The Neverhood

[note: looking back at the article i've discovered that the game trailer is missing so i'm replacing the video... if you find it anywhere online pleaze buzz us to change it]

I’ve chosen the trailer here because it’s a presentation… not a presentation I like though: it focuses so much on marketing as an “adventure game” and not very much on the reason I believe this game is worthy of being pulled out from “game prehistoric times”, over a decade ago, right into the spotlight of a artsy gamer feature: this game is a trully unique piece. A game focusing on content, and a fascinating means of presentation. I mean it kinda makes sense: it’s made by a team of people who are all about the content: they didn’t rely on great hardware, they didn’t invent some amazing technology through programming, they focused on creating stuff! Not that it’s a bad thing to create digitally, on the contrary I think it’s an awesome environment, just that it’s great to get a guarantee that it’s about creating, not about the technology.

In short: The Neverhood is trully amazing:
- amazing animations
- amazing fresh look
- amazingly fresh story
- amazingly engaging and funny music
- amazing voices
- amazingly low hardware requirements for a full experience (yep, i’m talking for those times even)
- amazing story on the wall… like WOW amazing. I totally wasn’t expecting something so deep & big…
