Pitch for a video game:

A loose remake of the 1996 point-and-click game, “Harvester”. The game is remade in the style of choose-your-own adventure games, namely “Detroit Become Human” and “Life is Strange”.

You play as two main characters, Steve Mason (voiced and mo-capped by Finn Wolfhard) and Stephanie Pottsdam (voiced and mo-capped by Thomasin McKenzie), who are both suffering from amnesia. All they know is that they’re residents of the town of Harvest and they’re both getting married to each other. Harvest is a 1950s-style small town which is run by the mysterious Order of the Harvest Moon, which operates out of a giant castle-like structure called the Lodge.

For the first half of the game, Steve and Stephanie investigate the town in order to figure out what is going on. None of the townspeople believe they have amnesia and are all behaving rather strangely. What’s important here is that Steve and Stephanie keep getting into scenarios that’s forcing them to think a certain way. For some reason, Steve keeps witnessing acts of violence while Stephanie keeps getting “life lessons” from her parents and strangers.

For example, Steve witnesses the town’s police brutally beat up a homeless man while Stephanie watches as a girl her age is disciplined (paddled) by her teacher for talking about things that go against the town’s conservative nature. Although they’re not sure what’s going on and can’t prove it, Steve thinks he’s being desensitized to violence while Stephanie thinks she’s being indoctrinated by the town’s fascistic/ultra-conservative values.

The second half of the game has Steve and Stephanie enter the Lodge (a change from the original here is that both men and women are allowed to become members). Their goal is to reach the end of the Lodge in order to get some answers, since everyone in Harvest says that the Lodge and the Order knows all. This is where the game takes a massive left turn into surreal nightmare territory. In order to reach the end of the Lodge, Steve and Stephanie have to pass the challenges set up by the Order of the Harvest Moon, which continues the conditioning that both these characters have been receiving.

For example, Steve is forced to execute an old couple just because they’ve gotten too old to be members while Stephanie is forced to torture a doctor who was supposedly performing abortions. If the player chooses not to commit these horrible actions, they get reprimanded and run the risk of failing the challenge.

The big twist (if the player manages to get there) is that it’s revealed Harvest is a virtual reality simulation. It turns out, this is a dystopian future where the United States has become a fascist society and is at war with some unknown nation. Harvest is a form of governmental control over the population since its purpose is to warp the minds of “troublesome” citizens.

Steve is revealed to be a conscientious objector who avoided the draft while Stephanie is a left-wing activist who heavily criticized the government. Harvest was trying to turn Steve into a ready-and-willing soldier who wasn’t afraid to commit atrocities (hence the desensitization to violence). For Stephanie, Harvest was trying to force her to reject liberal/left-wing values and become a hardcore far-right fascist (hence the indoctrination to the town’s values). The game’s ending then depends on the choices you made in the game:

1) Steve and Stephanie are publicly executed by the Order (if both Stephanie and Steve fail the Lodge’s challenges before they can reach the end)

2) Steve either dies of old age inside Harvest or exits the Harvest simulation as a loyal soldier who can’t wait to go to war (only Steve makes it to the end)

3) Stephanie either dies of old age inside Harvest or exits the Harvest simulation as a fascist propagandist who renounces her original beliefs (only Stephanie makes it to the end)

4) Steve kills Stephanie and exits the Harvest simulation as a loyal soldier who can’t wait to go to war. (Steve accepts, Stephanie rejects)

5) Stephanie kills Steve and exits the Harvest simulation as a fascist propagandist who renounced her original beliefs (Stephanie accepts, Steve rejects)

6) Stephanie and Steve reject Harvest, which results in them living a long-happy life as a married couple inside the program. They then both die of old age. This turns out to be another program set up by the U.S. government, in case the subjects aren’t successfully changed (Stephanie and Steve pass, but reject Harvest’s lessons)

7) Stephanie and Steve leave Harvest and become the “perfect” married couple. Steve goes off to war and becomes a national hero while Stephanie becomes the ultimate propagandist. (Stephanie and Steve pass and accept Harvest’s lessons)

8) Harvest crashes due to the resistance movement storming the base and freeing Steve and Stephanie (secret ending, only unlockable if the player does certain actions)

Harvester x Reader: how they spend Valentine’s Day with you part 1 cause 10 photos per post limit that I didn’t know about until right now as I was putting the pics in

(Nobody knows this game or these characters but I’m inspired so fuck everything this is my life now)

Steve - Being a pretty conventional guy Steve would plan a nice date with you. Pop some popcorn and a movie then take a late night drive around Harvest, anything that involved spending quality time with you.

Stephanie- Stephanie would expect to be spoiled on Valentine’s Day. She’d be asking what you had planned even days before and she’d be absolutely ecstatic when you surprise her with flowers and her favorite flavor of ice cream before taking her for a stroll around Harvest together.

Mom- Mom would cook a wonderful dinner for the both of you and certainly would have something..special and painful..planned for desert.

Duane Dwayne- Duane would share his love for you over a cherry pie at DNA’s. He’d give you kisses all over in his police cruiser during the drive back to his place where you’d continue the fun..

Deputy Loomis- Loomis would be surprisingly sweet planning a proper date for the two of you though it’d be interrupted by him getting worked up halfway through and needing you right there on the kitchen table.

Edna- Edna would be delighted when you surprise her with flowers or chocolate and would promise to make time for a special night with you as soon as she got off work. Though she’d be so tired after her shift and putting Karin to bed that all you’d end up doing together is watching tv while she fell asleep in your arms, but even just that was special enough.

Mr. Johnson- Mr. Johnson doesn’t care much for festivities and would skip straight to fucking you silly all night in many different positions.

Tetsua- Tetsua of course doesn’t really see the point in holidays but she’d appreciate you coming to see her for the day.

Clem- Clem would take you out to his field for a midnight picnic in the bed of his truck though it was partly an excuse for him to watch for aliens. That didn’t matter as seeing how his eyes lit up while excitedly scanning the starry sky warmed your heart.

Buster- Buster would surprise you with his soft side that came out whenever you were on dates. He’d be upfront about being nervous about being intimate as he lacks some required equipment but you’d remind him that his mouth and fingers are just as good.
