We last seen Harold halibut at GDC 2018, but the people of the German indie studio Slow Bros. are back with another fascinating preview of this unique game.
Harold halibut life started as a dinner conversation about our love of stop motion and story games, ”the developers explain. “It wasn’t long after that we started building dollhouse-sized sets and dolls in our bedrooms. Welded metal, textile sewn to small wooden floorboards and clay faces the size of walnuts immerse the player in the tactile world of Harold. “
The result, as you can see above, is a project somewhere in between Double Fines Broken age and a stop-motion film by Wes Anderson Isle of DogsAnd while Kotaku said senior reporter Nathan Grayson Harold halibut was “like a streamlined take on standard point and click adventures with a worryingly clumsy dialogue” during his GDC 2018 demo, I’m absolutely ready to immerse myself in this beautiful handcrafted game however it plays.
Harold halibut coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC soon.
