I adore Harold Halibut for its thoughtful story and earnest characters, but holy moly was I ready for it to be done by the 10-hour mark. And the thing is, I don't really know how you compress the semi-puzzler, mostly-walking-around gameplay without compromising the story. I'm not a game designer, after all. But still, just a lot of traveling to places, doing a conversation/menial task, going to other places, and repeating ad nausem until it's time to go to sleep. Much like real life, I suppose.
