**Claus the Clock** is a character from the indie horror game, Andy's Apple Farm. He is one of Andy's close friends, along with Felix, Melody, and Margret.

## History

### As Arthur King

*Main Article: Arthur King*

Arthur King was the best friend of the game's developer, Thomas Eastwood. Throughout 1982, Thomas would gradually begin turning against his friend as an evil entity influenced Thomas. Arthur was suspected of foul actions by Thomas, such as engaging in an affair with his wife, Kamryn, and was even framed by Thomas for Kamryn and their daughter, Isabella, by setting fire to his home.

Becoming possessed by The Entity, Thomas would use an axe to brutally murder his best friend. It was then that Arthur was "brought back to life" after his regretful friend dragged him to his computer and allowed the Entity inside to take Arthur's spirit into Andy's Apple Farm as Claus the Clock. Claus is currently unaware of the paranormal ties between him and Arthur, much like the other five main characters.

### Chapter 1

*See also: Chapter 1#I Spy Game*
Claus was involved in stealing Andy's house key for unknown reasons, being one of the people Andy needs to play a minigame with and collect a Bonus Sticker from to get it back.

Claus planned to play Chess with Andy, but instead plays *I Spy* when Andy tells him he doesn't know how to play. After *spying* four objects: "Red" an apple, the barn house, or a picnic blanket, "Floating" a cloud or lilypad, "Growing" a baby tree, and "Dangerous" an axe, Claus awards Andy his Bonus Sticker.

After finishing all the minigames, Claus tells Andy his key is in the barn. Upon entering, Andy's friends lock him inside, much to his dismay.

### Christmas Special

Claus brings everyone's presents to Andy's house. Before opening them, Andy must hang the stockings and bake Margret's Apple Cookies. Afterward, everyone gathers to open their presents, Claus' being a Clock, allowing him to "finally be able to tell the time!". After Andy opens his present, that being the mutilated head of Kamryn, his friends suddenly vanish, presumably the result of Peter the Pumpkin.

* His game was going to be chess, but then M36games realized not everybody knows how to play chess and it'd be too difficult and too hard for newer players to understand.
