I had a great time with Harvester. It had a good, systemic base for ongoing struggle and drama. The core mechanic of harvesting, butchering, and placing the meat into troughs was excellent. It's a toy well worth exploring.

Special shoutout to the art. The character and tileset are excellent, and the meats and cuts or both gross and humorous.

I'd love to see it expanded with dialog and a bit of plot. Lacking a drip of narrative, the experience grew to be more "bleak" than "horror".
