The sound effects are simple; featuring a nice variety of interactive noises, such as bells, oficers, and footsteps. Jazzy music enlivens the game's pace at key moments, but is thankfully absent when you're faced with perplexing situations like the hall of records that seems to go on forew that require deep concentration.
Challenging puzzles and situations will provide you with hours of play, and Klay-men and his cohorts supply plenty of character--thanks to superb claymation graphics. You'll wish the Neverhood would never end.
The Neverhood launched back in by Dreamworks Interactive. This back when the animation company was scouting to recruit new developers into their video game division. They came across a team called The Neverhood Inc. After leaving the studio behind Earthworm Jim 1 and Earthworm Jim 2 , you have to create something truly unique to make up for it.
So, is The Neverhood such a unique piece, enough to rival Earthworm Jim? Well, let's talk about that. The Neverhood, like many other games around those years, is a point-and-click based adventure. It takes us through an adventure in a crazy, unique world, as we control this weird character named Kleyman. Kleyman is a friendly clay being who ends up on a journey to save Hoborg, the creator of The Neverhood.
Klogg was also created by Hoborg, and even though he was friendly at the beginning his envy turned him against Hoborg and stealing his crown and becoming an evil king. It may sound a bit confusing, but actually, the game is pretty simple, and while it has a plot, there are no dialogues, not even text to explain it all. The Neverhood is a truly purely visual experience. This game is what they call a pre-rendered game. This means that the character models are scanned or directly transferred from different mediums into the game.
Many games around that time did this, like how the first Mortal Kombat games used photographs of real people and then covered them into sprites. Even Earthworm Jim did it, with hand-drawn sprites for creating the animations and art. In The Neverhood, the entire game is made in claymation. Rather than using computer-generated character sprites or levels, they are made with clay and photographed into the game. This gave it a unique 3D style , and it's excellent for life-like visuals without forcing the computer or game engine.
So yes, long story short, this game has everything to make it unique enough. The Neverhood is an excellent title, with a simple story and original world. Simplicity is key here, as there are no dialogues, but there's a lot of humor in there. It will surely make you smile and have a good time.
Solving puzzles and saving The Neverhood is an amazing adventure. Graphics and visuals: The game looks excellent, and thanks to the pre-rendered visuals it looks great even by today's standards.

The only solution for games that don't support windowed mode that I know is to use a window hooker like DxWnd that allows you to run games in windowed mode. AmiVicky 0 point. So I was able to get it to run, but for capturing purposes I want to stream this , is there any way I can change the resolution and volume? There are no volume settings in the game, and I can't get the game out of fullscreen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated :. Raymond Figueroa 1 point. Hello, i wanted to say something about this. Keep up the good Work. This is sadly why emulation is required these days; to archive the hard works of those game developers that gives them free exposure of their works but also to experiece those lost gems that cant be played through original hardware or physical means.
SO happy to finally find this game! For anyone having an issue with running on windows 10 see this tutorial on youtube, it got the game working for me! Thepancake 2 points.
