Clickolding is an upcoming adventure video game developed by Strange Scaffold and published by Outersloth.
Gameplay
editThe gameplay is built around clicking a four-digit tally counter up to its limit.
Plot
editThe game begins with the player alone in a motel room with a masked man (referred to as "the Clickold"), who presents them with tally counter. The Clickold orders the player to reset the counter by clicking it up to its limits, promising to afterwards pay them the $14,000 they need for a medical procedure. The players clicks, the Clickold stops them at odd intervals and gives them arbitrary orders, often using suggestive language.
Development
editClickolding was developed by Strange Scaffold, the creators of El Paso, Elsewhere. It is among the first video games to be funded by Outersloth, a new indie label created by Innersloth.[1] Game director Xalavier Nelson Jr. described Clickolding as "a dark incremental narrative game about tally counters, motels, and uncomfortable vulnerability with people you don't wish to fully know." Outersloth's official website would state, "They pitched such an unhinged and unsettling story it made an entire room erupt and somehow that ended up with them getting funding."[2] The game spent only two months in development.
The game is composed by RJ Lake.[3]
