Editors' Review
CLICKOLDING invites players into a deeply unsettling narrative experience, centered around the simple act of pressing a tally counter to appease a mysterious, masked figure who sits silently in the corner of your hotel room.
The game's premise is deceptively simple, but the tension it builds and the psychological impact it delivers are anything but.
The story of CLICKOLDING is designed to be experienced in one sitting, allowing players to fully immerse themselves in the psychological horror unfolding around them.
The game’s narrative centers on the decision to stay in the room and continue thumbing the tally counter or to leave—without any possibility of return. This binary choice slowly unravels the psyche of both the player and the masked figure, creating a suffocating atmosphere of dread. Each click brings you closer to something dark and unknown, but leaving might deny you something just as crucial.
Beyond the confines of the room is an even stranger encounter with the Original Clickold. This encounter transports the player into a surreal realm that defies conventional space and thought, heightening the existential dread that permeates the game. It's in this realm that the game’s psychological horror shifts into a more abstract, philosophical terror, leaving players questioning reality and their role within it.
CLICKOLDING is a visual and auditory experience as much as it is a narrative one. The game’s visuals, while simple, are polished and steeped in a mature, ominous tone.
Every object and detail, including the “lovingly detailed 3D tally counter,” is carefully crafted to maintain the eerie atmosphere. Complementing this is a weird, unsettling jazz soundtrack composed by RJ Lake, known for his work on "Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator."
The music creates a backdrop of discomfort, amplifying the tension of each moment.
The game isn't for the faint of heart. The developers make it clear that CLICKOLDING contains mature themes, including suggestive language and depictions of suicide. These dark elements are woven into the game's psychological fabric, making it an intense experience for those who delve into its unsettling world.
Bottom Line
CLICKOLDING stands out for its minimalist gameplay and deep psychological storytelling. The act of pressing a tally counter becomes a disturbing symbol of existential dread, and the encounter with the Original Clickold expands the horror into something much more surreal and unsettling.
For fans of one-sitting horror games, CLICKOLDING offers an engrossing yet deeply disturbing journey into the unknown.
