i skipped to the conclusion to avoid spoilers as much as possible (haven't finished this game yet), but i will come back to watch the rest later. i find this game (so far) to be extremely charming, but i do have a certain level of tolerance for games that are very light on gameplay as long as i enjoy the world and/or characters--and Harold Halibut seems very focused on its characters (with some interesting worldbuilding thrown in as well). honestly, i think the behind-the-scenes is the most interesting part of the game. it's styled after stop-motion animation, but it's actually entirely animated in 3D. what the team did was take 3D photogrammetry scans of puppets and every set/location and turn all that into the world, props and characters. the actual puppets they made aren't articulated. it makes the world feel so unique, though, and a lot more "real" in a sense than just a 3D model would. also, i feel like added the bit where Harold sings in because his voice actor is an actual opera singer. i'm not complaining, though.

So good to have a new video! I have never heard of this before, but it really does sound like a fun story. If only there were some good gameplay to go with it haha

A vaguely European way is my new go to description of strangeness.

The new Clay Fighter looks great!

This is the best review I’ve seen of this game- the criticisms are detailed, offer solutions, and still appreciate what makes the game work. Thank you!

[@RandomGameReviews]

my god.. his cold dead eyes..

[@RandomGameReviews]

Like looking in the mirror...

[@catandrobbyflores]

Whoohoo, new video!

[@GreedyRadish]

Seems like they really wanted to make a claymation film but decided to go with a video game for reasons unknown. It's a shame, the art style and overall aesthetic is really charming.

[@RandomGameReviews]

I think this would have been a really solid two hour movie
