Designer Mason Lindroth released the first Hylics back in 2015, the culmination of his various experiments combining abstract claymation with JRPGgame systems. Hylics 2 has been in the works ever since, and as the latest preview trailer shows, it seems to be coming along nicely.

While the presentation of Hylics 2 is reminiscent of the SNES’s Clayfighter on acid, it is a pretty conventional JRPG at heart. There’s an overworld map where you can explore and interact with other people, objects, and enemies, as well as a battle mode for when you’re actually fighting stuff. If you’ve ever wanted to play something like EarthBound but somehow 10 times weirder, you’re in luck.
