Delightful. Outerwilds meets A Short Hike. Only issue I have with it is the platforming can be a little jank with the perspective, otherwise was a breeze to play through and only needed a guide for the secret ending

Fuck therapy, need some ducks that can time travel to tell me what's up.

thought it would be a fun little game to try. Can't even be bothered to finish it.

Pocket watch is a cute duck game where the lives of an entire village are in the hands of you: a no thoughts head empty duck when the island's volcano threatens to destroy them all!!! But luckily you have a secret weapon: Namely a magical pocket watch with which you can rewind time!!

I wasn't sure if it was a good idea to buy this, because this is a time limited game (kinda) and on my first playthrough……. we all died. And also.. the second playthrough... (sorry I'm stupid) Then I pulled up a gameplay and I was like "OHH whoops" and was able to play the game properly.
The puzzles were quite easy, except that I had to ask for help for a couple of them, but that's because I'm dumbass. Anyways, the time limit aspect of the game pretty much ends as soon as you get the pocket watch, so this is more of a casual little puzzle game.

At the end of the day, I'm glad I bought it. It's nothing spectacular but it is a fun and charming little game and it's also cheap asf. Think they underpriced it

Nice!!! Humble and polite time-routine puzzle game that hits like if Majora's Mask was a vitamin gummy. Finicky platforming in an artstyle that spits in the face of depth perception and some genuinely frustrating UX made much of the game needlessly grating, but it's a nice wee thing overall. I'll never forget the absolute cold drip of Duck With Sunglasses & Fez. Love that they took the hideous 4xBRZ filter idiots use for SNES emulators and ran with it to create something cool and unique lookin overall.
