This looks really interesting to me, and there is a crap-ton of info on it, how it was made, etc. happening right here. Big thanks to Rohin J. for the headsup!

Looks cool, but it’s not the first adventure game made with claymation. The Neverhood was done that way and is an amazing game.
Wasn’t that the one Created by Doug Doug TenNapel? Along with Skull Monkeys?
Yes.
I *love* adventure games. I also love claymation. But I find it hard to get excited about this. Telltale has spoiled me. It looks really generic (gameplay-wise), and the walking animation is pretty poor.
Still seems like something I would want to check out. Been a while since I’ve played an adventure game and you can never have too many game experiences.
Interesting that there was an island and so many books in this clip because the score reminds me so much of Robyn and Rand Miller’s game Myst.
+1 for the Neverhood
Seems like point and click games like this would work really well with Kinect.
Neverhood was definitely the first claymation adventure and of the best adventure games ever.
Looks pretty cool, I would prefer this game to be on a platform like the iPhone though. Not one I would really play as a “sit down/invest a lot of time in” game.
