Armikrog is a 2015 Point-and-Click Game created by Doug TenNapel with Pencil Test Studios. Funded on Kickstarter for release on PC, Wii U, and PlayStation 4.

Soon after they crash, Tommynaut and Beak beak find themselves in a bizarre Death World, where they are locked up in a fortress called Armikrog. From there, they must escape the fortress by putting their heads together to solve the puzzles inside.The game stars Mike Nelson as Tommynaut and Rob Paulsen as Beak Beak.

Bizarre Alien Biology | |
| Armikrog (Video Game) / int_1161fb48 | comment |
Bizarre Alien Biology: Beak Beak is described as a "dog," but he's a dog with two horizontal ridges instead of eyes, the ability to speak and the ability to sprout wings after eating bugs. P burps up the most powerful fuel in the known universe when she giggles, and the game's textdump notes that she doesn't seem to eat, but she certainly defecates. | |

| Armikrog (Video Game) / int_164098bc | comment |
Enter Solution Here: Probably not to the extent of its predecessor, but there are puzzles of this type, such as the three-symbol lock near the beginning of the game. Then again, a fan of The Neverhood would likely be savvy enough to expect this and keep some pen and paper (or a phone with a camera) handy. | |

Villain Ball | |
| Armikrog (Video Game) / int_1cc2ea8d | comment |
Villain Ball: Tommynaut goes to Armikrog to obtain P-tonium, and, by extension, P, the baby who creates it when she laughs. So is Vognaut. What makes Vog evil and Tommy good? He decides the best way to get the freely-offered material is to forcefully extract it from P, killing her. The game mentions him being greedy, but it's largely an Informed Attribute, since every major character of the story is after the same thing anyway, and there's no real reason he can't indulge his 'greed' while keeping P alive and well — like Tommynaut does. That's not even including the idea that Tommynaut's discovery of P creating P-tonium by laughing gives an exponentially larger amount than Vognaut's method of extracting it simply by keeping the supply available with P being alive. Vognaut is so blinded by his greed he fails to see a route that would grant him more. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| Armikrog (Video Game) / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: The Emerald Room, which you encounter very early in the game, doesn't serve much of a purpose until it's involved in the final two puzzles. The hint for the very last puzzle in the game is located in one of the starting rooms, at which point it isn't exactly clear if the picture means anything at all. The unusual symbols that appear during the "speeches" by the Octovators clearly correspond to specific words and things they're describing, but since they speak an alien language, the symbols are meaningless to the player. Until you "switch" them to English, which allows you to pick out the correct symbols for the console in the Emerald Room. | |

| Armikrog (Video Game) / int_586624e5 | comment |
Genius Loci: The Heart of the Mountain (and, by extension, the "soul transfer" device that uses it as the source of its power) has the ability to transfer one's soul into nearly anything, up to, and including entire landscapes. For a brief moment within the game's prologue, Tvark had accidentally transferred his soul into the mountain he was mining, and before the events of the game, Meva transferred her soul into Armikrog itself to help protect it. | |

Arranged Marriage | |
| Armikrog (Video Game) / int_80621707 | comment |
Arranged Marriage: Deconstructed within the prequel novel in regards to Meva. She was pressured into marrying a man she didn't love by both her family and the man's and that the man was just marrying her to have better influence over the workers. She was fine with it at first, until she noticed an act of true love Tvark accidentally did (which could've gotten him killed given that he was a slave at the time). It was this act that eventually lead her to meet Tvark in-person, someone she will eventually love for real. | |

Production Throwback: The game contains several subtle nods to The Neverhood besides the obvious expies and reused mechanics. For example, pay attention to the dagger that Vognaut is shown wielding in one of the Octovators' backstory video, or to the sound effect used when Meva brings Beak Beak's spirit back to Tommynaut at the end of the game. | |

He eventually grew to love her deeper than he imagined. | |

Jump Scare: In the first room of the fortress, looking through the window enough times will have the fuzzy four-eyed predator pop up to scream in your face. | |

Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": While the novel that serves as the game's equivalent to the Hall of Records gives out the actual names of P's parents, the Octovators calls them "Mother" and "Father". | |

The Magic Goes Away: Implied to have happened to the inhabitants of Planet Irvine during the prequel novel in that it's specifically stated Tommynaut's predecessor's spaceship ran on magic "back when it was real". | |

In-Game Novel: An expy of the Hall of Records from The Neverhood, which is only a screen long, but still serves the same role of providing extensive backstory without forcing the player to learn it. | |

Our Souls Are Different: They equal to one's own consciousness within the setting. In addition, anyone who had their souls transferred into an otherwise inanimate object will find themselves fully aware of what said object is, what it can do and, if applicable, what data's stored within the object's databases. They are also able to control the functions of said object. | |

Not Quite Dead: Contrary to what is said in the opening cutscene, both Tommynaut's brothers are alive. Vognaut is the main antagonist, and Numnaut was just lost. Beak Beak can count as well, since he comes back as a ghost. And so does Tvark. | |

Expy | |
| Armikrog (Video Game) / int_e5421161 | comment |
Expy: A lot of elements of this game borrow from The Neverhood. Tommynaut feels like an obvious stand-in for Klaymen and Tvark's ghost acts like Willie Trombone, offering hints to the player, while in the backstory, he feels like an alternate take on Hoborg. Vognaut is a blatant retread of Klogg's character. He's the main character's brother, corrupted by his own greed. He disposed of the previous inhabitants of this world, leaving him alone in it aside from a few other creatures. Vognaut is shown wielding a jagged knife, just like the one Klogg used to try and kill Hoborg. The room after the one with the puzzle involving the colored planets is this to the Hall of Records from The Neverhood in which one can read an entire novel worth of text that essentially serves as a prequel to the game itself. The Octovators are one to Willie's discs, discussing the lore of what happened in the game right before the player character showed up. The final Octovator even hands over the key to activating the console in the Emerald Room, just like how the final disc gave Klaymen the key to accessing Klogg's lair. | |
