About Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy
Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy follows Amadeus the Wizard, Zoya the Thief, and Pontius the Knight as they confront a Clockwork army that threatens their world. Their reputations are tarnished, loved ones are in danger, and their magical powers hang in the balance.
The game expands the classic 2.5D puzzle‑platform formula with richer visuals, a new combat system, and a skill‑quest progression that deepens each hero’s abilities. Players can adventure alone or with up to three friends in local or online co‑op, while an adaptive difficulty keeps the experience fresh.
