The moment you begin your adventure, you are thrown into a room where you witness a being, known as Klaymen, awaken. You are given no real introduction to who Klaymen is, or what is going on in the world, but as you progress and explore you find cassettes strewn about, which contain information about the what the current state of the world is. This give the player an incentive to actually solve the many puzzles of the world to find these cassettes.
The puzzles themselves don't look too out of place because everything that the world is feels so organic. It doesn't look like it was built, but is appears that everything has this flow of natural growth.
The game's music is probably some of the most original music heard in a video game ever. The blues and jazz fit the quirky atmosphere of the Neverhood and it's cast of characters. On top of that, the animation of the clay-animated characters is very cartoonish and adds to the game's humor.
While the Neverhood is a childhood favorite of mine, the only complaint I have about it is that trying to play through it again is hard to do when you know exactly what to do.
Even with that in mind, the world you are thrown into is so utterly gorgeous, the puzzles are entertaining, the characters are wonderfully modeled, and the story, while nothing to new, is enjoyable. The Neverhood isn't just a puzzle game, it's art.
