Clockworks (it has no real name, though) was a bootleg scratch toy, sort of like those unofficial Undertale plushies you see. Basically, its purpose was to teach kids what time was. They'd press its nose and it would say specific sets of voicelines. Although, on one particular day, a report was made where it just started blaring out what sounded like cats screaming at the top of their lungs. This happened more often than not, leading to them being taken off the shelves. Whenever it did this, it would for some reason instantly change the hands to 6:06 PM (ooo scary). After further inspections, it was found that someone set the ashes of stray cats inside of the clocks, leading them to be cursed.
got this idea from those cat clock thingies
