Overview
In CLOCKHEART The Dead Hour, the Master Clock of Albahora has stopped at 11:47 PM, freezing every soul in the city mid-motion. You play as Lucian, an apprentice clockmaker, who carries the last live second around his neck.
Your mission: climb the tower floor by floor, battle the Stilled—routines and regrets with nothing left to do but fight you—and restore time itself. This is a roguelike deckbuilder from AXONE GAMES, released on October 29, 2026, blending strategy, card battles, and a haunting steampunk atmosphere.
Highlights
- Living combat: Every character is fully animated. Enemies lunge across the floor, and impacts rumble differently depending on who strikes, making each battle feel visceral and dynamic.
- Rewind mechanic: Every defeat rewinds you to the door, but what you learn survives the rewind—a clever twist on roguelite progression that encourages experimentation.
- 58 cards: The game features a compact but focused card pool, allowing for deep deckbuilding without overwhelming complexity.
Who It's For
If you enjoy roguelike deckbuilders with a strong narrative hook, CLOCKHEART The Dead Hour offers a unique premise: a city frozen in time, a protagonist with a literal ticking second, and combat that feels alive. The steampunk aesthetic and the emotional weight of frozen moments—a wedding half-danced, a tear half-fallen—add a layer of melancholy that sets it apart from typical card battlers.
It's a single-player experience, perfect for those who like to take their time strategizing between runs.
