Harold Halibut is a stop-motion sci-fi adventure game from German studio Slow Bros., which is available on Xbox, PC, PS5, and Game Pass.
Harold Halibut moves at its own pace. A point-and-click adventure built with real-world materials and then animated with stop-motion, Harold Halibut tells a story that’s at times slow and ponderous and, at others, cozy and heartwarming. It’s sort of like what would happen if Wes Anderson teamed up with Aardman Animations to make a sci-fi game. Which is to say that it’s charming and built with an incredible amount of care and detail.
There are quaint apartments with comfy chairs, stuffed bookshelves, and tea rooms. A literal tube system transports residents from place to place. Later on, you’ll head to an alien settlement that truly feels alien, with perhaps the strangest library I’ve ever seen. My favorite feature is a zoom button that lets you stop and take it all in. There’s one particular reading nook that I must’ve passed a dozen times, but I would always pause for a closer inspection just because it was so chill.
