If you fancy oldschool, yet original adventure games, you should definitely check out Harold Halibut. What is the most striking about the project, is that its entire graphics – all settings and characters – are handmade. As a result, Harold Halibut plays like a typical point-and-click adventure game, but it looks like a stop-motion film. Here is the first teaser trailer that provides a glimpse at how much heart and effort the developers poured into making some wood, metal, textile, clay, and other materials come to live:

The game is set within a spacecraft which crashed on a strange planet made up of water. While one of the lead scientists remaining on board gets busy working on relaunching the ship, you get to play as a young and clumsy janitor, named Harold Halibut, who assists her in that undertaking. Apart from tending to his daily duities Harold will get to discover the ship’s secrets. The developers at Slow Bros. promise to enrich the game with unique nautical atmosphere and self-reflective humor.
