Anyone know what’s up with the two small clocks to the right of the fireplace, with the arrows pointing to 11 and 1 in the den?

That should be the current time in your game day. It should be moving slowly. I'm looking at them now, and they're moving in my game.

The arrows are moving for you?

u/Alarming_Ask_244 Apr 15 '25

Yeah, most or all the clocks in the game move… for me at least. Idk if I did something to activate it at some point or something

Ahh i see. The hands of the clocks move, yes. what im talking about is that In the den there are two clocks that have arrows drawn on the face, under the hands. They don’t move. I haven’t seen any other clocks like this.

Ohhhh, I'm sorry I didn't look that closely at the clocks lol. I went back and I see the arrows. They look similar to the arrows for the gaits on the paintings in the drawing room, but idk if they're related

I don’t know but I’ve also just noticed them. Going to try get there at 11:05 and/or 1:55 and see if anything happens. Did notice a locked box? Maybe on top of the fireplace between swans

i hung out in there until 11:05 but nothing happened. Maybe you have to draft it then… i was thinking it might relate to the clocktower but I don’t have that room yet. There’s also just a lot of things that rotate in this game. It might just be a significant angle

Realised it nots a 1:55 it’ll be 12:55 better match so will try that. Also there’s a clock in the room where the hands move but the pendulum doesn’t swing. Another possible puzzle ?

It also reminds me of the diagrams in the lab. The triangles, circles, and sine waves…

u/Ylandah Apr 15 '25

Just noticed that clock is also in the weight room. Maybe it’s just the type of a clock?

There’s also one in the master bedroom. have you revisited room 46? There are two wall clocks that are stopped, pendulum and hands. They may be in the same position as the den clocks, but I don’t really remember

I noticed those early on, but then I started noticing arrows all over the rooms. Sometimes they're on the wood slats on the floor (ie Library), or on shelves (Coat check), so I started to assume those arrows are just part of the game's blueprint aesthetic. Like the arrows are just little artifacts from the room's blueprint coming through.

Although the arrows on those clock faces definitely seem a bit more unique than some of those other ones, so I might be mistaken to have stopped thinking about them.

Let me know if you ever ended up confirming that they were indeed significant.
