Smooth Locomotion!
We’re happy to announce that we’ve added the option for smooth locomotion to The Last Clockwinder! This has been a top priority since launch, and we’re excited to make it available to everyone in the latest update.
With smooth locomotion, you’ll be able to directly control your movements in game, giving you more freedom to play and explore.
You can find the option to switch between teleportation and smooth locomotion in the settings panel, along with controls for adjusting move and turn speed.
We hope you enjoy zooming around, and please reach out to us if you encounter any issues!

Virtual Desktop Support
I'm happy to announce that we've enabled full support for Virtual Desktop and you can now play The Last Clockwinder on your Oculus Quest or Quest 2 using Virtual Desktop streaming. Because of this, we're upgrading our support tier for Virtual Desktop to "Supported (Best Effort)"
What does that mean?
Essentially, Virtual Desktop is a 3rd party tool. It could be changed at any time that breaks support for our game, so we can't make any promises. We will make our best effort to keep the platform supported, though, and please let us know if it's not working!

It’s time, The Last Clockwinder is out now and we’re so excited for you all to journey to the clocktower.
None of this would have been possible without the amazing support of our partners (hello Cyan Ventures and Robot Teddy) and of course the incredible support from our playtesters and community. Thank you, all of you.
We’ll be here on the Steam forums (and Discord) if you need us.
We can’t wait to hear what you think!
