We last saw Harold Halibut at GDC 2018, but the people of the German independent studio Slow Bros. we come back with another fascinating preview of this unique game.
“Harold Halibut It started life as a conversation over dinner about our love of stop-motion games and stories, “the developers say.” It wasn’t long after we started building sets and puppets the size of houses. of dolls in our rooms.Welded metal, fabrics sewn against tiny wooden boards, and clay faces the size of walnuts immerse the player in Harold’s tactile world. ”
The result, as you can see above, is a project between Double Fine Broken age and a stop motion film by Wes Anderson Dog Island. And while Kotaku said senior reporter Nathan Grayson Harold Halibut was “like a simplified view of the standard click-and-click adventure with a worryingly annoying dialogue” during your GDC 2018 demo, I’m absolutely ready to immerse myself in this beautiful handmade game, no matter how is played.
Harold Halibut is coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
