Story[]
Are fateful story unfolds as the player is given exposition about what this universe is about?
[Female Narrator]
Deep in a perplexing void lies many, many strange and fantastical worlds filled with even stranger and bizarre creatures.
A yellow planet with a number carved into it called Spiro5 and on its surface, it houses a fortress that rises miles into the sky called The Armikrog.
A strange and bizarre world filled with creatures of all shapes, sizes, and intellects along with housing even stranger landscapes and temples called Planet Idznak.
Then we get to an ever-growing archive of knowledge and lore, foretelling of 7 kings, 2 higher beings, and the origins of this very plane of existence, a place that houses quite peaceful and happy folks that call this place home, under the watch of a king with a big heart aided by a grey robotic giant and a lad made of magic clay, this is a place known as The Neverhood, this is where our little journey gets its gigantic start.
[Narration Ends]
we then zoom in on another peaceful day in The Neverhood, as many of its denizens are having fun in its little park area, having fun as they do.
The camera then zooms in on our main trio, Klaymen, Willie Trombone, and Hoborg as they are tending to the Neverhoodian sheep, feeding them and keeping them entertained.
When the main trio were about to put up the sheep for the day, a loud boom scared the creatures off and cause a large group of clay people to frantically run around saying "there's a beast here everyone run!".
Hoborg had a puzzled look on his face until he turned around and was met with a large navy blue weasel with a little blonde headed girl in armor sitting on top of it.
The girl then said that her name was Vierna and that she was a bounty hunter looking for 3 fellows named Klaymen, Hoborg and Willie Trombone, she took out a wanted sign depicting the 3...and then she realized that the people she was looking for were right in front of her.
A chase scene beings while this music begins to play
The trio darts off towards a gate to the park as Vierna and her weasel give chase shortly afterward.
[The Rest of the Story is a Major work in progress so be patient with me]
