TL;DR Summary

Harold Halibut is a visually stunning, retro sci-fi adventure game set on a submerged colony spaceship, but its slow pacing and repetitive fetch-quests detract from its potential. The game's hand-made, weathered visuals and retro-British humor shine in moments, but the relentless, slow progression and rudimentary puzzles wear down the experience. The story's lack of progression, unlikable characters, and lengthy dialogues contribute to the game's flaws, despite its genuine warmth and philosophical themes. While the intentional boredom may be an intriguing experiment, the execution falls short, making Harold Halibut a flawed but visually striking experience.
