Great Game
This game must have had a very niche market and limited advertising in 1996, because I had never heard of it then. I'm kind of sad about that. I just finished it and I love it! It's definitely not scary by any means and most of the acting is pretty cheesy, but it's so disturbing that it's amazing. You play as Steve, a young man who arrives in the town of Harvest and has amnesia. He can't remember anything and everyone thinks he's joking. You learn of a place called The Lodge and something just isn't quite right about the town. It's up to you to uncover the mystery of what's really going on here. Overall the game itself is pretty straightforward. You point and click your way through, picking up items, talking to folks, combining certain inventory items, etc. It's your typical 90s fare. For those who didn't grow up in the 80s or 90s, some of the puzzles may stump you. There's a couple that really are nonsensical. I had practically zero issues getting through all of them, but there were one or two that took me some time. I also grew up in a time where you had to take notes, make multiple saves and try everything (HINT: Do these things for this game! It makes life easier). The story itself is a bit scrambled but overall it does its job for what it is. The game has two potential endings as well. The game is also hilarious. It's obvious enough the graphics are dated, but that's part of the charm! For the price of the game, I highly recommend playing it. I had a blast and it gave me nostalgic feels. One thing to note: SAVE OFTEN, especially when you get to the Lodge. The game was fine until I got inside the Lodge and then I started having quite a few random crashes. It could've been just bad luck for me, but better safe than sorry!
Is this helpful to you?
