THE NEVERHOOD
The Story
Born into a Neverhood that may Never exist, Klaymen awakens, alone, and curious.
His world is full of extraordinary creatures, odd machines and mysterious artifacts. Scattered inside and out are what appear to be the remnant bodies of his own bygone race. Unknown to Klaymen, he is about to embark on a journey facing moral decisions that transcend the limits of mere Klay.
Setting out to explore the Neverhood, Klaymen learns that long ago, the creator of this world. King Hoborg, was betrayed. Hoborg’s trusted assistant, Klogg, wanted the Throne for himself. Klogg attempted to rob the King of his Krown which gives the wearer dominion over the Neverhood and the beings created to inhabit it.
Regretting having created the Neverhood, King Hoborg foiled Klogg’s conspiracy by entrusting the Krown to his newborn son and by ceasing all production of the Neverhood. Hoborg himself sits on a throne in his Neverhood palace, lifeless without the power of his hidden crown.
J Now, with some help from his spastic pal, Willie Trombone, Klaymen must find the King’s son, outsmart Klogg, return the Krown to it’s rightful place, and prove the worthiness of the Neverhood’s existence.
