I've always be interested in stop motion animation and thought it would be nice to make a list of games that use this type of animation. There's a notably low number of games that fit this category, surprisingly (although perhaps not really when considering production costs) even during the 90's when capture devices were more affordable and real time 3D could not yet offer matching visual fidelity.
I know I'm missing a lot of games so it'd be nice to get suggestions from you so I can add them to the list!
Please specify if it's a full game or not, and its development status.
It's ok to include games using 3D models captured from real puppets using photogrammetry.
It's not ok to include games based on other stop motion media but not using stop motion themselves (e.g. The Nightmare Before Christmas videogames).
Special cases (such as games using captured miniature environments but no stop motion characters/animation) can be discussed on a case-by-case basis.
Important: The list can include games that feature stop motion to any degree (even if only one character in the game is made this way).
Games tagged as "unconfirmed" are those which I'm almost sure use stop motion, but are pending confirmation. Please let me know if you find a source.
