The First Errata is Released
Interactions between characters is a key part of what makes this game so incredible. How different scripts feel with the selection of characters in play. Sometimes however, interactions are discovered that break the game, so Jinxes are added to smooth these out. As with many things, sometimes the Jinxes miss the mark, the most egregious…

One Day Games?
Recently, there have been a number of custom scripts being created with the intent of running a game which lasts exactly one day, where you get only a single execution and if the demon lives they win. I have seen this be achieved in 3 ways – a normal script, the Doomsayer or the Fiddler…

There is Always Another Game
Clocktower is a game of lying, of deceiving your friends and fellow players. Sometimes you are good and solve the game. Other times you are evil and pull the wool over the eyes of everyone. Those moments are great! But what about the times you don’t? A play backfires. The meta gets too strong to…
