An underrated gem
Entirely modeled in clay frame by frame, this adventure game radiates a visual charm no other can match, between zany puzzles and cartoon humor. The point-and-click genre and its niche platform left it on the margins. Its unique aesthetic and delirious world make it a delightful curiosity for fans of offbeat adventures.
Is Klaymen Klaymen - Neverhood no Nazo still worth playing in 2026?
The Japanese edition of The Neverhood, this point and click from Doug TenNapel stands out for its world entirely sculpted in clay, frame by frame, of striking visual inventiveness. The offbeat puzzles, the absurd humour and the wacky soundtrack create a one of a kind experience. The contemplative pace and some obscure puzzles call for perseverance. A cult adventure work for fans of claymation, singular design and out of the ordinary puzzle games.
