I search on google but not many guides to this game :(

I make a guide and upload it here on steam ( History of Artara clock puzzle ) but why no guides about achiviments? Its no guide at all.

But I think some achiviments are broken :(

The clock puzzle. You get all the information to the puzzle by simply reading the pedistals as you progress through the level, they are even numbered and highlight the information you need, it almost couldn't do more for you.

I think this "puzzle" is incredibly confusing and could be done better. In hindsight, the answer is obvious from the quest journal where the entry number is the number of the clock and the number within the entry is the hour. What makes this so confusing is that none of these are related to the "hints" next to each clock, which is why all of us are so confused. I think a much better way to do this would be adding the full book entry into the journal and potentially taking away the numbering prefix. For one, it preserves the lore that you just read which nobody remembers anymore by the time they get back to the clocks (making the hints kind of useless because the titles in the journal are not related to the hints). The other part is that you could let the player figure it out based on actual context.
