Waste of time that thinks itself clever
I’ve heard very differing opinions on Harvester. It’s either a disgusting, shock for shock horror kind of nonsense, or a clever commentary of sorts on media. I was a little curious about which is it, so I decided to try it. You’re Steve, you wake up in the town of Harvest, population 51, with amnesia. And your mother tells you about an imminent annual blood drive, where you would be “expected to give” and where they “don’t use needles”. The only way to be exempt is to join a Lodge – a mysterious organization that seems to hold much sway in the town, with an impressive, castle-like headquarters in the centre. What follows is a rather low-brow accumulation of low-quality filth: gore, cannibalism, sexual violence, body horror, harming children and things like that. All given in a campy, a little bit over-the-top package. The aforementioned over the top feel is, by the way, one of the reasons why none of the “shocking” things in the game are actually shocking, since you can’t really take them seriously. So the game isn’t even shocking per se, it’s just... weird and kinda gross at times. Is there a “message”? Well, yes, kinda. But the message is totatally not worth going through the game for, nor is it really that clever or profound. As far as the point and click adventure part is concerned, Harvester seems pretty standard. To make matters weirder, shooting and melee combat elements appears rather out of nowhere at the end of the game. They add nothing to the game in my opinion, and are rather unwieldy as far as controls go. Overall, I really believe after finishing it, that Harvester is trash. It’s “message” is trite and probably thinks of itself as a lot more clever than it’s actually is. I do kinda regret playing Harvester and I think it was a waste of time, but if you’d like to see how it plays and judge for yourself, you can see it on my youtube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPzYykOmL8s&list=PLp4TpsJ7HUWXQuETyFICHCThcmw4O-nf1
