Cockwork Industries Complete

I've gone back and forth several times whether i should recommend this game or not, but in the end, I don't think i can... The animations are really good and they obviously tried to put some fun gameplay mechanics in here but they just didn't pan out. Way too many annoyances and bad game design choices for me to recommend this to anyone in good conscience. First major issue is the fact that they really make it difficult for you to romance the ladies. They DO have a game guide on the menu which helps but that itself is kinda annoying to have to keep looking at because they don't give many intuitive hints as to what needs to be done and you can't exit the guide by pressing ESC, you have to click out of it (which doesn't sound like a big deal, but does get annoying after a while). Then there's the fact that you can only get 1-3(max) girls scenes per playthrough. And 2 of those girls are always the same. So the next playthrough you can't get 3 different girls you can get 1 different one and the same 2. Next we have the INSANE choice of the sex mini games... I've never seen something this ludicrous in a game. So they have this "foreplay" mini game where you have to straight-up guess wh…

its very short game that you replay multiple times to get different endings. the story isn't particularly interesting. the scenes arent particularly interesting

Not a good game. The graphics were okay, but that was about it. I was stuck during a few parts, not knowing what I was supposed to do and then the game felt really fast as well. I feel like the devs bank on people replaying the game multiple times. I chose not to do that because it wasn't fun the first time.

I had a lot of fun with this one! Lots of fun personalities, secrets, things to explore. I had to lean on the guide because not everything was super obvious, but it was definitely a fun journey!

Originally wrote a negative review - the mechanics are a bit finicky and weird. Hiring a good QC and good UX person would have been a good idea. However the chicks + 1 guy were all really hot and sexy. Its a super short game - so if you do buy - buy on a deep discount.
