A Penny For Your Thoughts

As all of the city's Clockwork suddenly fall inert, Penelope Yin has a bad feeling as to the fate of her reluctantly accepted guardian brain-in-a-jar, the Clockwork King.

I've always wanted to know more about the Clockwork King - he tries so hard to be successful, like mysef and my grand sh - accomplishments. This arc by Frija creates a unique story where the player is almost literally flung into the story of the Clockwork King. It's beautifully written with dialog that perfectly fits Penelope Yin and an interesting, "What if?" backstory about the Clockwork King and Yin. You'll find yourself hunched over, reading each clue you get carefully - as well as wondering about what decision is truly the best one at the end of this fantastic arc.

The decision regarding what to do with this arc was easy enough for me, however - awarding it a Dev Choice! Congratulations Frija, you deserve it!

I remember this one, great dialogue and an interesting "What if" look at the Clock King since there is a bit of debate on CK's age. Was a good challenge and an emotional story!

Congrats! Very deserving of Dev Choice!

Wow, after a long day moving and unpacking, this was one heck of a surprise to find the moment I got my internet back up. Thanks to Dr. Aeon for DC'ing it, everyone who took the time to play it and for helping me fine-tune it, and to everyone saying grats!

Well deserved Dev choice. This is a great arc. Favorite part for me being the dream sequence where you hunt for the clues of the Clockworks kings past.

Frija did something similar but less elaborate in her arc Mercytown where you read diaries about an old cult. I loved that part and this one went way beyond that.

Gratz, Tangler. It's cool to see that some of the other arcs originally designed for the Dr. Aeon Challenge are also getting DC's.
