Nightmare Harvest

Hub-based design. Inspired by classic cRPGs, Nightmare Harvest is open for you to explore at your own pace.

No golden-breadcrumb trail. Nightmare Harvest isn't about getting to the next waypoint so you can click the next conversation so you can get to the next fight. You'll have to think about things, read descriptions and figure stuff out on your own.

Not just one way to do things. Nightmare Harvest wants you to role-play. There are different ways to solve every problem depending on your class, stats and personal style.

Dialogue is gameplay. Characters don't talk to you to dump exposition in your lap. The choices you make in your interactions with others affect the game.

Content-complete. Nightmare Harvest is finished. You don't have to wait six months for chapter 2. You can play the whole thing now.

Different outcomes. Everyone in the Shambles has their own agenda, so why shouldn't you? The story adapts to your choices and mistakes.

Repeatable runs. Stuck? Want to grind up some Karma? Go to an area you've already conquered and see if there's something new.

Inspired by pulp classics. Do you like books? So does Nightmare Harvest. The story is influenced by everything from Hammett to Chandler to Chabon.

SOME OTHER THINGS

Made for new characters. But the story is about an experienced Shadowrunner, so it wouldn't be weird if you imported one. Maybe just a bit too easy.

Made for adults. 'Thar be swearing, violence and jokes about butts and stuff. If you aren't a grownup, get permission from one before you play.

Bugs? Remember when I said Nightmare Harvest is finished? That's true, but it's big enough and complex enough (and I'm just one dude enough) that I probably-maybe-definitely left a few glitches in there. If you find a bug, post it here, or send me a PM on twitter (@KyleFrancis).

Do you just have general feedback for me? Maybe some scathing invective? Ditto the above.
