Hylics Clay worlds, strange battles

Every character and creature here is a real clay model, scanned and animated frame by frame, then processed into pixel art. The result is a world of warped perspectives and saturated color that sits somewhere between an alien archipelago and a fever dream: lone structures in empty landscapes, ruins, deserts, laboratories, other dimensions. You play as Wayne, a fellow with a distinctly lunar face, gathering companions like Dedusmuln and Somsnosa on the way to Gibby, the Moon King. Nothing explains itself. Most non-essential characters speak in randomly generated jumbles of words, and the plot stays vague on purpose, leaving room to read your own meaning into the meaninglessness. The soundtrack, mostly synth and guitar, keeps a melancholy, dreamlike tone under all of it.
