We won an Aggie Award from Adventure Gamers for Best Writing - Comedy!

https://adventuregamers.com/articles/view/the-aggie-awards-the-best-adventure-games-of-2020/page3

We also got Runner-Up in a few different categories (which means we were one of 4 runners-up from a list of 196 eligible games): Readers' Choice For Best Writing - Comedy, Aggie Award For Best Concept, Readers' Choice for Best Concept, Aggie Award For Best Non-Traditional Adventure, Readers' Choice for Best Non-Traditional Adventure.

As I'm here, I'll also list some of the mentions we got at the end of 2020 in all the round-ups:

Golden Joystick Awards: Nominated for Best Indie Game Of The Year

Eurogamer's Readers' Top 50 Games Of The Year! (*cough* at 48 *cough*)

The Architect Of Game's "20 Games you should have played"

IndieGameiacs: Game Of The Year

Patrick Hancock for Destructoid: one of his 'Five games I wish everyone played in 2020'

The XBoxHub: "Arguably the best point and click adventure of the year"

Get Indie Gaming: Second Best Indie Game Of The Year
"Only the best indie game to our mind ever made has kept LOTCG from being our 2020 indie game of the year." (Dammit, Hades!)

CamronJK: Indie Game Of The Year

Tom Baines for Thumbsticks: Second Best Indie Game Of The Year.
"If not for Tom’s borderline unhealthy adoration for Final Fantasy VII, Lair of the Clockwork God would absolutely have been his pick for 2020. It’s that good." (Dammit, FFVII Remake!)

The Sixth Axis: Runner-Up Best Indie Game of The Year

Casey Explosion: Most underappreciated of 2020.
"That more people haven't been all over this is a crying shame. Part platformer, part point & click adventure, it's mechanically genius, had me crying with laughter at some points."

Sean Davies for Finger Guns: One of his best three indie games of the year.
"Ben and Dan have been on adventures with one another before but none so relentlessly funny, imaginative, occasionally serious and well designed as Clockwork God. This is their magnum opus and a game I think thoroughly deserves its place on this list."

A Most Agreeable Pasttime: One of their favourite games of the year.
"One of the funniest games I’ve ever played."


I've probably missed a few, and there were also a bunch of regular non-website-having folks mentioning it too, but I won't try to list those here! Very gratifying to see all these positive reactions :)

Hello!
Chiming in to say you guys are awesome! I finished Lair of the Clockwork God just a hour ago, and it is nothing less than great. I loved your other games, but this one easily takes the crown. It's enough -well, for me- to say it made me crack up the whole time, something nearly impossible lately (my sense of humor is... pretty hard to please, tbh).

I hope to see more Ben and Dan games in the future, keep on with your great work!

You have the prestigious Official Enebias Award™.

Hooray, thanks Enebias! If you get a sec, please post a rating/review on the store page!

Rated 5 out of 5 already, I'll try to find some time for a decent review. GOG allows only quite limited amounts of words, so I must make them count. :P

I missed this post. Congratulations! I wanted to write that LotCG and Katana Zero were the best video games of 2020. But it turns out that KZ was released in 2019. So I guess the crown goes to your game only. The crown given by some anonymous bloke on GOG forums, but nevertheless :)

Thanks for the great time! I'm looking forward to playing another Ben and Dan game.
For now I'm gonna buy another copy, this time for Switch, to support you with real money, not only with virtual jewellery for royal persons.
