The Neverhood is the original handcrafted game for me. I really liked the style and humor, but the puzzles were way too difficult for me to actually get anywhere. Behind the scenes videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrR3jbgocI4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrR3jbgocI4

  I only played some bits of it (borrowed it from a friend), but there's two bits that I still remember all these years later. The "Me Willie. Me Willie Trombone" recordings, and the Pop Goes The Weasel sequence.

Wow, that's so cool, I would never have thought of using real models in a game like that! It looks gorgeous, but what is it like from a gaming perspective?

  A bit of an old-fashioned point and click style of gameplay, with both the good and the bad comes with it. Humor is there, has a German flavor to it though so I'm not sure how well it survives translation. So nothing earth-shattering but I enjoyed myself.

Another good example is Papetura: it's 100% made of paper and light bulb. The visual result is quite nice and very intriguing. https://www.pcgamer.com/this-indie-developer-spent-6-years-sculpting-a-game-from-5000-pieces-of-paper/ https://www.pcgamer.com/this-indie-developer-spent-6-years-s...

  Considering 3D Graphics Asset are ridiculously expensive. I wonder if these type of development actually save cost.

Other examples are: * The Dream Machine * Lume * Lumino City

  And probably the most famous example, Cuphead.

I remember reading about the making of 2009 "A boy and his blob". The studio went to the local college and hired a bunch of art students to do all the art by hand.
