A point-and-click adventure and a platformer walk into the same game. Only one of them thinks that's a good idea. Limited Run #437: Lair of the Clockwork God Collector's Edition for PS4 packages Size Five Games' brilliantly meta comedy into the kind of physical release that matches the game's own absurd ambition.

The reversible cover lets you choose your display personality. The original soundtrack preserves Dan Marshall's audio work in physical form. The manual is a callback to an era when reading instructions was part of the experience, and the art cards showcase the game's distinctive visual style. Ben's Journal is the standout here, an in-universe prop that gives you a tangible connection to one of the game's two protagonists and his increasingly unhinged perspective on events. The 9x7 canvas print elevates a piece of game art into something you'd actually hang on a wall, the 18" x 24" poster rounds out the display options, and the pin ties the whole package together.

Lair of the Clockwork God is the kind of game that earns a cult following through sheer force of personality. It's self-aware without being insufferable, funny without sacrificing gameplay, and genuinely clever about its genre-blending premise. This PS4 collector's edition treats it with the seriousness its comedy deserves. If you collect indie physical releases, this one's got more character than most AAA boxes twice its size.
