Harold Halibut is a handmade narrative game about friendship and life on a city-sized spaceship submerged in an alien ocean. Join Harold as he explores a vibrant retro-future world in his quest to find the true meaning of ‘home’.

It’s been 250 years since your home - an ark-like spaceship - fled an Earth on the verge of cold war to find a habitable planet to preserve the human race.

You are Harold, a young lab assistant for the ship’s lead scientist, Jeanne Mareaux. While most of the ship’s inhabitants have reconciled themselves to a life lived aboard the sunken ship, Mareaux still works tirelessly to find a way for the ship to leave the planet and find a new, dryer home.

But the weird, wonderful and diverse people of the FEDORA I keep Harold busy too… Until one fateful encounter plunges Harold into a world no one could have imagined - and one that may hold the key to Mareaux’s re-launch plans.

Join Harold as he explores a vibrant retro-future world in his quest to find the true meaning of ‘home’.

Originally announced in 2018 (and not heard of since 2021), developer Slow Bros. premiered a new trailer for their eye-catching adventure game Harold Halibut, as the team looks forward to its release in Early 2024 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

Harold Halibut is a game that began its journey with the team building real-world sets and puppets over 10 years ago. While Slow Bros. is not quite ready to share an exact release date yet, the end of Harold Halibut’s development journey is in sight.

Much care and craftsmanship has gone into creating every physical object present and playable in Harold Halibut. Earlier this year, The Museum of Design Zurich welcomed Slow Bros. to display the game’s intricately detailed puppets and sets as part of the museum’s Game Design Today exhibit. Visitors left impressed that these are all objects one can interact with in a video game.

The game will also launch on Xbox Game Pass.
