example: The first autosave slot is ALWAYS for autosave and will unfortunately overwrite any manual save you have in that spot. However, I have faith the devs are working towards a better user experience. Best of luck to the devs and I hope other players can enjoy this as much as I did.

챕터1만 일단 클리어 했는데 첨에 그냥 살인자를 찾는 추리 게임이구나 하고 플레이하다가 중간 중간 공포찌질이인 나에게 엄청난 타격을 주는 요소들이 있었다. 그리고 펀딩했던거라 추리게임으로만 기억하고 게임 내 설정(루프물)을 까먹고 있었는데 막판에 충격 그 잡채.......모르고 게임하니 추리게임을 가장한 공포게임이었다. 암튼 게임이 전체적으로 훌룡했음! 게임에 애정을 담고 잘 만들었다는게 느껴졌고 설명도 친절히 해줘 플레이하는데 이해가 쉬웠음. 이런류의 게임은 처음 해봤는데 대만족!!! 근데 밤에 불키고 해야겠다;;
SOOO good!! I've really enjoyed everything about this game so far from the art style, to the characters, to the plot! It's very interesting and keeps you hooked. If you're someone who enjoys murder mysteries, this is definitely the game for you! I can't wait to see more! :)
이런 류 추리 게임을 처음 해보는데 생각보다 더 재밌네요. 빨리 다음 쳅터가 나오면 좋겟습니다
짜임새가 약간 허술합니다 뒤로 가면 좋아지나 했지만 가다가 말고 끊었습니다. 나머지는 나중에 출시해준대요
게임의 스토리 짜임새를 위해 노력한 흔적이 보입니다. 추리 게임을 많이 해본 것은 아니지만 주사위라는 불확실함을 추가하여 진행하는데 다양한 방향성을 준 것이 특별한 점인 것 같네요. 주사위라는 운적인 요소에 심하게 답답하거나 막막한 부분이 생기지 않는 점도 밸런스적으로 좋은 것 같았어요. 정식 출시 되길 고대하고 있겠습니다
我在一个行驶中的火车醒来,对为何身处此地十分迷惑,但从身上携带的物品得知我此行的目标是当地有名的人物威廉·梅耶尔,具体要做什么,当然是杀了他! 只不过,当我潜入到他的宅邸中后,推开书房门的瞬间就发现他已经躺在地上死去多时。 而还没来得及多想,身后便传来了女人的尖叫,是他的妻子琳达。紧接着便是听到叫声的警官赶到现场。而我此时就站在尸体旁边,哪怕浑身是嘴恐怕也说不清了。 “抓起来” 《Kill The Clock》是一款时间循环题材的推理冒险游戏。虽然目标已死于他人之手,但你还是得抓住真凶,从而洗脱自己的嫌疑。 [h2] 跑团+推理:骰娘救我![/h2] 本作一大特色就是在视觉小说的基础上融合了TRPG的掷骰机制。游戏开局可以自选主角的性别和职业(侦探、记者、运动员、售货员和艺术家)。不同职业有不同的初始属性和能力,像是侦探可以提升调查中获得的金钱,记者可以增加贿赂的成功率、运动员可以用哑铃锻炼增加力量,商人购物打折,而艺术家可以每天画一幅画送给NPC提高好感度。 属性系统包括力量、智力、敏捷、幸运、魅力。技能则包括战斗、投掷、手艺、潜行、心理学、奔跑、说服和贿赂。确定好职业后可以使用自由属性点和技能点提升,是补齐短板还是登峰造极全看你的选择,毕竟属性的高低只能影响判定,骰子点数加上属性和技能加成,再算上好感和道具的增益,才能决定最终决定的成败。 如此的设计可以说让不同的开局体验都不一样,可能这一轮靠魅力说服了他人,但下一轮点数不够只能另寻他路。有些行动失败了也不影响主线推进,只是会让你走一条更曲折的路,自由度这一块确实高。 然后在线索调查阶段可以按住TAB键,可以将当前场景中的所有可互动物品高亮显示,这一点要给个好评。 此外游戏中还内置了十分完善的辅助系统,在菜单页面中将道具、证物、人物、行程什么的都记录的十分详细,甚至在人物界面中还可以给每个人做单独的注释,十分有趣。 不过在游玩过程中有一点有些难受,就是无法在做选项的时候进行存档,所以务必要养成勤存档的好习惯。 [h2] 时间循环:同一个死者,N种死法[/h2] 正如我此前所言,游戏是时间循环的题材。当你首次成功指认真凶解决案件后,竟然在睡梦中遭人灭口,随即时间也重置回火车上的起点。 而更加离奇的是,威廉·梅耶尔依旧死了,但凶手和作案手法却发生了变化?此时就得重新审视所有人物和线索。上一轮你觉得最可疑的人,这一轮可能完全无辜;而上一轮你忽略的细节,这一轮反倒可能成为破案关键。而随着循环推进,盘绕在整个游戏背后的阴谋逐渐浮出水面。 游戏目前还处于EA阶段,原计划四章的内容只完成了前两章,而根据开发日志来看,剩下的两章内容也会在不久的未来与玩家见面。虽说不能给大家打包票后续章节的质量,但仅从游戏目前的表现来看,我只能说潜力很大。 [h2]目前的问题:内容不全,中文刚加[/h2] 游戏最大的问题自然是游戏还没昨晚,四章只出了两章,故事讲到一半就断了,虽然前两章的悬念和抽丝剥茧的探索已经足够吸引人,但等后续内容的过程确实是有些煎熬,也希望制作组能早日完成更新,让我一窥后续内容。 此外游戏目前也新增了官方中文,而且本地化这一块也没啥问题,就是每次重进游戏后都得手动到设置更改一次,这个体验上就不太好了。 [h2] 结语[/h2] 就目前的内容而言,本作的质量绝对能满足你的期待。对于喜欢推理游戏且能接受目前内容不全的玩家而言,本作绝对值得一试;但如果更加倾向于等完全体的玩家,也可以先观望,等四章全部出完再入手。 [quote] 奏游戏之乐章,品人生之绚烂 [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45672460/]欢迎加入 『 丰川集团 』[/url] [u][b]以丰川集团之名,行评测鉴赏之事[/b][/u][/quote]
진짜 기다린만큼 기대이상으로 재밌게 플레이했어요 수려한 캐릭터 디자인과 스토리에 빠져들수있는 몰입감,, 다만 단축키나 화살표로 이동하는거 같은 편의성이 업뎃되면 좋겠어용 ㅎㅎㅎ 빨리 나머지 챕터들도 나왔으면 좋겠네여 그리고 엔딩수집하는거 좋아하는데 엔딩 조건이나 힌트같은것도 같이 띄어주면 더 좋을거같긴해여,,, 후회없는 후원이었습니다ㅠ 차기작도 낸다면 100000% 후원할것!!
[h1]什么?视觉小说居然还能摇骰子来判定事件的成功率?[/h1] 这个作品给我的感觉就是有点跟博德之门有点像的。本作的话是主要以推理的视觉小说形式和摇骰子决定事件来推动剧情的,剧情的话整体来说感觉一般,但比较突出的一点就是主角能进行时间回溯,然后成功指认凶手,宠爱有多招募的玩法,然后像同一个案件可能死法和作案手法就不一样了。能在不断重复的时间找到答案吗? [h3]游戏玩法 [/h3] 那个时候,主角刚从火车上探索完,准备去杀人,下车后去私闯民宅,结果发现人头被别人抢了,但是不幸的是被他老婆所看见了,结果你一个人站在他旁边,根本不信任我们的主角,然后报警了。所以警方觉得他是杀人凶手,那没有办法?只能换种身份来调查这个案件了,该作目前还是有4章,整体感觉还可以,剧情还是也有推理收集要素,还有喜欢的朋友还是值得一玩的。 可通过调查来查看或者获取道具,不过有 tab 的提示。角色有不同的职业可供选择和状态、技能可分别的加点,不管是常规的力量、智力还是幸运,甚至是可以加战斗心理学说服贿赂潜行逃跑。根据自己的需要,比如说艺术家更容易地提升角色的好感度,侦探可以获取金币增加,方便进行贿赂和用于商店,一般来说的话 是抛5个骰子来判定技能是否能成功,如果甩子点数和技能加的属性数值之和大于等于目标值的话,技能就生效了,还可消耗幸运属性来提高成功率,不过有次数限制,整体看下来还是非常有意思的。 [quote]关注「[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45580968] 月の赏 [/url]」[/quote] [u][b] 月揽千游,一赏知味 [/b][/u]
Kill The Clock is SO GOOD. I honestly didn’t expect to enjoy it this much, but wow! I was completely hooked and left hanging at the end! 😭 From the very start, the story just pulled me in. The mystery, the time-loop concept, the choices, and everything that will make an impact to the playthrough. everything feels so well-thought-out. You’re stuck reliving the same week where a murder happens, and every decision you make can change how things unfold. It’s both exciting and stressful in the best way possible. I really love the mix of dialogue choices, stat checks, and dice rolls <3 it makes every outcome feel unpredictable and alive... it gives that feeling of “oh no, please let this succeed” every time. The art style is simple but fits the atmosphere perfectly. The writing kept me curious and emotionally INVESTED the whole time. You can tell it’s still in Early Access, but even now it feels so solid and well-made. The only problem? It’s not finished yet. Only two chapters are out right now, and when I reached the end I was like, “HUH? THAT’S IT???” 😭😭 I wanted more!! I seriously can’t wait for the next updates. It’s such a promising game!! the story, the tension, and the feeling that your choices actually matter make it unforgettable. ⭐ Rating: 9/10 for now (definitely 10/10 once it’s complete!) 🎲 Best part: The thrill of not knowing what will change each loop 🕐 Worst part: Having to wait because I was totally left hanging IN CONCLUSION: Kill The Clock is one of those rare indie games that truly surprises you. It’s clever, mysterious, and full of replay value. Even though it’s still incomplete, it already feels so immersive and unique. I genuinely loved every minute of it <3 the only problem is that there weren’t enough minutes! 😭 If you enjoy story-driven games, time loops, and decision-making with real consequences, this one is ABSOLUTELY worth your time. I’ll definitely be waiting (impatiently!) for the next chapters. P.S: I REALLY LIKED the journal concept where we can just freely put our detective notes on there. It just adds up to the immersion :3 luv it!!
