The Neverhood Klaymen
The Enchanted Cave 2 is an RPG/roguelike with a heavy focus on risk vs reward. Strategically choosing your battles, building your character, enchanting your equipment and knowing when to escape the cave. The enchanted cave 2.
Klaymen, our hero, is all alone for the most part. He never speaks, except for one sole part near the end. There are only a few other creatures in his world, quite a few of which want to hurt him, and he has to figure out what happened that made the Neverhood so barren.
Description
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. ;)

A true gem in the Adventure Games genre!
I highly recommend playing this game with a notebook, you′ll need it for some dreadful puzzles.
