I was obsessed with this clay game. I'm wondering who else has played it.

Great game with great character, great plot, great world and great humor.

It got a lot of buzz when it came out and was actually quite popular from what I recall. I wouldn't call this obscure.

 

Great game too, looked incredible when it came out and still does.

Except for Ross Scott, of course.

Ross is not a person on Accursed Farms. He is a God.

Good point, Kirk...

Played it, very good game of my younger years, never beat the monster when I found it.... got stuck.

 

I remember walking forever to the right at one point too.

I love that game so much! I've played it through 100 or more times.

I remember when I first played it as a kid. I used paper and pencil to solve the harder puzzles. Oh, and I played it on a windows 95 which frozed and got a bsod when I clicked too much on the apple tree. On windows 98 it got the blurping audio into infinite loop and the game got frozen. That was hilarious for the first time.

Nowadays I play games on wine. And it seems the games are running more reliable and dx9 games a bit faster than on any windows os.

Btw, there's a sequel called Skull Monkeys on the PSX. I beat that game too on an emulator (saving game states is useful). The game was a bit too hard sometimes, and it's a 2d platformer so totally different in gameplay. As for the story and the video cutscenes it was good, enjoyable, but shorter. Much shorter.

My favourite cutscene from the Neverhood chronicles is the robot bill part.

Interesting to see a Linux user on the forum. I assume most are Windows users.

 

Anyway, I remember trying it because a guy installed it on the class computer in junior high.

Yeah, you're right. This game is impossible to finish without using paper and pencil. Trust me

I had this demo on a same disc that had demos to Normality and another click-and-point Rock-music dude on a motorcycle game.

Was it Full Throttle by any chance?

That is one of the coolest kickstarters I have ever seen.

Yeah, looks like a spiritual sequel to Neverhood.
