and it gave me quite a headache.Īs in The 7th Guest, the puzzles in The Neverhood bear no real relation to the story at hand - they have more in common with bar bets or the logic problems you might find in Games magazine, except much more pointless and repetitive. This damned thing spans 38 (yes, thirty-eight) rooms, and believe it or not, I actually spent a few hours reading it all. The most annoying part of the game is the room with the wall that goes on to infinity, the wall of which has the entire "bible" of the klay world (klay universe?) in it.
Unfortunately for all its graphical originality, puzzles in The Neverhood is nowhere near as creative.
The game is extremely appealing to all family members, and is a lot of fun to play with. Rooms and puzzles are played from a third person perspective, while moving from one place to another takes form in FMV cut scenes in first person. You play the role of Klayman you wake up in a room, and you have to figure what to do from there. Instead of using cartoons or computer animation, they built the entire set of the game with 2 tons of clay! Quite an achievement in any media, and the result is nothing short of amazing. The Neverhood is one of the most original adventure games ever made, and one of the prime examples of how an ultra-slick style is sometimes enough to carry the game, even though we all know that substance is more important than style.
