There is indeed a distressing masked man sitting in the corner of a hotel room demanding that you click a tally counter. There\u2019s something\u2026 violent and almost sexual about the whole thing. What happens when you click enough? Do you get a bag of money? Does he explode? Do you explode? Does it turn into a new entry in the Saw franchise? I guess we\u2019ll find out on July 16, which is when the game is set to release on PC.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, clickers aren\u2019t exactly high art, but this one is developed by Strange Scaffold, the company behind <a data-i13n=\"cpos:3;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/even-the-indie-game-el-paso-elsewhere-is-getting-turned-into-a-movie-191423219.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:El Paso, Elsewhere;cpos:3;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \"><em>El Paso, Elsewhere<\/em><\/a>, <em>I Am Your Beast<\/em> and <em>Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator<\/em>, among others. So we have some hope that the game could turn the simple clicking formula into something unique. It\u2019s also being published by Outersloth, an indie game fund started by the creators of <em>Among Us<\/em>. With that pedigree, there\u2019s no way <em>Clickolding<\/em> ends up being a standard clicker. Did we mention the creepy guy in the corner? He also has a gun.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s rare that a clicking game becomes a bona-fide phenomenon, but it&#8217;s not unheard of. Just last week, one called <em>Banana<\/em> <a data-i13n=\"cpos:4;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/one-of-the-biggest-games-on-steam-right-now-is-a-clickable-banana-190058749.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:rose to the top of the Steam charts;cpos:4;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">rose to the top of the Steam charts<\/a>.
