Sweet Clockwork launches its time-loop romance

Sweet Clockwork launched on Steam on August 16, 2026. The mystery romance begins with a confession letter, a 6 PM death and a morning that immediately starts again.

Sweet Clockwork: confirmed details

A Time Travel Ring lets the protagonist repeat the school day, investigate changing friends and work through multiple bad endings. The developer describes one True Ending centered on saving I-on Moon, who has repeatedly sacrificed himself. The official page warns that the story includes violent death imagery. The official store listing credits Team D.T.R as developer and publisher.

What changed for players

The loop makes failed endings part of the investigation instead of treating them as disposable branches. Knowing that one route is definitive focuses each restart on new evidence, while the romance depends on understanding why protection has repeatedly ended in tragedy.

Availability and lasting context

Sweet Clockwork is listed as a released product rather than an Early Access build. Normal patches may still change performance, balance and interface details after launch. The confirmed release supports Windows and macOS. Store availability and supported languages can vary by account region. Pricing, online availability and later updates should be checked on the live store page rather than treated as permanent facts.

This report separates features released on the stated date from later patches and community expectations. Balance values and platform support can change, but the documented release history remains the same.
