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.

Best of the three

I really enjoyed the previous two games (Time Gentlemen, please!/Ben there, Dan that!) the devs made so buying this was a no brainer for me. However given the fact that this was supposed to be a hybrid (point and click and platformer) I was not sure how much of the humor (which is political as incorrect as it can get) I enjoyed so much in the predecessors would be in this one. A few minutes ago I finished the game (took me a bit over 13 hours) and I am happy that it still is a point and click at heart and it also still has the great humor I enjoyed so much. Those platforming sections though are not just there to make it a bit different, they are in fact sometimes quite challenging and even though there is the option to turn on "platform assist" to make platforming more easy you cannot skip them. That is the ONLY negative thing that I could point out. Everything else was top notch for me. If you play this game you really can expect the unexpected, You'll get regular puzzles, challenging ones and puzzles that are just mind blowing genious. I did not experience any moon logic. The platforming was fun most of the time, the frustrating bits were only a few ... and they are doable as well, just give it a bit time. It's also great that with new abilities you can do more and different platforming which makes it feel a bit like a metroidvania. The game will offer you quite a few surprises along the way and it's probably best to not tell too much about the content. I simply enjoyed it quite a lot and it for me it was the best of the three games they made. I am really hoping the devs will make another one. Highly recommended even if you are not an avid platformer.

Fun & Unique Combo of Mechanics

I love this game! I was unsure if the combination of platformer and point-and-click would work but it completely does. Switching back and forth between the stationary character and the platformer is fun and satisfying, and means unlike some point-and-clickers, you're almost never stuck wondering what to do; you can always switch to Dan and platform your way around until you can think of a solution or find something else in the environment. The humor is great, as always, and pokes fun at themselves more than anything, especially in the "clubbing" level, as well as ripping on the pay-to-win trend. Plus, I experienced a bug in the game and emailed Dan, and he was very quick to get back to me and help me fix the issue. You won't be disappointed with anything in this game! I was a big fan of the two earlier point-and-click games, Ben There, Dan That and Time Gentlemen, Please!, so this was an immediate purchase for me. If you like this give those a shot!

Fantastic adventure game

What a fantastic point and click adventure game smashed together with platformer. Humorous british banter between the developers-er-main-characters. Action packed, yet thoughtful puzzles as well. So much fun! If you love this standalone game, also check out their earlier games Ben There, Dan That, and Time Gentlemen, Please!

A Breath of Fresh Air

What a great adventure and speaking as much more of a Ben, even the platforming sections were fun :D I love the mix of both traditional and meta when it comes to both the jokes and puzzles. Well worth a purchase.

Fantastic blend of adventuring and platforming. Of course it's also very funny and full of genuinely clever moments.
