Harvester
The game is played via a point-and-click interface. Players must visit various locations in the fictional town of Harvest, which can be done via an overview map. By talking to different townspeople and clicking on special "hotspots", you learn information and collect items that advance the story and gameplay. Harvester also features a combat system in which players can attack other characters by selecting a weapon and then clicking on the target. Both the target and the character have a limited amount of health available, so either the player or the target can die. Players can choose to advance in the game by solving puzzles or by killing one of the non-playable characters.
Story
The game is about Steve, who wakes up in 1953 with a case of amnesia in a strange town called Harvest. He can't remember anything from his past, and when he tells the people who claim to be his family, as well as the townspeople, they all tell him what a joker he is. All the townspeople are extremely eccentric and many seem to be satire or stereotypes rather than real people. They all keep stressing to Steve that he should join the Lodge. This is a large building in the center of town that serves as the headquarters of the Order of the Harvest Moon. Steve visits the Sergeant at Arms in the Lodge, who tells him that all his questions will be answered in the building. To get in, he must first join the Order of the Harvest Moon. But to do so, he must complete a series of tasks, ranging from simple vandalism to arson, in order to be accepted.
