You wake up one morning to a town full of strangers and inexplicable sights. You share your home with your not so perfect family and your supposed fiancee lives next door. Then you are plunged into a nightmare! Your fiancee is missing and you find a hideous bloody skull and spinal chord draped across her bed! Is it hers? What is going on? The only clue left behind is an engraved invitation for you to enter...
THE ORDER OF THE HARVEST MOON
...a mysterious organisation that controls the town in way you don't (or can't) understand.
Is the order behind this gruesome execution? What are their motives?
One thing is certain, you're going to get to the bottom of this killing, or die trying.

You always were a kidder, Steve!
You always were a kidder Steve
A product of its time trying to convey messages that often feel exaggerated, Harvester is a point and click adventure game with combat segments, heavy use of pre-rendered backgrounds and full motion segments initially released in 1996 and re-released on Steam in 2014.
This game is a complicated one to describe. On the mechanics side, it is very similar to most point and click adventure games, where the player interacts with the environment, characters, and items, where those interactions are then integral to solving puzzles, but it also contains an awkward combat system involving all from hand-to-hand combat to using bladed weapons. Sure, one can adapt to this unusual combination of mechanics, but it can feel as pleasant as a combination of yellow mustard and chocolate.
Harvester starts with the typical amnesiac protagonist, in a twisted 1950s small town, where you are soon labeled as Steve, that apparently always was a “kidder”. Exploring the town of Harvest you`ll find many characters that not only allow the choice of specific topics of conversation but also allow the input of terms to further learn about your new surroundings.
Many themes are reoccurring in this strange place, but none seem more urgent than the Lodge and the importance of you entering its halls as a member. The game is divided into days, where progress is directly tied to the unraveling of the story.
Filled with gory imagery and complicated topics, Harvester tries, and to some extent, manages to discuss topics like violence in media and games, desensitization, among others.
Overall, although this game may have not aged in the most graceful way, and the tone of the ideas presented in it are incredibly overblown, Harvester is an interesting experience, especially if you already enjoy point and click adventure games with an extremely different direction than LucasArts and Sierra ever offered, and for that reason I highly recommend this game.
If you enjoyed this review, I would like to invite you to visit Backlog log my curator page for more recommendations and reviews.
A trip down memory lane for all the little boys and girls. One of the most wholesome and down to earth games I have ever played. The combat is PHENOMENAL and the cutscenes are a MASTERPIECE. Not only will this game wet your appetite for a good evening indoors but a timeless test of time that showcases the timely time of the 90s game time. A 106 out of 10. Drop all your duties and forsake your responsibles and put at least 60 hours a week into this game. You will be awarded by Saint Peter at the pearly games with a custom achievement. Thumbs up emoji.
GET THIS ON GOG, MANY CUT SCENES DO NOT WORK AS STEAM VERSION USES INCORRECT VERSION OF DOS BOX
Quirky 90's game. Has some Twin Peaks vibes mixed with Hellraiser.
Roadrunner cartoons? Heheh... Roadrunner cartoons! AHAHAHA.
TLDR: Easily one of the weirdest games ever made. Point-and-click gameplay meets a bizarre story packed with social commentary and shock-value. Took less than 6 hours to complete.
Pros:
- Far from flawless, but intriguing story will keep you hooked the entire game. The writers are extremely creative and no subject matter is taboo.
- Great art-style with an impressive blend of pixel art and live-action rotoscoping. Ahead of its time.
- The shock value and humor add to the experience making Harvester an unforgettable experience.
Cons:
- Some aspects haven't aged well since 1996, as you'd expect. Wonky controls, the monitor refreshes resolutions in between cutscenes and gameplay.
- The story becomes a bit self-indulgent by the end.
- The second half of the game feels like the developers started throwing random ideas at the wall. The third fourth of the game is relatively weak; but the game gets back on track right at the finish line (pacing issues).
- Some puzzles are incredibly obscure/difficult and don't feel fair.
You always were a kidder, Steve
Please Play this game. It is a work of art It might be *cough* (the most violent video game ever) *cough* but it has a very good plot the main character Steve Mason is a very good main character (actor Kurt Kistler is not a good guy he got arrested) there are some scenes that grossed me out like the mystery of motherly love one but either then all that its a very good game.
what the hell

Masterpiece of a game ngl... top 15 of mine fs
I was kind of enjoying the first 3/4 of this game, it wasn't perfect, but a fun throwback to my teenage days of point n click gaming. Sadly, once you enter the Lodge and begin what I assume to be the final act of the game, it all goes to sh*t.
The combat system is unbelievably janky, to the point where killing an enemy is sheer luck. After 2 hours of attempting to muddle through it, and reloading my saved game countless times, I finally gave up out of frustration.
Guess I'll watch a Youtube playthrough to see how it ends.
Fortunately, I paid less than £1 for this in a sale, but it's still annoyed me as I wanted to see how the story played out.
The Serbian Film of video games. Vile, repulsive, disgusting, offensive. You kill everyone, including children, old people, and hookers. Metal as fuck. SATAN LIVES.
Well, that was strange.
I hope one day we get a remaster of this game.
It's world is so captivating, yet the gameplay is so painfully dated and frankly impossible to intuit.
It frustrates me that I will never be able to beat this game without some sort of tutorial, because I'd love to experience it all for myself.
Masterpiece of a game, truly a one of a kind product of its time, when people werent afraid to push the boundaries.
Real retro horror point and click game ! It`s awesome! The game has different endings and rly good puzzles.
B game , absolute classic
I guess I've always been a kidder!
-John Harvester
Harvester is an amazing time capsule of the 90s ESRB panic about violence in video games. This game isn't for everyone, it boasts itself as "the most violent game ever made" and it is incredibly bizarre.
I have a video here showcasing the game and the reason it was created here:
https://youtu.be/tzP-OTJcuh8?si=RS6TOdSZpTXUabq5
I love this game so much oh my god
The cutscenes are freakin awesome. Story is super intriguing
this game feels illegal to own
ridiculous
Underrated horror masterpiece, buy it
Lol no
“You always were a kidder, Steve.”
Harvester is one of those games that you, for better or worse, never forget having played for as long as you live. Lumped in with just about every other banned video game talked about on YT, Harvester was controversial upon its release due to excessive violence, gore, perverse content, and just about everything else that parents were up in arms about at the time. However, I feel the genius behind this gem of a game is its examination of violence that was and continues to pervade society through perpetual institutions such as the military-industrial complex, religious fundamentalism, the media, the nuclear family, and so much more. Rather than tackle these complex issues or address their ills, most ignore them or even go so far as to censor anything and anyone who brings them up.
Harvester does such an excellent job of portraying this by having Steve, the protagonist, go through various trials and tribulations as one of the only sane characters in a world full of maniacs and bystanders who get in your way by making very little sense or by outright trying to harm you. Everything you witness and do in the game, especially when within the lodge of the Cult of the Harvest Moon , is designed to make the player think about real-world moral and ethical dilemmas and where they can literally or figuratively lead to. I could go further into this, but it would take far too long.
Ultimately, the game offers a critique of American society using stomach-churning visuals and hilarious B-movie FMV acting that left a significant psychic impression on my mind. The gameplay doesn’t matter since it isn’t the point of the game, and it isn’t going to impress almost 3 decades after release. Play it so you can say you have and think upon every claim sowed by the people of Harvest. At the end of the game, you will reap the decision your soul has grown.
Oops! All kidding
Borderline unplayable mess.
goated
You always were such a kidder Steve
the game was fun but at the last area i got softlocked out of the ending because i didnt grab an item that was locked behind a door and i cant revert to a save.
Holy shit this is a banger. Story is great and really creepy. Every character (in the town at least) is super unique and memorable. Controls aren't too dated.
One thing to keep in mind is that this is not a short game, it is I would say 9+ hours (had it open while doing chores). So make sure to allocate appropriate time to play it, I tried to get it finished this morning thinking I only had a few more mins left.
Some puzzles are pretty hard so I did end up using a guide a few times.
It is a tiny bit clunky with the movement during combat but for the most part it's not a problem. Feels a bit not great playing as the protagonist as the IRL person has been charged multiple times with owning child pornography...
Legit a 9/10 game, wish I could erase my memory and experience it again!
oh my gooood, this game is like soft lock simulator, forget to pick up a item at the very beginning-> get soft locked 30 min after, use an item on something you shouldn't have -> soft locked, don't visit a zone at the right time of the day -> soft locked, kill someone-> u guessed it soft locked, picked up an item too early making the time of the day change -> soft locked....
Also the items you can grab are indistinguishable from the ones you cant pick up, and you have to click an item 3 times to pick it up: Once to get information about it, second to "use" it and third to pick it up, so have fun spam clicking every single thing in the game just because you don't wanna miss something and have to go back to a safe file from 30 minutes ago.
The story however is quite interesting and i like the aesthetics so im just playing through the game with a guide on the side.
Maybe im just being dense and it is not as bad as i make it seem else i cant explain how no one other than me is having so much trouble playing through the game.
I will however still give it a positive review since im enjoying the game altogether.
kino
Very fucked up game, but still very enjoyable ;) Progressing in this game is pain in the ass, so had to rely on a guide for some parts. Another thing to mention: As a person who dislikes chess, I found it very traumatizing having to either beat a game of chess or get the shit beaten out of me by a life-sized chess piece in order to reach the end of the game....yeyy
Incredibly ahead of its time, one of the most entertaining and bizarre experiences Ive had playing a game.
You always were a diddler, Steve.
Seriously Steve, stop kidding so much you're starting to get on my nerves
This game is SO bloody weird and disturbing. Steve, you are a real kidder.
the actor of the main character was arrested for having copious amounts of cp on his hard drive
Nightdive Studios can kiss my ass. After all the money I have given them over the years they ban me for a POSITIVE review of Turok 3.
Bunch of emo's all of them.
That is all.
"You always were a kidder, Steve."
Loved this game in the 90's when i first played it. this is still worth a play now. The story is wacky and silly, the FMV scenes are still as good as i remember and just as crazy.
Iconic. Riveting. Avant-garde.
