The Neverhood is a game I played as a child, possibly one of the first games I ever played. I think my dad had a demo disk which cut off after a while, and I played that section over and over until the full game came out, at which point it took both of us way too long to solve all the puzzles in a world where internet guides were far less comprehensive. The claymation animation is gorgeous, the puzzles are mixed but generally solid and unique enough to keep you engaged, and despite being a relatively simple bible story written by a notorious bigot, there are literally no women in it so the game ends in a gay paradise where only himbos exist.
It has aged somewhat, most notably in said notorious bigot creator, but I honestly still love this game and I'm glad that SkummVM means it and many other games are still playable on modern PCs.
Also it's still significantly better than it's spiritual successor, Armikrog. Armikrog is very bad.
