Summary

Harold Halibut is a handmade narrative game about friendship, and life on a city-sized spaceship submerged in an alien ocean.

It's been 250 years since your home - an ark-like spaceship - fled an Earth on the verge of cold war to find a habitable planet on which to preserve the human race.
You are Harold, a young lab assistant for the ship's lead scientist, Jeanne Mareaux. While most of the ship's inhabitants have reconciled themselves to a life lived aboard the sunken ship, Mareaux still works tirelessly to find a way for the ship to leave the planet and find a new, dryer home.

But of course the weird, wonderful and diverse people of the Fedora keep Harold busy too. Until one fateful encounter plunges Harold into a new world that nobody could have guessed existed - and one that may hold the key to Mareaux's re-launch plans.

Join Harold as he explores a vibrant retro-future world, talks (with full voice acting) to its inhabitants, and occasionally goes hands on by sticking screwdrivers in things, operating complex machinery, and more in his quest to find the true meaning of 'home'.

Slow Bros.' game combines charming claymation and meticulous craftsmanship with a bold, yet potentially divisive gameplay approach that reflects its protagonist's mundane life and emphasizes narrative over action. Despite losing its focus and reducing interactivity over time, its captivating characters and thought-provoking themes create an unforgettable audiovisual experience for some, while others may find it tedious.

Harold Halibut overstays its welcome like a free diver that descends too far. Its painfully boring gameplay consists of walking back and forth as the story unhurriedly transpires. Still, the oddball characters and sublime stop-motion aesthetics may hook a few gamers who are happy to wade in the shallows.

The ending is a good payoff to a sweet story, with plenty of chuckles and surprises along the way.
