- Fixed bug with colliders in Chapter 5 that were introduced with the last Patch

Dear inhabitants of the FEDORA I, we have discovered something super cool: The first patch for Harold Halibut is now live!
We focused on fixing some of the most prominent bugs, like the Forschergeist Achievement and Harold being stuck at certain interactions, alongside some more tweaks and graphical polish. For detailed information, please have a look at the changelog. We hope these fixes improve your overall experience of the game.

Changelog:

• the Forschergeist achievement wasn't triggered despite collecting all notebook pages, this is finally fixed now - assuming that you had already all notebook pages up to the epilogue, it will be enough to just load the epilogue checkpoint and collect the ones during epilogue. Once you have aquired the last one, the achievement/trophy will pop
  
• When loading a checkpoint without exiting the game, the notedbook pages weren't reset, so there could be duplicated entries etc. This was only "visually" the case (internally the game behaved according to the state saved in the checkpoint). This is fixed now.
  
• the "Chris watches TV" notebook page could easily be missed, we made it easier to get it now.
  
• the subtitles weren't displayed during 2 montage cutscenes towards the end of the game, which is fixed now.
  
• Dialogue options for the password-door & the second "letter-reading" with Buddy weren't correctly translated and invisible when using a language with non-latin characters. This is now working as intended.
  
• fixed a rare bug where Harolds arms could get stuck at the microscope or sample.
  
• fixed a potential blocker that could be triggered when going straight to Weeoo without talking with Mareaux and obtaining the final task before.
  
• fixed some issues with skipping dialogues
  
• collider adjustments
  
• tweaked Dead Zones in Doppeldecker & RFZF to reduce motion sickness
  
• minor visual polish
  
• further minor fixes and improvements

An important info to the Slow Bro Achievement: The Timer doesn't count in menus (which is why the playtime shown by steam and your actual playtime will likely not match). In case you are at the end of the game and the achievement hasn't triggered yet, you can just stand around (or sit in the cozy Lounge until you get your achievement :) We are thinking about ways to improve upon this as this confused a lot of our lovely players :)

We are already working on the next patch which will also contain a surprise for our Italian players ;)

It all started on a rainy night in 2010 with a group of friends and a dream…

Making this game wasn’t easy! We used over 10kg of clay just making our various puppets and over 50kg of plaster for our sets.

Even just Harold’s room underwent many iterations through the years:

So we’re excited to be here, finally releasing Harold Halibut. You can finally go get the game and play it for yourself with a 15% limited time discount. It took over a decade’s worth of dream-chasing, so please enjoy discovering the world we built for you. 🚀

PS - We made a brand new trailer to celebrate us launching the game! It features some of the nice things people have said about Harold Halibut so far, so give it a look here!

Hallo! After 10 years of development, we’re so excited to share that Harold Halibut has a launch date. You can expect to play our game on April 16! That’s in less than three weeks!

You can check out our trailer here - we made it for the Future Game Show Spring Showcase, and it shows some new scenes that hint at the game’s story.

If you are interested in Harold Halibut and have not had time to wishlist in the past ten years (it happens to all of us), please consider wishlisting to get a notification on our release date!

Devs get unsuspecting friends to play the demo for the first time with them

Devs get unsuspecting friends to play the demo for the first time with them

Hallo! Big news today as we just put out our first official Harold Halibut demo!!! 10 years of crafting puppets and sets, 3d scanning and game-making leaves us really excited to finally share a glimpse of the game in anticipation of the big release this year.

You can play it right now, it covers roughly 1.5 hours of the very beginning of the game, some people have needed 3 to get through :) It’s a bit of a tease because even though the demo is fairly long it ends right where the game starts to really pick up! It's also a larger download size because we wanted to keep the full 4k quality!

We also opened a TikTok account[www.tiktok.com] recently where we'll be showing a bit more of the behind the scenes process so go give us a follow there as well!

Please Wishlist the game if you haven’t already so you’re sure to be in the know about the big release, we’re giddy to find out how you like it!
