There's no other game like this!! I still remember my cousin's scratched CD crashing almost at the end of that one super long walk, I'm sure everyone who played the game know exactly which location I have in mind. What would I give to relive it! (without the crash of course)

The scene of opening the doors with a huge hammer has been imprinted in my memory for years, and I don't think it will ever come out. Gameplay wise this game is nothing special, it is a standard Point'N'Click Adventure game. However, the atmosphere and the abstract sense of humor that oozes from every possible nook and cranny make this game a one of a kind experience. I had an opportunity to replay it a few years ago, and it is even better then I remembered.

I own this game, on CD. It still works, but, in my humble opinion, we need more ways to play this absolute masterpiece, and I'd be very glad to see it conserved on GOG! I've been in love with this game ever since hearing about it as a kid, and it's amazing. It's not perfect, by any means, but it's lovingly made, and the charme is just something else. The graphics are one of a kind, a bit unnerving maybe, but just wonderful. It's desolate atmosphere is directly countered by Terry Scott Taylor's amazing work, the soundtrack is one of a kind and yes, it may be the weirdest stuff you'll ever listen to, but you know what? That only makes it way better. PLEASE, PLEASE get this game on GOG! I promise, people will love exploring the world of The Neverhood!

I think I only played this once while visiting my cousins. I spent hours on it and never finished, but it left a big impression. I’m not sure if it was the crazy visuals or the tough (for a kid) puzzles, but I’d love to revisit it when it’s on GOG.

This game is one of a kind. Released at the tail end of the golden era of point & click adventures, it had everything--great puzzles, amazingly bizarre soundtrack, fun exploration, weird story, unique animation style, and a ton of humor & heart. I must have played the demo 100 times before saving my pennies and ordering the CD-ROM (one of the first games I bought for myself in my youth)!

This was one of my first ever games and it was (still is) fantastic. Love the clay visuals (all 3 tons of it), the soundtrack, silly moments and animation. Some puzzles were tough but the still fun. Would be great to have it in my digital collection.

Played the demo for this on my dad's computer and I remember feeling something akin to dread once you entered the exterior and the perspective shifted to first-person. The world in Neverhood felt simultaneously goofy and hostile, and it stayed with me forever. At a technical level, the sheer artistry that went into the set pieces, design, and music are more than worthy of preservation, they're worthy of celebration.

This was a game I grew up with. I first played it on my cousin's pc. He gave me his copy of The Neverhood. It was NOTHING like I ever seen before. The charm, the humor, the art style is what grabbed me.

I always followed my older brother’s lead as a child. He introduced me to click adventures and all sorts of art styles as he’s quite the creative type. He showed me The Neverhood when I was eleven in 2001. We had an old computer so we had to stick to games we could run. This game hit right when I was developing as a person and stuck with me. I listen to the soundtrack regularly and I’ve shown my kids the game and they love it so much they ask to listen to the music in the car.
