Armikrog is a spiritual successor to the famed The Neverhood Chronicles (1996) game. The big winner in Armikrog is the world itself, a plasticene masterpiece with a logic all its own, dripping with whimsy and idiosyncrasy. The game is worth playing just to experience that world.

The plot has Tommynaut and his doggy sidekick Beak-Beak crash landing on a strange new world, and needing to escape. Tommynaut does collect items but automatically uses them when needed. You also need to play as Beak-Beak who can get to places Tommynaut can not.

The puzzles I thought were fair, requiring observation of the environment and pulling and poking. A beautiful game.
