The plot is excellent (once it quickens), the characters are deep and intriguing, and the gameplay is excellent. One puzzle links to something elsewhere within the world, and when Klaymen figures it out, everything fits together. They are challenging but not beyond total confusion. These puzzles are not extremely hard, as in a similar game, Riven. There is exploration and there are puzzles, and plenty of them. When Klaymen's ultimate journey begins, there is no plot. Klaymen learns of the past as he continues ahead (on to his and the Neverhood's fate). While the game lacks a solid story when you start, it builds up as if the storyline stretches out to the past and the future. The creators of this game put so much time, effort, and ability into creating Klaymen's world that, although I have played through the game literally five or more times over, I am still amazed. Only two words can describe this fantastic frenzy of a fun and frisky form of gaming: "Wow" and "Excellent".
The neverhood game trailer Pc#
The Neverhood is a gloriously entertaining, freaky PC platform game that I highly recommend. Sure, you can laugh at most of the sequences - but this is best enjoyed by adults or teens, especially since it is so damn difficult. To emphasize this, there is also a weird out-of-place musical score by Terry Scott Taylor that sounds like it either belongs in a fun-house at a carnival, or it simply sounds like nothing you've ever heard. I say this because it genuinely freaked the hell out of me at several points and there is just an eerie, almost horror-like feeling shadowing the mood of the game-play. Although it may appear to be, I don't think that this game is for children.
A happy jingle starts playing, and Klaymen continues to wind it and suddenly it awakens this huge spider-like monster who comes barging through the wall OUT OF NOWHERE and starts chasing Klay and it is just the ugliest creature I have ever seen in a video game. A game sequence that has stuck with me is when Klayman finds and rewinds a musical box and it shifts to cinematic mode. Aside from featuring an involving and puzzling plot, The Neverhood is the funniest game ever to hit PC platform. Very soon it is evident that the world of Neverhood is an unusual one and the people (creatures) he encounters may not be what they appear to be. Klaymen collects stone-chips which he can insert in TVs which will then play for a bit to give more history of Neverhood. We follow Klaymen as our first-person player on his quest to explore Neverhood (a neighbourhood) and the more puzzles and tasks he completes, the more we get to know about the plot of the game in the form of his mission. In other words, this is a wacky, colourfully creative mess. No one can successfully capture the mood or style of The Neverhood in a few sentences, but think Wallace and Gromit claymation meets Tim Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, with a touch of Salvador Dali surrealism. Nevertheless, this is a fantastic wacky achievement by Dreamworks Studios, featuring childlike claymation and interface but adult-level difficulties in game-play, all interwoven with quirky elements. Perhaps this is because it is so different to any kind of game I have ever played and it takes a great deal of logic to unlock its many puzzles and mysteries if you expect to get anywhere in the game. The Neverhood is one of the most challenging single player games I have ever played, and it hurts me to admit that I never did manage to finish it by myself.
