The Neverhood 1996

Is it still worth playing?

A 1996 point and click adventure for Windows, in which Klaymen, a claymation character, explores a clay world called the Neverhood to learn about his origins. He meets Willie Trombone, who agrees to help him. Puzzles are solved through the character's actions rather than inventory use, since the inventory is nearly absent, so you mostly guide Klaymen around the environment, with video sequences that move the plot along. All the animation, including the sets, was done in claymation, using over three tons of clay and a consumer digital camera, in about a year of development. Some game overs are possible, and one cannot be recovered from a previous save, so you have to restart. A puzzle is a matter of what Klaymen can do in the room you are in, which is simple to follow now.
