In the extremely rare event I cannot get this title to work on your system I will take it back for a full refund. All I ask is minimal assistance from you during the troubleshooting process. The Game The Neverhood’s unique look, done entirely in claymation stop-frame animation, required over two tons of clay and hundreds of thousands of man-hours to create the wonderfully wacky world of The Neverhood. The animation is universally excellent and the cartoon theme allows for lots of humor, like when our hero Klayman gets pancake-flattened by the classic spring-loaded boxing glove, or when his eyes bulge to eight times their normal size when he is being chased by a hideous weasel-monster. While there aren’t many belly laughs in this game, there are so many grins and chuckles that you can’t help but enjoy yourself thoroughly. Another part of the uniqueness of the game’s look is that the perspective switches back and forth from 1st to 3rd person. Whenever you are outside, the view is 1st person, and this is where my complaint with the graphics is. On my computer, the resolution during the first person portions was very grainy and pixilated. This was especially true during the “tracking shots” as you moved from node to node. No amount of messing around with my settings could improve this. Given how wonderful the rest of the game looked, this was a real disappointment, especially when the same problem occurred during some of the few cutscenes in the game. This ceases to be a problem, however, when Klayman enters a building (or his wacky car-cum-minecart-cum-rollercoaster) and the perspective changes to a side-scrolling third person view. These areas were sharp and detailed. Another unique factor of The Neverhood is that there is no reading or dialogue. Well, actually there is a lot of reading and dialogue. Except there’s not really. It’s hard to explain without getting into what the game is about. And what is The Neverhood about? Life. The Universe. Everything. It seems that the Neverhood was created by one of the “Old Gods,” who now lies comatose in his castle because his first “man” stole some of his magic and tried to usurp his power. The creation legend of the Neverhood was recorded on a series of videotapes by the mysterious Willie Trombone, your will-o’-the-wisp guide through the world. These tapes have been scattered throughout the land. It is your job to find these tapes and reassemble them in the proper order so you can learn the story of the Neverhood’s (and your own) creation and your place and purpose in this strange world. Until the very end of the game, the tapes provide the only dialogue in there is. Televisions are placed at various locations to let you watch the fragments of the tale that you have found and give you a general idea of how much of the game you have completed. The only reading in the game is in the massive Hall of Records. This is an enormous historical museum/library, the walls of which are inscribed with the legends of all of the Old Gods. I think I counted 26 screens of length in the Hall of Records, and each screen has four panels of reading material. Actually reading all of this would take almost as long as playing the game itself. Luckily for the player, while all of this written material is funny, not one word of it has any relevance to playing the game. You can ignore it completely if you choose. Or, since the Hall of Records is accessible at the beginning of the game, you can play through the game and then start a new game to go back and read it all at your leisure. Given that there is no dialogue (or, indeed, other characters to talk to even if you felt so inclined) you can probably guess that The Neverhood is a puzzle-based game. There is a wealth of puzzles here, ranging from pretty easy to real head-scratchers. They are all fresh, original, and downright FUN! Even the game’s maze is presented with a fresh twist: a bunch of interconnecting grooves on a cliff face along which Klayman must navigate his… errr… personal transport device. While this maze is fairly large, you get to navigate it in a few easy- to-swallow chunks, and even the “dead ends” provide you with clues or necessary inventory items. There are some inventory puzzles, but they are the minority and your inventory is never more than a couple of items. Most of the puzzles are of the logic or environment manipulation type, and I found them to be a blast to tinker with, even when I failed. There are so many light comic touches and details in this game that just attempting a puzzle can be almost as fun as actually solving it. Note: My compatibility CD does not alter the retail game or bypass copy protection. It allows the original media to install and run correctly on any recent version of Windows.
