Today, Finland-based developer Second Order announced Claybook, a unique physics based puzzle game coming to the PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
According to developer Second Order, in Claybook you step into the shoes of brave kids who bring Claybook to life. The game is divided up into chapters, and with each chapter comes with new challenges, unique obstacles, and puzzles. In the game you posses clay blobs and morph them into different shapes in order to “overcome tricky situations.” Each shape is said to posses its own strengths and weakness, with some even having special powers.
Claybook is a fun puzzle-platformer with an expansive sandbox mode. However, the Switch controls can make it a lot harder to create something worthwhile.

"The last thing I’ll say is that Claybook, in all its splendor, can get glitchy. You can deform too far into the ground, and get stuck or clip in between blocks really easily. Thankfully, there is a rewind button that will pull you out of any situation. This comes in handy when you are trying to make a bridge or arc, and you take a tumble. By nature, a game about making a mess can get a little messy in terms of physics, but the convenience of the rewind feature is deeply appreciated. And that’s Claybook. It’s not groundbreaking and it’s fairly short. But it has a lot of potential, and I hope it continues to be supported. The online works well, despite being a bit basic, but the editor is pretty robust if you can get past the learning curve."
Second Order — founded by former Ubisoft – RedLynx Studio veterans — is thrilled to announce that their colorful clay-manipulating physics-based puzzle adventure “Claybook” is now available on Nintendo Switch.
