The Watchmaker, a Steampunk Puzzler About Time

Talk to me about a game set in a clock tower and I'm already sold. The Watchmaker is a steampunk puzzler game developed by Micropsia Games and starring Alexander, a time-obsessed individual that ensures every piece of the majestic clock in his clock tower is running perfectly. 

What's unique, aside from the game itself, is Alexander doesn't take damage from enemies. Instead, he ages. Health isn't some magical bar that is refilled upon collecting pizza or chanting a mantra. Death comes swiftly by an accelerated aging process that can only be escaped by collecting time. Now if we could only do that...

Regardless, there's a mystery to be solved with the clock tower's past, and Alexander sets out to fight against a horde of baddies and puzzles that intend on taking down the tower.
