Clay Game is a game made entirely of clay!
In my youth, in the days before the internet, I spent most of my days making claymation videos for fun. I would spend hours making games, staying in at recess just to film more stuff, and have a box of Super8 tapes filled with all matter of silliness.
So when a game comes around with a clay look I get excited. The Neverhood was great and its crowdfunded followup looked great, even if it didn’t play great. Hell, I even adore Clayfighters simply for the look of everything.
And now a new clay-based game has hit Steam and it’s totally free to experience. Clay Game is a passion project that took Reddit user u/fluid_druid over four years of work capturing 10,000 photos to bring to life.
The game itself is a silly little adventure that looks altogether unique among the games on the platform. For now, the game is only on PC but if things go well the developer may pout together a full adventure in the future.
In Clay Game, you play as a lazy dude whose best friend is a talking cat (or is he a fox?) with a similar taste for sarcasm and life’s simple pleasures.
But your care-free lifestyle is interrupted when your nerdy sister finds herself in trouble with a mysterious cult. You need to dust off your magic wand to go on an adventure of solving puzzles and avoiding death traps to solve the mystery at your sister’s wizard tower (before it’s too late)!
This is a casual single-player game that was made to be finished in one sitting – the puzzles aren’t too hard and it only takes an hour or two.
Game Features:
- A unique style – every piece of art in the game was made by hand in clay (even the font!)
- Two puzzle mechanics – use magic to shrink and grow objects to reach new areas, or swap colors to solve magnet puzzles
- Fully voice-acted cutscenes and dialogue – the actors are the developer and his friends, so keep your quality expectations low
- Many checkpoints – in case of puzzle-induced rage quitting
- Full controller support – honestly there aren’t that many features, so now I’m just listing the basics
- A dance scene – does that do anything for you?
