Indie studio Slow Bros. released a new teaser showing impressions of their upcoming title „Harold Halibut – A Handmade Adventure Game“. “We think this teaser will give a good feel for the world of the game“, says Onat Hekimoglu, the game designer.
Harold Halibut is a modern adventure game, with a strong focus on storytelling and exploration. The player slips into the shoes of Harold, a young janitor and lab assistant, fulfilling his duties amidst a diverse community that lives under water.
The game’s unique look is achieved by 3D-scanning „real-world“ models, which are created using classic sculpting, set-building and puppet fabrication techniques, providing a handmade, analog feel while ensuring the dynamic gameplay experience of modern 3D games.
Set in the wreck of a spaceship, stuck under sea on a distant water planet, Harold goes about his daily routine. This includes assisting Professor Jeanne Mareaux, one of the lead scientists on board, in her attempt to find a way to relaunch the ship.
Their plan is soon to be interrupted by an encounter with the unchartered world outside.
