31 of 31 · most liked firstThe Scarlet Harvest is a indie horror walking simulator with very mild puzzle and action sequences during the second half of the game. The story involves your character arriving to a halloween house party on an abandoned farm, where all hell eventually breaks loose. The game takes approximately 2 hours to complete 100% of the achievements. Remember to light the fireworks in the backyard, they are fun to watch! + The game's atmosphere and graphics are well done, especially if you have a high…

unlabelledView post →A short Halloween-themed game that feels like a B-movie. Visually detailed and atmospheric, but bogged down by tedious item searches and vague objectives. You play as Frankie, a young guy heading out to a Halloween party at an old farm. But this isn’t your usual low-key get-together where a few friends drink around a bonfire. Frankie’s friend went all out this year, transforming the farm into a full-on haunted attraction. The place is overflowing with Halloween decorations, creepy props, and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So the Scarlet Harvest was a very short demo, so I also played Hellmart! That game is like Shift at Midnight, but worse. It's going on the wishlist. Thank you for those that could watch. I know it was a random stream, but I'll get better with a schedule.
unlabelledView post →The Scarlet Harvest was great! The tonality, the environment, the interaction, the details if you really explore and interact with things - bonus for the humor! It even had some pretty decent jumpscares. I enjoyed this and my community loved seeing this game being played on stream. We all had loads of fun with it. Feedback: Maybe I am dumb, but it took way too long for me to figure out that we had a lightsource. (Yes, I should have checked the settings xD) But I would recommend having a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Status: 100% Completed Just finished the game and WOW, I didn't expect it to be that good! I really love the vibe and attention to details is crazy, the moment you get chainsaw the game becomes even cooler. It's super ambitious for a solo project, you can even drive a car and both controls and combat are nicely done. The game is also very polished and optimized - I didn't encounter any bugs at all and I don't remember any slowdowns or scripts not working correctly, but there are two cumbersome…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This one starts really strong as a Halloween game. Love the atmosphere of the party you attend. Once the actual story kicks in it loses some of that fun and becomes a generic indie slasher game with the typical walking around looking for a key to progress gameplay. Still worth it for that spooky vibe since we rarely get Halloween games. Legit this dev should just make a Halloween sim. Decorate your house and throw a party for friends. That doesn't exist and would be really unique.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Breakdown: Graphics: 8/10 - A lot of asset flips, but the atmosphere and overall look of the game really was done well. Varied environments with well placed lighting help pull this one in. There's a few janky character movements on models, and when chain sawing you simply just gib the monsters, but overall done well enough for a indie dev. Story: 6/10 - Standard slock horror/slasher movie fare, but without the deep lore. There's moments where it feels like it's trying to build it, but then…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really really trashy but still not worth the money
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wish developers would stop using Copyright music in their games. When people try to make content or promote the game for the developer, and then get hit with DMCA after uploading content, it just completely puts content creators in a position to never trust the developer. Do better.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i wanted to like this but it was basically unplayable lol. not good
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice short game (I completed it in about an hour); not as good as Jack Holmes, but worth a play!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is just the run around. Go ask this guy, go ask him. Not fun at all.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Having in mind that this is done by a single developer and at a reduced price, it is a great game. If you love horror movies, and specially thinking on we are in Hallowen, you just need to give it a try! So thematic!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There is no way people genuinely praise this game to the degree I'm seeing in these reviews. The dumb, campy tone is great for the first 30 minutes, but once the actual game starts, all fun goes out the window. And then drives off a cliff, in a car that's on fire. Signposting for some sections is entirely reliant on dialogue that's misspelled or unclear. (Zack and the windmill) Lighting Issues make it IMPOSSIBLE to see in some sections, especially when you don't have the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game was decent.... lighting was buns.... boss fight with the lady at the end made no sense, no way for me to defend myself against her and crack her shield, she was too overpowered, also no explanation for how to defeat her, made me rage quit. 3/10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game to have a scary night, perfect for playing on halloween. If you like campy horror movies this is your game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great Halloween Horror Game. If you love Halloween, then this is your game period. Lots of Halloween Decorations, Mazes, Haunted houses, Crop Fields, just like your favourite Haunted attraction. Killer that chase you, Sneak around and boss battles and a story wrapped up in this beautiful Halloween game. Only down side is no pickup highlights for essential items everything else is a blast for Halloween. :P
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Motion Blur that cant be turned off is the real horror; made me quite nauseous. The controls are a bit janky, and the voice acting is really bad. I do not recommend it even for the cheap price...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun horror game where you show upto a house party with the sacred bag of ice. Take part in the legend of the haunted well right outside the house, and its deep secret of hatred. https://youtu.be/tYKZdqt5_SM
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fantastic little campy horror. Just like with Jack Holmes, here you can expect some intentional or unintentional (?) cornball dialogue from the protagonist (this is a positive), surprisingly awesome music that'll have you stop and listen, and interesting vibrant visuals. Had some performance issues and FPS drops here and there, but otherwise an all around fun experience. If you haven't played Jack Holmes: Master of Puppets though, definitely go and do that before picking this one up.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I loved Jack Holmes : Master of Puppets and The Scarlet Harvest delivers! Great little title from @TonyDevGame once again!! Worth a play through. There were a few small bugs but nothing that stops you from completing the game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Crazy and badass.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I left my bad opinions about the demo and the dev gifted me a free copy. This isn't normally the type of game I play, but I thought it fair to leave an honest review, but the dev didn't ask or even reach out. I went into this with a bit of skepticism and it has it's ups and downs but it was a fun playthrough. The game doesn't take itself too seriously, the writing and plot are a bit campy in the way 80s slashers were; think overdrawn stereotype characters, over the top blood and chainsaw…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Another awesome horror game by TonyDev. I love the 80s campy vibes of this one.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a well crafted game. I enjoyed every second of it. Nice gory and the attraction was spot on. Took me about 2 hours to finish. Thumbs up!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just Amazing from beginning to end <3
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →At the end of the game, I would say I overall had a good time playing this. The story was fun, the atmosphere was great, and the graphics were pretty good. The monsters were genuinely terrifying, and some moments were so much fun to play! BUT there were so many things that could have been improved to make the game play smoother and less frustrating. There could have been a lot more direction about how to do basic tasks in the game to help save players time and stress. And, instead of main…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Beat the game with 15/16 achievements. A magnificent spooky realistic horror halloween game bringing you to a colorful and silly halloween party gone wrong, explore the house uncover its mysteries and experience gruesome scenes as you travel your way through bloody underground labs chainsawing your way through nasty monsters! A super fun game especially for the halloween vibes and immersion, 10/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great Halloween Indie Game!!! Everything you'd want in a Halloween game, from atmosphere, to party scene with friends dialogues, to haunted attractions, to slasher bosses, you get stealth game play, action game play, and a few interesting puzzles, and finally you get an interesting story wrapping it all together. With that said, from a technical perspective, it is an indie game, so expect the lower quality writing, cheaper dialogue animations, indie graphics, and occasional crashes on…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very cool horror game with some jumpscares here and there. The boss fights were interesting even in the final boss there was some frame drops. There was one part that was annoying because you basically can't see because its too dark and you only have a lighter and you need to jump to other platforms. If you like horror games with some fights,walking sim and puzzles you gonna enjoy this game.
