The great doors of the Clock Tower close with a resonant boom behind you. The air is cool and still, except for the constant, omnipresent ticking of countless clocks. The lights dim, and the shadows stretch and twist in the flickering candlelight.

what is this place? Looks around cautiously
The hall is vast, with spiraling staircases on either side. As your eyes adjust, you notice that some clocks run backwards, while others move forward at varying speeds. A large clock above the main door suddenly speeds up, its hands blurring, then abruptly stops at midnight. The room seems to grow colder as time itself feels like it's holding its breath.
Approaches the large clock to inspect it.
Takes the watch and examines it.
As you draw nearer, a small drawer unexpectedly slides open at the base of the clock, revealing an intricately carved watch. The tick-tock of the clocks intensifies, as if urging you to take the watch.
The watch is old and beautiful, with symbols around the dial that you don't recognize. It starts ticking loudly in your hand, synchronized with your heartbeat.
[Encounter with Future Wanderer] As you explore the east wing of the tower, a figure appears seemingly out of nowhere—a woman dressed in clothes that shimmer with a metallic sheen, her eyes wise and knowing.
Future Wanderer: "I see you've found one of the Timekeeper's artifacts. Be wary, for while it may help, it also binds you deeper to the tower’s fate. You must reach the zenith chamber before the final stroke of midnight if you hope to escape." points towards the center of the tower
What is the zenith chamber?
Future Wanderer: "The zenith chamber is the heart of this structure, where all time converges. There lies your path to freedom, though it is not without peril. The tower does not wish to release its claim on those it ensnares."
The lights flicker rapidly, and the sound of gears turning grows louder, as if the tower itself is reacting to the mention of the zenith chamber.
Future Wanderer: "Hurry now. Time is both your ally and your foe here. Use the watch to slow time when you need respite, but beware; each use draws more from your own time here."
The Wanderer fades away as mysteriously as she appeared, leaving you with more questions than answers.
