Harold Halibut is worth checking out for its one-of-a-kind art style alone, though it makes some key compromises to achieve it.

Harold Halibut Score Details “ Harold Halibut makes some key compromises to make its eye-popping claymation art style work.” Pros Cons It’s not the ocean that’ll drown you in Harold Halibut ; it’s complacency.

Lost in space Harold Halibut is a narrative-focused adventure game that shares tonal similarities to the animated works of Wes Anderson. Set on the Fedora, a sunken spaceship that’s turned into an isolated town linked by a tube transit system, the 10-hour story is told through dry humor, understated social satire, and banter with local eccentrics.

Though it struggles as a work of interactive fiction, Harold Halibut works on the strength of its sharp writing. The sweet story earns its emotional beats, slowly painting a picture of an isolated man learning to break out of his comfort zone on his own terms. Rather than being carried along by wherever the Fedora and its hare-brained pseudo-scientists take him next, he must learn to walk his own path outside of the rusty prison he was born into.
