    Harvester is such an amazing game because the first time you play it you're like "huh???" and then when you see someone play through it again and think about the context in which it was made, you realize it has a surprisingly cohesive throughline also here's my boxed copy I got for 20$ in like 2018

    Btw turns out the game Harvester, as jank as it is, makes for a good litmus test bc it brings up pretty dark themes so bluntly even for today. How someone reacts and engages with the game on its level reveals *a lot*

    Last night I watched a Harvester (1996) playthrough and saw those commercials for Netflix’s Squid Game: The Game™️. That along with the Persisting Horrors got me feeling very dystopian. It’s not great. We have done a not great job. Maybe my SAD is just late? 🤷🏽

    Anyone else remember the 1996 point and click adventure game Harvester? I remember stumbling across it in my youth seeking PC games and being heeby jeeb'ed out by its fever dream of a narrative and extreme levels of gore and violence. Currently browsing articles and info on it and adverts from time.

    "Bear Talks Games: Harvester." Some games have their tongue firmly in their cheek. They're cute, they're playful, they wink at the audience. Others, take the piss: these games don't so much wink as point and laugh, and certainly not with you. Harvester is the latter sort of game.
