September 29, 2025

Rogue Snail, the Brazilian indie studio behind the hit roguelike Action RPG Hell Clock, today released a major update: “Clockmaker’s Tools.” This brings crafting to the game for the first time as well as numerous Quality of Life improvements and a significant gameplay rebalance. 

The Clockmaker’s Tools update is now live on Steam, and Hell Clock is currently 20% of during the Steam Autumn Sale. Check out the trailer and gameplay overview: 

Here’s more on what’s new in this update: 

  • Crafting System - new Tools to reroll, enhance, imbue, and even corrupt Relics. 
  • Conviction & Evasion Reworks - new caps, new decay, and changes to ground effects for better balance.
  • Better Boss Fights - Curse system punishes you for tanking hits; no more bullet sponge bosses.
  • Void World Tier - brutal new endgame challenge. 
  • Better Build Variety - buffs to underused skills, toned-down outliers, more viable builds across the board. 
  • Tons of QoL - loadouts, stash, Relic searching, visual clarity, death recap, and more.

Dive deeper into this update on the Hell Clock Steam blog: 

Hell Clock combines the RPG depth of Diablo and Path of Exile with the speed and one-more-run nature of a roguelike. Forge powerful builds with endless loot in this relentless combination of both genres, blasting through dungeons, forging unstoppable builds, and unleashing hellish powers in a race against the clock. Made by a Brazilian development team and steeped in Brazilian culture and history, Hell Clock is a dark re-telling of the real story of the 1896 Canudos Massacre.
