The one your grandma warned you about.

Harvester, the infamous adventure game exploring the darkest corners of human psyche and boasting graphic violence in the best tradition of b-movies, is available 60% off on GOG.com. That's only $2.39 for the next 24 hours!

[url=http://www.gog.com/game/harvester][/url]Remember, this is all just a game. You'll play as the amnesiac Steve (who is such a kidder!) as you try to figure out why you should join the Order of the Harvest Moon and discover the horror that lurks just beneath Harvest's small-town veneer. Meet some of the strangest characters to ever grace the computer screen--such as Mr. Pottsdam who really, really loves red meat or Colonel Monroe who guards the nuclear missile base and holds The Button. Harvest is a lovely town and the locals aim to keep it that way, no matter the cost...

Harvester takes every possible opportunity to throw gore and graphic violence at the player. It wasn't, however, designed only to shock the audience. It's trippy story taking off in small-town America and touching down in mass-murderville can easily be attributed with a deeper meaning. How dark is the darkness at the bottom of the human soul? In its own campy, over-the-top way, this unique title looks for the answer to that question. With traditional puzzle-oriented point-and-click gameplay, live-action sequences, and characters portrayed by real-life actors, this nearly 20 year old game is still more than enjoyable. That is, if you can stomach the gore.

If you want to see a game that would never have a chance to be made in modern times, you really need a copy of Harvester, for only $2.39 on GOG.com. The 60% off gem promo discount will last until Tuesday, July 22, at 9:59AM GMT.

phaolo: I was tempted to try this, despite the bad reviews, but then I watched a few parts of a longplay.. and I'm not tempted anymore lol.
The father in bed, the teacher with kids.. the baby's eyes.. wtf it just seems a clumsy gory game :\
I thought the same thing until I learned more about the game's development. Part of the reason it looks and plays is because it was made in the style of a low budget horror movie. If it's like an atypical 90's over the top, cheesy and gory horror movie it's because the developers WANTED it to be like that.

I noticed that, but if you use the style of a b-movie, you don't need to also copy its faults!
The story in this game is quite BS.
