The Neverhood (released in Japan as Klaymen Klaymen) is a point-and-click adventure game developed by The Neverhood, Inc. and published by DreamWorks Interactive in 1996.
@@akshaykumarmimicry8940 for me as a 9-10 y/o kid it was kinda creepy, the whole atmosphere of this game. All these dark empty places, strange rooms with no creatures except for monsters sometimes, yk. But still I love this game (:
This game scared the hell out of me as a kid. It was never horror movie scary, just so deeply unsettling and uncomfortable but intriguing at the same time. Idk if it was the music or the art style, but this whole game felt super off...
It’s mostly how old this kind of claymation is, it’s very rough and the characters are made to look like clay on purpose so it feels like they shouldn’t be alive
I remembered it being much darker than this, I thought the part from 4:16 was more gloomy and creepy, felt more like night time than it does here. Could be our monitor from back then was just a lot darker.
This game was something my brother and I played all of the time. He was quite a few years older than me and would always help with the tougher parts. He passed away last year and fit whatever reason, I had a dream about this game last night. I forgot this existed for a minute there. Anyway, watching this video has brought back so many good memories of my brother and I playing this. I miss him so much and because of this video I feel like Ive had so many great memories unlocked. Thank you so much ❤️
I know this is a very late response, but I hope you are well and thriving, friend. I’m so happy you’re able to have such fond memories from a game like this. 💜
Are you insulting Kleyman? Because it sounds like you're insulting Kleyman. Remember clay gets pretty hard when fired up. Hard enough to smash your soft little face into putty.

This will always and forever by me favourite game ever. Original, spooky, creepy, funny, cute and so frustrating… some puzzles were total brain teasers for me and my little bro, as non english speakers with no internet back then we had no chance. We kept coming back to the game for years but never finished it. About 20 years later I have downloaded it again and with internet clues I finally completed it 🤣 This game is pure gold!
@@TerploNiceHat if it's available today I might buy it. But if it isn't, I se no harm in pirating it. You can't lose sales on something that isn't being sold
@@TerploNiceHat there's nothing wrong with pirating games that are no longer in production. Often times torrents and p2p sharing is the only way old games stay alive.
This game freaked me the hell out when I was a kid. Played it back when I was six I think. And I was just so freaked out by it I never got past any of the puzzles. I think I got ten minutes in and was like "nope!"
Its a mushroom, and i have it same. xD when i was a kid, in holiday´s i play this game on mother´s office pc ,and she speaking me where this stop, and why i am no stop it... and "its disgusting" XDD
I was always afraid to turn the next corner. I actually had a lot of dreams with that exact same format though, of endlessly walking through deserted buildings feeling ill at ease, so playing this game was an odd catharsis.
I'm kinda surprised how little I remember about this game. The only thing I remembered almost frame-by-frame is the part when the huge green monster chases you and you blow it up.
@Layne Krusz Thanks Layne! I started one time and read a few pages but never finished. A quick search revealed a webpage with the whole text that is easier on the eyes.
This game hits my nostalgia so hard. It feels incredibly obscure, because I almost never hear about it unless I go searching for it. I enjoyed the heck out of this game when I was really young...uniquely stylized, spooky, funny, and a brain teaser. This game will always live on in my heart, even if I can't play it on modern computers anymore. Thank you for having this video available so I can relive this game and share it with others in some way.
My mom once told me, when I was little, they had a save mark on the moment with the long burp at 17:33, so every time I disturbed my mom from her businesses, she put me in front of computer and played that part. And I was sitting and watching! Haha
I've shown THE BURP yesterday to my sons. They liked it so much they wanted to watch the whole playthrough. So we did just that. Except THE WALK. I skipped that instantly. :) They still talk about Neverhood Today. Goes to show how great it is still. Story and characters are so likable. Also children like disgusting stuff and Neverhood has plenty of that to laugh on :D
My brother, sister and I went to a science fair type thing when I was young. There was a competition with stations. My brother won and got to pick something from the prize table. There was stuff like silly putty and then the Neverhood, in box. I was young - and so enamored with the box alone that I begged my brother to get it for me. Might have even cried. I played it a lot and never really figured out how to beat it but my siblings got to the end. I used to wander that one hall where you could read history of the world. The behind the scenes or making of on the disk was so cool to watch. I also would draw all the pictures that were in the instruction manual.
I think it had the biggest impact on me. There was all this concept art in the jewel case booklet as well. Some pages had a sort of scrapbook layout of all this art and images. So it was like seeing this whole world of ideas.
I've searched YEARS for this game from my childhood. The only memory I had of it was the fella going down the ladder into that little nook. What threw me off for so long was I could only remember him as a chicken
I thought I’d dreamt this game! I remembered playing this only once at a babysitters house when I was like 7 or 8 and none of siblings remembered it. Didn’t know the name or anything about it. Just the general mechanics. So glad to have finally tracked it down! Thanks for this upload!
I had a very vague memory of playing this game for a little bit as a kid, that memory recently resurfaced and I was so vague that I wasn't sure if it was even real. I'm glad to know it is.
I just remembered the old days. When I was an elementary school student, I borrowed this game from my cousin and played it from the beginning dozens of times for several hours, but I couldn't finish it because I was too young. Now that I'm in my thirties, I realized that the part I managed to reach after so many attempts was only about 50 minutes of this video, and I realized that I still have a long way to go to complete it. Thanks to this video, I was able to see the entire story of the game. Thank you for uploading the video.
Played this as a kid. Inspired me to make my own stop motion and video games. This is true art. Its beautifull on so many levels. I wish more games like this were made. its so creative and unique
Walking down that long Hall of Records was always painful. But one day, I read the entire thing, start to finish. It's mostly irrelevant but it does mention Willie Trombone, Bil the robot, and Hoborg in there.
Thrifty032781 according to the story, hoborg had a brother who was Willie's dad, he created a world but it fell apart. Willie's house was the only thing left of it, so Willie stuck with it.

haha nothing beats the first time i figured out what BOBBY stood for in the shrink room all by myself as a 9 year old nothing. And just the memory of me playing it with my dad, we also played tomb raider for the pc , and when my father progressed in it i was so excstatic. To you fathers out there, play games with your kid ! please do it, play armikrog with him, play some puzzle games like this. He will be typing this as a 27 year old in the future.
I remember playing this game with my three older brothers I must have been 6 or 7 years old I remember I almost peed myself laughing so hard at the 2nd room when you press the button and the boxing glove comes out and punches you. We would sit there and press that button like 20 times before moving on. The cut scene with the big green crab spider monster was good to hahaha I love this game!
I never figure out the BOBBY riddle as a kid. Neither do my brother and my 2 cousins. We where stuck there, but we did not surrender and continue to play the game for several years. We even calibrate the cannon to shoot on the robbot by chance. Twice! Because we somehow lost the save. In our defense, no one of us knew English by that time. In fact neither someone knew russian also, since our version was with russian audio. And the BOBBY riddle require English.
The radio announcer even says "Man facing backwards while singing in the shower" before that clip plays as a hint to play it backwards. Pretty clever game.
i was so creeped out as a kid when i played this and i didnt really get the puzzles cause the entire atmosphere puzzled me on its own but i was sooo curious about the strange way it was making me feel that i kept playing; never ever have i felt that in a game before
i love this game. I got it from my father back in 98 i believe, i still have the original disc and box. Armikrog stirred up some nostalgia memories inside me wich i havent felt since, and thats what i think the point of armikrog was, not that it was a long game. But to get that feeling back. Thank you TenNapel
Played this game many times a kid. I still get the urge to say: "Meeee Biiiillll" in a deep voice all these decades later. Hearing the game's music is bringing back so many wonderful memories! Thank you for posting this video
I used to play this game together with my dad. I can actually remember it all as vividly as if it was yesterday. It's magic to see the stuff again, to hear those footsteps and the weird music
i played this game when around 1997 or so, (i was 30 years old then) forgot all about it until this video popped up. amazing what i remembered and what i didn't. stay off drugs, kids.
back then I was intrigued by the style and atmosphere of this weirdo but not enough to push me to solve all the puzzles and so I quit way before the end. Watching it again after a quarter of century of knowledge I must say this game hid much more under the hood, especially in regards of the storyline so, thank you for take the time to make this video.
I used to play this game with my big sister. My father left a notebook with all the puzzle solutions and with just went along with it. Even though it’s been 20 years, and that I didn’t understand english at that time, I still remember the video of Willie by heart!
After 35:59 minutes, this scene won the entire game for me as a kid, (after the big burp) and I played it a lot of times. Sadly the game was damaged and I could never play it fully. But I enjoyed playing it alone, and with my friend later on. The black sky mixed with the bright lights on the ground and the unsettling ost when you are outside, which refers to being on a different planet really spooked me as a kid. But the whole style was so nice and Creative that I could enjoy playing it, even without understanding a word in this game, cause we only had it in English. Truly a masterpiece.
As a kid I often had nightmares of this game where I was in it. Watching this video decades later feels like I'm watching a recurring dream from my childhood.
This was one of the free games that we got with our first computer in 1998. I never really understood the game as a kid, but I appreciate it a lot more as I got older.
i have been looking for this game for hours, i wanted to find it because i use to play it about 6 years ago with my dad, he’s now gone so i wanted to try and get some good old memories from this game and i am a tiny bit happy
First video game I ever played. It came as a demo on dell computers. I think I was like 3 or 4. I could never get past the TNT Man part but I didn’t care. It was so interesting and fun it stuck in my mind since. I’m 27 now, but this game hasn’t aged a bit for me.
Every single time he walks into a new room or plsce my heart jumps.... This is such s blast from the past snd im remembering the days was a kid playing this fantastically bizarre spooky game
27:10 I remember watching my friend play this when we were younger and him freaking out, almost falling out of the chair when that tv guy started talking. I laughed until my ribs hurt.
I was 6 or 7 depending on when Neverhood was released around late September so I didn't know they could kill npc characters in games yet. So I was sad after meeting him, seeing his antics and his death and and the revived Bill die.
This game is not above wasting copious amounts of your time for the sake of a gag or indeed no goddamn reason. Which is admirable, in a sense. You'd never get away with half the shit this game pulls if you made it today, you'd get raked across the coals. I kinda miss that about these older games. Everybody just did whatever they wanted, no matter how stupid or obnoxious, quality be damned. The sound design certainly helps. Everybody talking about the claymation, but it's the audio that really sells it, that's where most of the humor is.
19:29 This moment was so horrifying for me as a kid that I recognised this corridor and immidiatlly felt anxious, even tho I don't remember much about this game and played it when I was 6 about 13 years ago :v (All I knew was clay man, green monster and creepy sounds outside)
😭😭😭😭😭 I've been searching for this game for over 20 years no joke I can't believe I found it 😂😂 rememver playing this around 5 years old with my next door neighbour and the scary monster chasing us into a cave and we had a power cut in real life legit scared the genuine soul out of me😂😂
Im 23. When i was about 5, my grandpa played this a lot and i wanted to visit a lot cause liked to watch it lol. I never seen this game since then, as i never even knew how is it called, also i didnt even remember it well since again, i was about 5 years old, possibly less. For some reason i rembered about and tried to find it, knowing the chances for that are extremely low. I litterraly googled "an old game from plasceline where you play a weird chichen" or something like that (yes this aint really much like chichen, but it was kinda how i remembered it) anyway, i accutally saw it on some google photo all the way down and im here, getting my memories unlocked. Im almost crying rn.
My dad is a major nerd and as a result I grew up with a lot of games. One of the first few games I remember playing are Pajama Sam and Neverhood. All the sticky notes in my dads office were covered in notes or just pictures I drew and I remember my love of puzzles and mystery stemming from this game.
This was my first ever "playthrough" when i watched my bro play this on the comp when i was four. 21 years later i'm still watching ppl play games instead of playing them myself
It’s hard to imagine at that time that this studio (albeit a division) - DreamWorks, would release no less cult cartoons like: Antz, The Prince of Egypt, Shrek, Shark Tale and Madagascar
@@tadkratzer6261 Cutting of head is non-fatal gag actually Hole is really "3rd secret bad ending" - I saw same trope only in 2 more quest games: 1. Memoria (Daedalic) - at beginning you choose answer "I don't like riddles" and it will be game over 2. Red Comrades 2 (Buka) - press Nuke button (in disk version, long before Steam it was really game over) At least 3. Gobliiins - you have "health bar", that becomes less every time you do "fatal" mistakes, getting scared or hit.
Thanks for playing and posting. I played this back as a young kid. I believe I ended up using a guide to finish it. So many things from the game come flooding back into my memory as i watch.
This game reminds me of weirdcore in a way. You're all alone for the most part of the game and the puzzles can be pretty tricky if you don't know what's happening. One of the most underrated games I've ever came across :")
Thank you for reminding me of this excellent game. 20 years has passed, so much has changed. But his game still feels refreshing because of its uniqueness. Now, I find meaning in my life again.
Watching walktroughs is both amazing and frustrating. On one hand you just love to see it again since you cannot play it. On the other hand what frustrates you is that you remember that you would do or you did some moves differently (or faster or slower, whatever) and you must fight this dissatisfaction while watching 🙈. Still, thank you so much for this ❤
Neverhood used to be my favourite game and it is still the game of all times for me! I never finished it, got stuck somewhere half way through and could not figure it out. This Walkthrough is really cool because it shows me all the game from the beginning to end, the bits I have missed out on. It looks like a cool film and it just makes me appreciate how fantastic the game is! Thank you for sharing.
who else just randomly had a flashback of this game that you have played years and years ago and thought that your just making this up but you googled it and its real
I have it with some games I played as a child. And now idek if they are real or I just dreamed about them. At least two of them are actually not a thing, but I remember them in such details.
It's almost scary how good this is. It's god damn claymation. Nearly two and a half hours worth of claymation gameplay. Creating this must've taken what felt like forever...
I remember that I loved 3:29 AND 21:36 (well, getting decapitated, that is) as a kid. Purposely made Klaymen do them over and over again 'cause of how funny they were.
Its been 25 years, yet this game is still one of the most unique artpiece of the entire industry.

The radio announcer even says "Man facing backwards while singing in the shower" before that clip plays as a hint to play it backwards. Pretty clever game.
my friend once took 2 hours and 24 minutes to get out of the opening room
To complete the game it would take like 92 years
this and skullmonkeys are those kind of games that very few people played as a kid and are nostalgic for, but no one else is aware of them.
i was so creeped out as a kid when i played this and i didnt really get the puzzles cause the entire atmosphere puzzled me on its own but i was sooo curious about the strange way it was making me feel that i kept playing; never ever have i felt that in a game before
i love this game. I got it from my father back in 98 i believe, i still have the original disc and box. Armikrog stirred up some nostalgia memories inside me wich i havent felt since, and thats what i think the point of armikrog was, not that it was a long game. But to get that feeling back. Thank you TenNapel
Played this game many times a kid. I still get the urge to say: "Meeee Biiiillll" in a deep voice all these decades later. Hearing the game's music is bringing back so many wonderful memories! Thank you for posting this video
I used to play this game together with my dad. I can actually remember it all as vividly as if it was yesterday. It's magic to see the stuff again, to hear those footsteps and the weird music
I have just the same memories. My dad showed me that game all these years ago. Good to be here again ❤
Yes dittos, I've been trying to find those game for over a decade to play ot again since playing with my Papa as a kid.
Such nostalgia!❤
i played this game when around 1997 or so, (i was 30 years old then) forgot all about it until this video popped up. amazing what i remembered and what i didn't. stay off drugs, kids.
Damn
My brother and I used to play this on the old pc while my dad and his friends were in the other room rocking out, rehearsing their band. Fond memories
back then I was intrigued by the style and atmosphere of this weirdo but not enough to push me to solve all the puzzles and so I quit way before the end. Watching it again after a quarter of century of knowledge I must say this game hid much more under the hood, especially in regards of the storyline so, thank you for take the time to make this video.
I used to play this game with my big sister. My father left a notebook with all the puzzle solutions and with just went along with it. Even though it’s been 20 years, and that I didn’t understand english at that time, I still remember the video of Willie by heart!
After 35:59 minutes, this scene won the entire game for me as a kid, (after the big burp) and I played it a lot of times. Sadly the game was damaged and I could never play it fully. But I enjoyed playing it alone, and with my friend later on. The black sky mixed with the bright lights on the ground and the unsettling ost when you are outside, which refers to being on a different planet really spooked me as a kid. But the whole style was so nice and Creative that I could enjoy playing it, even without understanding a word in this game, cause we only had it in English. Truly a masterpiece.
An incredible amount of work went into the making of this game, for sure.
02:11:26 Good Ending
02:19:39 Bad Ending
why people call it bad ending??..that was amazing...best ending...
@@goulakh555 people call it the bad ending because it has the worst outcome where the neverhood is basically done for.
I'm sorry, did you said something? I got lazy looking up the bad ending....lol

As a kid I often had nightmares of this game where I was in it. Watching this video decades later feels like I'm watching a recurring dream from my childhood.
What... what nightmares did you have?
This was one of the free games that we got with our first computer in 1998. I never really understood the game as a kid, but I appreciate it a lot more as I got older.
i have been looking for this game for hours, i wanted to find it because i use to play it about 6 years ago with my dad, he’s now gone so i wanted to try and get some good old memories from this game and i am a tiny bit happy
I’m so sorry for your loss, but as long as you have memories like this of him he will never truly be gone
Sorry for your loss hope all is well
hope you are doing ok man :(
First video game I ever played. It came as a demo on dell computers. I think I was like 3 or 4. I could never get past the TNT Man part but I didn’t care. It was so interesting and fun it stuck in my mind since. I’m 27 now, but this game hasn’t aged a bit for me.
Every single time he walks into a new room or plsce my heart jumps....
This is such s blast from the past snd im remembering the days was a kid playing this fantastically bizarre spooky game
27:10 I remember watching my friend play this when we were younger and him freaking out, almost falling out of the chair when that tv guy started talking. I laughed until my ribs hurt.
1:54:31 - still makes me sad to this day, as a kid i almost cried lol
so true
I was 6 or 7 depending on when Neverhood was released around late September so I didn't know they could kill npc characters in games yet. So I was sad after meeting him, seeing his antics and his death and and the revived Bill die.
I was so terrified of this as a kid, but intrigued! I’d beg my dad to play it so I could watch it over his shoulder!
Looking back at these puzzles, I'm surprised I was able to solve them at such a young age.
This game is not above wasting copious amounts of your time for the sake of a gag or indeed no goddamn reason.
Which is admirable, in a sense. You'd never get away with half the shit this game pulls if you made it today, you'd get raked across the coals.
I kinda miss that about these older games. Everybody just did whatever they wanted, no matter how stupid or obnoxious, quality be damned.
The sound design certainly helps. Everybody talking about the claymation, but it's the audio that really sells it, that's where most of the humor is.
Miss this game so much. There is nothing like this anymore
This was one of my favorite PC games. My friend used to have it. I wish I could find it somewhere cheap
BLUEJAY Gaming Me too. Or atleast somewhere that allows download without payment and doesn`t have a hoax file lying around.
Dude just download it pirate
The visuals in this game were so fresh. Brings back great memories, thanks for posting.
19:29 This moment was so horrifying for me as a kid that I recognised this corridor and immidiatlly felt anxious, even tho I don't remember much about this game and played it when I was 6 about 13 years ago :v (All I knew was clay man, green monster and creepy sounds outside)
this game scared me so much as a kid... it still does
😭😭😭😭😭 I've been searching for this game for over 20 years no joke I can't believe I found it 😂😂 rememver playing this around 5 years old with my next door neighbour and the scary monster chasing us into a cave and we had a power cut in real life legit scared the genuine soul out of me😂😂
Pure art.
This will always be one of my favourite games
Im 23. When i was about 5, my grandpa played this a lot and i wanted to visit a lot cause liked to watch it lol. I never seen this game since then, as i never even knew how is it called, also i didnt even remember it well since again, i was about 5 years old, possibly less. For some reason i rembered about and tried to find it, knowing the chances for that are extremely low. I litterraly googled "an old game from plasceline where you play a weird chichen" or something like that (yes this aint really much like chichen, but it was kinda how i remembered it) anyway, i accutally saw it on some google photo all the way down and im here, getting my memories unlocked. Im almost crying rn.

Thank you for playing this , now I can see why The Neverhood is so beloved! Everything ,from the music to the claymation ,are just brilliant!
Found out about this from LGR. Nice playthrough without commentary, thanks.
All these years later and this still remains my favorite game of all time.
My dad is a major nerd and as a result I grew up with a lot of games. One of the first few games I remember playing are Pajama Sam and Neverhood. All the sticky notes in my dads office were covered in notes or just pictures I drew and I remember my love of puzzles and mystery stemming from this game.
This was my first ever "playthrough" when i watched my bro play this on the comp when i was four. 21 years later i'm still watching ppl play games instead of playing them myself
Man, I have not encountered this game for about 20 years! So cool to stumble upon it on YT. So many memories
It’s hard to imagine at that time that this studio (albeit a division) - DreamWorks, would release no less cult cartoons like: Antz, The Prince of Egypt, Shrek, Shark Tale and Madagascar
This takes me back...thanks for the playthrough!
22:00 Missed the sequence where the monster cuts off your head :(
And why no jumping down the drain?
this lopop2 he probably wanted to do the Canon path.
@@tadkratzer6261 Cutting of head is non-fatal gag actually
Hole is really "3rd secret bad ending" - I saw same trope only in 2 more quest games:
1. Memoria (Daedalic) - at beginning you choose answer "I don't like riddles" and it will be game over
2. Red Comrades 2 (Buka) - press Nuke button (in disk version, long before Steam it was really game over)
At least
3. Gobliiins - you have "health bar", that becomes less every time you do "fatal" mistakes, getting scared or hit.
@@bronyprevedus1724 in the beginning of "We happy few" you can choose to eat the pill and the game just goes to the ending titles.
@@taniajs Sounds like a 1st place to "speedrunning on any ending", Memoria is jusr 2nd
20:17 when the tank tries to kill the Spy. Spy:the Engineer is a pie!
XD
The sound of the dynamite and duds swapping is one I can never forget.
That radio, the man working with hammer and whistling, just hear the third time he hits his hand with the hammer LMAO!!!! :))))))
Thanks for playing and posting. I played this back as a young kid. I believe I ended up using a guide to finish it. So many things from the game come flooding back into my memory as i watch.
i remember playing this game back when i was 4 years old on a burned copy
Me too..
And I as well.
Me too
This game reminds me of weirdcore in a way. You're all alone for the most part of the game and the puzzles can be pretty tricky if you don't know what's happening. One of the most underrated games I've ever came across :")
This game has its own aesthetic. It’s called Klaycore.
@@g-starthefirst Omg, that's a good name for it 😂💖
muh weirdcore muh fyagyotcore
Thank you for reminding me of this excellent game. 20 years has passed, so much has changed. But his game still feels refreshing because of its uniqueness. Now, I find meaning in my life again.
Watching walktroughs is both amazing and frustrating. On one hand you just love to see it again since you cannot play it. On the other hand what frustrates you is that you remember that you would do or you did some moves differently (or faster or slower, whatever) and you must fight this dissatisfaction while watching 🙈. Still, thank you so much for this ❤
You can play in ScummVM.
21:06 best scene ever.
This was one of my favorite childhood games. My favorite uncle introduced me to this game.
Neverhood used to be my favourite game and it is still the game of all times for me! I never finished it, got stuck somewhere half way through and could not figure it out. This Walkthrough is really cool because it shows me all the game from the beginning to end, the bits I have missed out on. It looks like a cool film and it just makes me appreciate how fantastic the game is! Thank you for sharing.
Some of my earliest and fondest meteorites are of me sitting on my grandpa’s lap playing this on his old Gateway. Hope I never forget those days
who else just randomly had a flashback of this game that you have played years and years ago and thought that your just making this up but you googled it and its real
I have it with some games I played as a child. And now idek if they are real or I just dreamed about them.
At least two of them are actually not a thing, but I remember them in such details.
It's almost scary how good this is. It's god damn claymation. Nearly two and a half hours worth of claymation gameplay. Creating this must've taken what felt like forever...
I remember that I loved 3:29 AND 21:36 (well, getting decapitated, that is) as a kid. Purposely made Klaymen do them over and over again 'cause of how funny they were.
Now this brings back memories. Took me to years to find this but thanks for putting this up. 👍
Man i wouldve loved this game as a kid, i loved claymation even despite how creepy it was. Also loved the clay world in Baten Kaitos Origins
I'm only now learning about this game in my 30's. I feel like my years are wasted. This is extremely sophisticated for 1995
As a kid i never even got past 27 mins. Seeing how much i missed is crazy!
Then again I was playing this a 3/4 years old. lol
*Doctor:* You have 2 hours and 24 minutes to live.
*Me:*
HSAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA NICE JOKE MATE, DID YOU MAKE THAT ONE UP YOURSELF? HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
You won't see the last 26 seconds then
TwistedClown912 in fact he said 24 minutes, so is more than your 26 seconds.
@Layne Krusz And he said that he said 24 minutes while the video is 23 minutes so he will watch the full thing then.
this game the absolute meaning of underrated
1:00:40 So, are you just stuck in that room if you didn't memorize the growing formula?
Trisket no. In the previous room, there's a button you press that turns you back to normal
Trisket no Im wrong, there's another grow potion in the shrinking room and the formula for that one is in that room I believe
@@jerkface7977 yup, before you go up the stairs you gotta click the right part, it's a small opening though
this game was my nightmare in a childhood in 1999 :))))
Thanks for a very instructional walk-through, not one for pure speed!
