As Bil (with Klaymen and Willie on board) marches to Klogg's castle, Klogg unleashes his guardian, the Clockwork Beast, to intercept Bil. 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. 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. It received a sequel in 1998, Skullmonkeys, which was a platform game, abandoning the adventure format of the original. 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. The gameplay consists mostly of guiding the main character Klaymen around and solving puzzles to advance. 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. 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) is a 1996 point-and-click adventure video game developed by The Neverhood, Inc.
