During your exploration of Harvest you control Steve, your character, across over 150 locations set in the town and lodge. The different places feature 3D computer rendered graphics in which digitized characters have been integrated through the blue screen technique. Quite similar to what was done for Phantasmagoria in fact, except that Harvester features full screen SVGA graphics. This controversially violent game has many video sequences, a lot of them gruesome. Many special effects were used to provide the viewer with realistic scenes such as when you die electrocuted or shot with a bullet that literally explodes your head and therefore is for mature audiences only. There are many ways to die in Harvester, but unlike most adventure games, you too can kill other people. There are 21 weapons available in the game ranging from a wrench to a shotgun that you can collect throughout the town and lodge. While it isn't wise to use them during the exploration of the town, they are vital for survival in the lodge. Players have the choice to use violence or instead find another solution to the problem. Like other adventure games, you can pick up objects and make them interact with people, other objects or mechanisms, which will eventually provide you with new items or accesses to additional locations. The dialogues are controlled by keywords that are selected in a list, where new keywords will be added depending on your previous choices, hence the importance of exploring all the possibilities of the dialogue tree. During the dialogues, you will have a picture of the character you are talking to, as well as yours, displayed in the upper corners of the screen. You will find a few healing objects in the game to restore your health. For lovers of horror films this is recommended. | ||
