Harold Halibut
We simply can’t stop looking at Harold Halibut, with an absolutely stunning aesthetic that is hand-crafted using traditional sculpting and model-making techniques. With full voice acting and a lot of zany characters to meet and interact with, this point-and-click adventure is a visual stand-out, not just this week, but for the year.
