The Neverhood Inc. Was a video game/claymation studio that featured Doug TenNapel, best known for creating Earthworm Jim. The studio was founded in 1996 and shut down in 1999. Will they make another Neverhood? I know there have been some 'sequels', but at the risk of being rude.i just like the original game personally. I wonder if they have talked about a new game. I wonder also if the new game would use clay or just computer graphics-is it possible to get the same look as the original game if you use computer graphics?
A claymation adventure, unique, with great puzzles
The Neverhood Mac
At the time when this game was released the claymation technique used for the animations and world building that the game is based on, was a first for a game. Today few games ever go that road, and in the past about a handful adventures have been using similar methods. Yes, the end result is a surreal, impressionistic type of deal, a work of art that is not something you'd usually get to see in a game, and so, if not for any other element, this is why you should play this game. However, The Neverhood is also a pretty well produced adventure, featuring the usual kind of things that make an adventure gamer tick; there are lots of puzzles, some that will test your endurance, and well, out of the box thinking (or, rather, how disposed you are at trying to combine things until something happens) as well as logic and find the object puzzles. The game also features really cool music, which adds to the weirdness of it, though, don't worry, it can be played by children without them having nightmares! So, yeah, hard to actually think of a similar game, but maybe Toonstruck offers something just as weird (though not as well executed, or that aged that well).
