[eurogamer.net]Harold Halibut review sub-aquatic sci-fi adventure is a little too prog-rock

Has anyone been following this?  It's a game that's been fully created with photogrammetry, or stop-motion for those with a penchant for more autological wordings.  It's been compared to Aardman's style and Wes Anderson movies.

You play as someone who lives in a closed communicty, namely a sunken spaceship on an alien planet.  There's some sort of emergency looming over the horizon, but you're not the heroic one man army that can stop it, or the scientist that has to come up with a solution.  You're just someone who delivers messages to the people who can actually make a difference.  And that's all that's to the game.  Fetch quests linked by exposure and cinematics.  It's a 12 hour bore.

The Eurogamer reviewer assumes that this is a deliberate choice by the developer.  If so, what do you think of this?  Is it genius or plain stupid?  Would you be open to this unique experience that is unapologetically boring?  Does this classify it as being art and if so, what does it mean if art willfully waists so much of your time?  ...


This reminds me that I kicked started a game called "Knite and the Ghost Lights" back in 2014 that was supposed to be the first stop-motion action game ever made.

They hit their goal, but they underestimated the development costs and their lead developer had some kind of visa issue and couldn't get back into whatever country they were doing the development in. Ultimately the game never got made. So not the best $20 I've ever spent...but still better than Journey.

Completed Voodoo Detective.

Awesome game, reminds me of Full Throttle a bit. First adventure game with 100% logical item use? Rarely if ever got stuck, great cast.  A delight from start to finish.

There's over 3000 games on sale on the Switch eshop right now.

You guys might want to take a look.

Best deal I saw is the Apollo Justice trilogy Remake for 67% off.

I did want it physically but not sure I can resist.

I've got a terabyte of games downloaded already. At this point my problem is storage.
