What it is
Clickolding is a dark incremental narrative game from Strange Scaffold. Its central situation is deliberately narrow: a masked man in a hotel room watches as you use a tally counter, and leaving means forfeiting the money and being unable to return. The game frames this encounter as a one-sitting story, with a surreal meeting involving the Original Clickold. Listed features include a detailed 3D tally counter, weird jazz by composer RJ Lake, and a locked bathroom door. It is a single-player indie game, with Family Sharing listed among its Steam features. Strange Scaffold both develops and publishes it, alongside publisher Outersloth. Clickolding was released on July 16, 2024, for Windows. Its description focuses on the man wanting you to click the counter while he watches, rather than on a broader set of game modes.

Who it suits

Clickolding is focused on one strange hotel-room encounter and its tally-counter interaction. Its single-player format and Windows-only platform are clear constraints.
