I really wanted to like this game, I tried slogging through it on two separate occasions. The way the mystery of the town pulls you in is really well thought out, I love all of Harvest's little eccentricities, and the commentary on the normalization of violence in the media is definitely interesting (especially given the time period in which this game came out, where just two years prior there was a big controversy over violence in video games ala Mortal Kombat and Doom), but ultimately Harvester is an interesting concept that just wasn't executed very well. The whole live actors against a computer-generated background look feels extremely outdated and hasn't aged well at all, the controls are clunky (yes, even for a 90's adventure game), and a lot of the time it feels like they're being gross or obscene just for the sake of it instead of trying to make a point.
