About

Cog and Key is a 2D Puzzle Platformer inspired by the steampunk art style.  Using a mix of 3D (casted to 2D with a shader) and stylized 2D assets, Cog and Key takes inspiration while also shading it's own custom art style.

Story

The story is set in a dystopian steampunk world where industrialization has taken over. Humanity created clockwork automatons to take care of menial tasks, but their AI evolved into a hive mind that sees humans as disposable. As such, humanity has been pushed into the wilderness. Controlled by an AI Hivemind Spider, robots defend the territory they once peacefully shared.

Judith Frachel

The protagonist, Judith Frachel, aims to eliminate the source of the hive mind, a clockwork spider using oil to control the entities inside the clocktower, and deactivate the automatons. They possess a key that can interact with the automatons and parts of the environment to wind them up, lock them in place, or wind them in reverse.
