1. The Neverhood

Apr 24, 2015  Download The Neverhood Restoration for free. The Neverhood Restoration: the gateway to old gaming. The Neverhood is a 1996 point-and-click adventure game that is entirely composed of claymation. This does a few things.

Currently the only way to play this game on a Mac is to use something like VirtualBox (lets you run Windows inside a 'box' on a Mac) to play a Windows copy, because currently no patch has been made to get the game running on Mac. Unfortunately my experience in VirtualBox is limited:/ As for downloads, try one of the top two here. On this game portal, you can download the game The Neverhood free torrent. The full game The Neverhood was developed in 1996 in the Adventure genre by the developer The Neverhood, Inc. For the platform Windows (PC). The neverhood free download - The Neverhood demo (large), and many more programs.

Description of The Neverhood Windows

The Neverhood is one of the most original adventure games ever made, and one of the prime examples of how an ultra-slick style is sometimes enough to carry the game, even though we all know that substance is more important than style. Instead of using cartoons or computer animation, they built the entire set of the game with 2 tons of clay! Quite an achievement in any media, and the result is nothing short of amazing.

The storyline is quite simple. You play the role of Klayman; you wake up in a room, and you have to figure what to do from there. Rooms and puzzles are played from a third person perspective, while moving from one place to another takes form in FMV cut scenes in first person. The game is extremely appealing to all family members, and is a lot of fun to play with.

Unfortunately for all its graphical originality, puzzles in The Neverhood is nowhere near as creative. The most annoying part of the game is the room with the wall that goes on to infinity, the wall of which has the entire 'bible' of the klay world (klay universe?) in it. This damned thing spans 38 (yes, thirty-eight) rooms, and believe it or not, I actually spent a few hours reading it all.. and it gave me quite a headache.

As in The 7th Guest, the puzzles in The Neverhood bear no real relation to the story at hand -- they have more in common with bar bets or the logic problems you might find in Games magazine, except much more pointless and repetitive. Many puzzles are just rehashes from other Myst clones: to open a door to a new location, you'll have to solve a tile-sliding puzzle; to open another door, you'll have to match musical notes by filling a doorbell with water -- if you fail, you'll have to start over from the beginning until you get it right; to open yet another door, you'll have to guide a mouse safely through a maze so he can eat a tasty slice of cheese. Fortunately, there are usually hints available if you go to the initial room and down the ladder.

Perhaps due to lackluster puzzles and a high price tag, The Neverhood neither sold well nor won critical acclaim, despite being original and well executed. Two thumbs up for this underdog, but be warned that all the appeal lies in the style here, not so much substance. If you play adventure games for the interesting puzzles and situations, give The Neverhood a miss. If you prefer story-oriented games with a unique style, though, The Neverhood more than fits the bill.

I downloaded a U4 remake less than 5 minuites ago, but it's super slow, so I guess I'm going with this version.

TittyKitty2020-02-170 point

@BEELZEBUBBA Where was that? I remember my dad having the game around that time and he borrowed it, but never gave it back.

Beelzebubba2020-02-030 point

I loaned the CD to a 'friend' in '97 and never saw it, or the friend, again. I especially loved the soundtrack. It reminded me of Leon Redbone.

GoingMad2019-05-235 points

Runs nice in ScummVM. Just needed the data folder from the cd. No worries about installing or special settings.

MONGRONG2019-02-07-1 point

if you run on upper version windows Vista, you don't need windows 8.1 fix or 'WAVistaWin7.exe' etc.
just set compatibility 'Windows 95', '256 Colors' AND 'RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR'.

lynsey2018-12-232 points

It said my file was corrupted (downloaded it from this site) Tried the powershell (before I found out it was corrupted) and it said 'object not found'. I have no idea what this means or why my file that I downloaded from this website was corrupted. I've been trying to play this fricken game forever and Zero download links have worked. I just want to find one that isn't corrupted, and actually works. AGH

Have problems with colors. any ideas to fix?

OMG I have been looking for this for ages

LOBO2018-06-271 point

I wanted to add a couple of hints for this game. When the game runs in first person, the sound and animation lag. Not sure what if anything can be done about that. By hitting ENTER and typing the word (you won't see any fields) FASTFORWARD and pressing ENTER once more, the animation speeds up in the parts with a 3rd person perspective.

Neverhood Game

'THE NEVERHOOD' for Windows 10 (is compatible):
1. Download the game & manual ('Save Game' function works fine - patch seems unnecessary and has security alerts)
2. Unzip 'The-Neverhood_Win_EN'
2. Convert Neverhood.nrg (Nero file) to an .iso file ('nrg2iso' is free ('nrg2iso20' doesn't seem to work))
3. Mount 'Neverhood.iso'
W10 'PowerShell' command for mounting/dismounting an ISO (to open Powershell, search Windows for 'Powershell' Desktop App):
A. Mounting: Copy & Paste into Powershell (leave quotes): Mount-DiskImage -ImagePath 'C:whereverNeverhood.iso'
B. Dismounting: Copy & Paste into Powershell (leave quotes): Dismount-DiskImage -ImagePath 'C:whereverNeverhood.iso'
C. Note the allocated drive letter.
4. Create a 'Games' folder in your 'C:' drive.
5. Unpack ('7-Zip' is free) 'The Neverhood Fix.rar' files (3) to the 'Games' folder
'The Neverhood Fix.rar' (edit: fix is available on this page)
6. Confirm the 2 .reg files (R-click, 'Edit')
A. 'Nvrhood Registry Fix.reg':
The default points to the 'D' drive. Change (if necessary) to the actual drive letter where 'Neverhood.iso' is mounted (ie. ('Data Drive'='whatever drive:')
B. 'NeverHood Windows 8.1 Fix.reg':
1. If a different folder than 'Games' is used (not recommended) do the following. Otherwise do nothing.
A. Change 'C:GamesNeverhoodNhc.exe' to 'C:whateverFolderNameNeverhoodNhc.exe'
B. Edit 'Nvrhood Registry Fix.reg':
1. Change 'Installed Directory'='C:GamesNeverhood' to 'Installed Directory'='C:whateverFolderNameNeverhood'
2. Change 'Run File'='C:GamesNeverhoodNHC' to 'Run File'='C:whateverFolderNameNeverhoodNHC'
When you're all set, merge the 2 .reg files (double-click)
7. Run 'Nhc.exe'

The only solution for games that don't support windowed mode that I know is to use a window hooker like DxWnd that allows you to run games in windowed mode. There are plenty of tutorials on how to set it up and to my knowledge, it works great,

AmiVicky2017-03-270 point

So I was able to get it to run, but for capturing purposes (I want to stream this), is there any way I can change the resolution and volume? There are no volume settings in the game, and I can't get the game out of fullscreen. Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Enjoyable car smashing rampage across a free- roam city landscape! Shooting game where you must drive through the city streets.firing military aircraft into a chaotic free- roam air battle for an all-out. Test them out in an awesome free- roam environment with freeways, ramps. Free roam games mac.

Hello, i wanted to say something about this. mainly this:
How did you get this game? its literally impossible. second, Thank you for this i missed playing the Neverhood when i was little. Keep up the good Work.

HYPERTiZ2016-11-181 point

This is sadly why emulation is required these days;
to archive the hard works of those game developers that gives them free exposure of their works but also to experiece those lost gems that cant be played through original hardware or physical means.

themolluskk2016-10-22-2 points

the original restoration project is no longer active, but following the link on the page provided here will redirect you & give you installation instructions.
SO happy to finally find this game!

@le-me
It works great when using it on Windows 10, but when I go into certain areas on Windows 7 a command line shows up and the game crashes. Great game though 10/10.

Vicky2016-07-053 points

This game is AMAZING. I played it in college, then again as a young adult, then with my ex-husband, then with our eldest boy and now with my boyfriend and my little boy. Yes.. is that good. I do take years apart between playing it thou.
While it may look for children and you can certainly play it with them (and they'll laugh their heads off), the puzzles are DEFINITELY for older people as they grow in complexity throughout the game.. although having a kid with me the first time around would've helped a lot, as you have to.. think like a child! :D
A game that is 100% better to tackle in family: everybody will have their opinion on what to do, where to go or how to interpret the puzzles.
Made by adults for adults, the music, the humor, the graphics all make of this a true GEM of human creativity.
The sacrifice of getting it to work, even if you have to buy an old PC to play it or struggle with an emulator, is VERY well worth it.
One of the BEST games you will EVER play and one that would leave beautiful memories printed in your mind, specially if shared. ;)

Thepancake9532016-04-25-3 points

It says 'Error Initializing DirectSound'. How do I fix this?

Krys2015-12-170 point

It says it can't run because it requires Windows 95..really?

CorTat2015-11-22-3 points

To run this, you'll need to download Daemon Tools Lite, then open the .nrg file with it.

fedora swag master2015-10-03-2 points
