Bittersweet Harvest

A kinetic visual novel originally made for Ludum Dare 52 and the 2023 Global Game Jam.

Story

Harvesters.
These otherworldly beings, having the bodies of humans, are tasked with reaping bad memories of these humans and purging them from their hearts and minds.
And in an era where mental health awareness is at an all-time high, these harvesters work hard to ensure the stability of the souls of mortals.
One such harvester will meet a young single mother, and he must dive deep into the mystery of why she became one before he could do his job of purging her bad memories.
But his task could be more complicated than what he initially imagined.
