So just to confirm the intended route is this: 1, go to red maze, 2, find pit room, 3 be chased out by something, 4, acquire clock hands, 5, loop back to pit :and this didn't work for me? (Presumably cause I am on joiplay or some similar such reason)
The chase can't happen until you get the clock hands normally, there is a guide someone made if you wanna rely on that for specific details
