Wrath of the Harvestmen is a post apocalyptic survival horror game, inspired by the STALKER games, and the Frost/Dust mods for Fallout 4/NV

After playing for the while plus sign showed up above health bar and I didnt know how to fix it (didnt event know what is means). Otherwise game seems pretty good.

Cool pixel art, your are a realy nice direction.
But I didn't understand the whole gameplay (control) and the final objective.

Seems good. Nice work!

Such a fun game with simplistic pixel art! Played a few times and i noticed that every time you die, the instance doesn't really reset until you close the game. The health icon doesn't really go away even if you use all the different kinds of medical items and it doesn't seem to heal you as well. Also one big thing, I found a invincibility bug, where if you were about to die and you go indoors or use an item, nothing can kill you but you couldn't sneak/dash. Overall I had a good laugh and fun playing it!! Good job!!

There's a lot here for a game jam! I like the art, although I didn't really know what to do. Definitely had a lonely vibe.

It took me a couple tries going between the manual and the ui before I figured everything out, but the gameplay was pretty good! However it didn't seem like the antibiotic did anything? I got the plus icon and took 6 antibiotics I found, and it just turned red and killed me

Got suddenly harvested after clearing the military bunker - was very eerie. Liked the art style, but gameplay was a bit slow.

Also health bar seems bugged

Great looking game! Reminded me of stuff like Cataclysm: DDA and Project Zomboid.

I'd recommend adding some of the info contained in the manual to the LD page too, people are lazy :). I'd also add a few screenshots to the page. The game is really cool and has a ton of mechanics, you should market it a bit better! :D
Similar to another player I died to the thing that antibiotics were supposed to heal but didn't, managed to slay many dogs and explore quite a bit before that. Enjoyed my time playing, great job making the game!
