From here, the player may choose to take up Klogg's offer or take the crown to revive Hoborg. Klogg tries to dissuade Klaymen from reviving Hoborg by tempting him with Hoborg's crown. Afterwards, Klaymen manages to enter the throne room, with Klogg and a motionless Hoborg waiting for him. The story ends with Willie giving Klaymen the throne room key through the terminal screen, hoping that Klaymen knows what to do once he confronts Klogg. Willie takes the seed and plants it far away from Klogg, with Willie hoping that whoever grew from the seed would defeat Klogg. Having witnessed this, Willie (himself and Bil being creations of Hoborg's brother Ottoborg) discovers that Hoborg was about to plant a seed to create another companion. With Hoborg lifeless, any further development of the Neverhood ground to a halt. Envious, Klogg manages to steal Hoborg's crown, rendering Hoborg inert in the process, and the crown's energies disfigure Klogg. As Hoborg welcomes Klogg to the Neverhood, the latter tries to take Hoborg's crown, which Hoborg forbids Klogg from doing. Realizing that he was still alone, Hoborg creates himself a companion by planting a seed into the ground, which grows into Klogg.

Alone in Klogg's castle, Klaymen finds the last of Willie's discs, revealing the full context of his tale the Neverhood itself is the creation of a godlike being named Hoborg, who created the Neverhood in the hopes of making himself happy. Klaymen manages to get in, but Bil loses his footing and falls into the void with Willie still inside. The two giants clash and Bil proves victorious, but as he forces open the castle door for Klaymen to enter, Klogg gravely injures Bil by firing a cannon at him.
Eventually, Klaymen's quest directs him to Klogg's castle, and for this Klaymen enlists the help of Big Robot Bil, a towering automaton and a friend of Willie's.Īs Bil (with Klaymen and Willie on board) marches to Klogg's castle, Klogg unleashes his guardian, the Clockwork Beast, to intercept Bil. As Klaymen travels the Neverhood, he occasionally crosses paths with Willie, who agrees to help him in his journey, while Klogg spies on them from afar. The game begins with Klaymen waking up in a room and exploring the Neverhood, collecting various discs appearing to contain a disjointed story narrated by Willie (which Klaymen can view through various terminals scattered throughout the land). Much of the game's background information is limited to the 'Hall Of Records' which is notorious for its length, taking several minutes to travel from one end of the hall to the other.
However, the Neverhood itself is strangely deserted, with its only inhabitants being Klaymen (the main protagonist and player character), Willie Trombone (a dim individual who assists Klaymen in his travels), Klogg (the game's antagonist who resembles a warped version of Klaymen), and various fauna that inhabit the Neverhood (most infamously the 'weasels', monstrous, crablike creatures that pursue Klaymen and Willie at certain points in the game). The titular Neverhood is a surreal landscape dotted with buildings and other hints of life, all suspended above an endless void. There are possible gameovers if the player isn't careful enough, with one where the game cannot be restored from a previous save and must be restarted. Klaymen must use the available environment in order to advance in the game, with the standard inventory being quasi-absent. The Neverhood is a point-and-click adventure game which emphasizes the solving of puzzles through character action rather than inventory usage. In addition to being unique, The Neverhood aimed at being quirky and humorous, as is evident by the characters, the music, and the plot sequence of the game.
As the player advances through different areas of the game, there are various video sequences that help advance the plot. The gameplay consists mostly of the player guiding the main character Klaymen around and solving puzzles to advance in the game. When the game was originally released, it was unique in that all of its animation was done entirely in claymation, including all of the sets, rather than 2- or 3-dimensional computer graphics, like many other games at its time. The game follows the adventure of a claymation character named Klaymen as he discovers his origins and his purpose in a world made entirely out of clay. and published by DreamWorks Interactive for Microsoft Windows.
The Neverhood (released in Japan as Klaymen Klaymen: The Mystery of Neverhood and referred to in the English version's intro as The Neverhood Chronicles) is a 1996 point-and-click adventure video game developed by The Neverhood, Inc.
