Creative Team Behind Earthworm Jim and The Neverhood Launch New Clay Animated Video Game, Armikrog
Launch Trailer Released as Pencil Test Unveil their Unique Point and Click Adventure Game for PC, Mac and LinuxCheck out the launch trailer here. For more info, visit the official website here. AKE FOREST, Calif. – September. 30, 2015 – Independent game developer Pencil Test Studios in partnership with indie publisher Versus Evil have released Armikrog, the highly-anticipated spiritual successor to the cult classic The Neverhood . Armikrog for PC, Mac and Linux is now available to purchase for $24.99 through all major digital retailers, with a deluxe edition featuring the full game soundtrack by Terry Scott Taylor, also available for $29.99.
Armikrog has been created using classic stop motion animation sculpting, set building and clay and puppet fabrication techniques. Follow the adventures of space explorer Tommynaut and his pal Beak-Beak (a blind talking dog) as they crash land on an alien planet, and help them escape from the mysterious fortress called Armikrog. Guide the pair through a variety of precarious situations in gorgeously hand crafted environments packed with puzzles and a slew of odd inhabitants. Voiceover talent includes well-known actors Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite), Rob Paulsen (Pinky and the Brain) and Michael J. Nelson (Mystery Science Theater 3000).
“We’re proud, exhausted, elated, and humbled to finally launch Armikrog,” said Pencil Test Studios co-founder Mike Dietz. “Without the help of Doug TenNapel who created the original concept and main characters, Terry S Taylor who produced the ethereal and fun soundtrack, our strong and loyal Kickstarter community and a host of experienced artists and talented volunteers, we would not have managed to bring our collective vision to life. This is a true form of playable art. We can’t thank everyone enough.”
"We were incredibly excited when we partnered with the Pencil Test team to help them bring this game to market, and seeing the end product come to life has been very fulfilling" said Versus Evil General Manager Steve Escalante. "Armikrog is truly a handcrafted, one-of-a-kind video game that will appeal to gamers of all ages.” Happy Gaming! Ana

I was checking this out at Steam. If you click on Steams link to Armikrog"s Main website Microsoft warns you: ----- "This website has been reported as unsafe www.armikrog.comWe recommend that you do not continue to this website. Recommended icon Go to my home page instead This website has been reported to Microsoft for containing threats to your computer that might reveal personal or financial information. More information This website has been reported to contain the following threats: •Phishing threat: This is a phishing website that impersonates a trusted website to trick you into revealing personal or financial information. Learn more about phishing Report that this site does not contain threats Not recommended icon Disregard and continue (not recommended)" ------- I don't know what's up with this and cant imagine this developer going there but who knows anymore. Anyone want to shed some light on this? http://store.steampowered.com/app/334120/
It's never too late!

I have no such warning on my computer. Sometimes certain virus protections have false positives. I think the website is safe personally. Ana

Hi BET and Marian,
Strange I would get this warning. The only protection I carry is Microsoft. I have seen false warnings to other sites of friends that post on other Forums so I get the false positives yet it says it has been reported. Its like I said you never know nowadays. I will take it as safe.
Thank you for the continued support for Adventure gaming, without a doubt the BEST!
It's never too late!

Loved the Neverhood, and have some Russian claymation, but you can't have too much (and really there isn't very much at all). Have been waiting for this.
Quantity has a quality all of its own
