(added official names of characters for multiple languages (english, spanish, german, and italian). I know this "Guías Nintendo" website looks very fishy, but their "aviso legal" confirms their canonicity: https://www.guiasnintendo.com/0_background/terminos/terminos_condiciones.html)

The player plays as an alarm clock who must wake up the mechanical pigeon in an old man's cuckoo clock at the right time. Each night, the pigeon requests a specific time for the player to wake up. A beat is then counted off, and the clock starts ticking from 1 o'clock. After roughly four beats, the screen fades out, requiring the player to count on their own. When the needed time is reached, the player must stop the clock. The pigeon then wakes up and checks the time.

This gets mixed up in various ways as the game progresses: sometimes the pigeon requests a time off the hour, and later on the music may cut out entirely. Sometimes, the music is played in swing rhythm, as well.
