'Clockwork is the story of Atto, a lonely mechanical boy in a great mechanical city. Atto lives amongst the factories that run day and night, fixing the machines and people that constantly break down. But then the trust pocketwatch he has owned for four hundred years suddenly wakes up, introduces itself as Milli, and gives him a quest. Milli says she can fix the city once and for all.

The city of Watchtower has stood for more than four hundred years, the last sign of civilization in a world destroyed by a deadly plague. When the disease came and plants and animals began to die, people retreated behind their high metal walls to wait. When they could not find a cure, and the water began to dry up, people built themselves metal bodies that would never grow sick and die. When the world was dead and poisoned and some realized that even a cure would not save them, the clanking, grinding mechanisms of Watchtower were all they had left.'
