About Wind Up

Let's enter the wonderful world of Wind Up! In this haunted castle, you will get suspicious of each other as clockwork dolls. Here you will experience——

※Day-Night Cycle


The day is clockwork dolls' home field, while the night is the stage of the imposters. Judge the situation to gain advantages for your team.

※Cooperation and Escape


Work together to complete the tasks, find the exit, and race against time to escape from the castle. Enjoy the sense of accomplishment brought by the teamwork!

※Hunt and Survival


Imposters will show their true appearances and kill clockwork dolls when night falls. Clockwork dolls need to use all means to survive. An exciting chase will happen at night!

※Hotly Debate


During the day, clockwork dolls have the right to hold a meeting to accuse someone. You can argue fiercely, and persuade others to vote for your rivals and expel them.

This game cannot be played as intended.[/quote] This was an interesting, if unappealing concept. The core game loop is a ripoff of Among Us, a social deduction/Werewolf/Mafia clone combined with some busywork minigame activities, but instead of spacemen and an alien, you're a bunch of clockwork dungeon crawlers(????). I don't know anyone who desperately wanted to play a contentless PvP game but with clockwork thingies. Maybe a focus group beyond the drunks at the bar would be a good idea before committing quite a bit of effort in making a game nobody wants (and credit where it's due, at least the technical implementation here isn't garbage, rather rare in the "free" section of Steam). So, "Wind Up" is a dead PvP game. Why did it fail? It's video game autopsy time! [i]Almost every PvP exclusive game on Steam fails.[/i] Only a tiny proportion of them "go viral".

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
