Night Harvest by EvilScotsman
A short spooky game about driving a combine harvester at night.
Horribley unfinished, but I might add more to it post-jam.
Some lighting bugs in the web version, recommend downloading the PC version if possible.

I think this game can fit some more spooky sounds, but that's just me. :D
Really liked how you built the atmosphere in the game, I enjoyed it a lot! My main complaint would be that the lighting was a bit too dark - it was very hard to find the stairs up the harvester every time I had to ride it again (I was playing the PC binary version, not the web version). Maybe put a little more lights specifically on that path to make it easier to navigate?
Anyway, really cool work!
I am not fond of the genre but this one is a positive example. Scary but in a delicate way. Was fun, thanks.
The sounds were good but not having a fade between the engine sound restarting was super jarring.
Having it pitch black unless in the light gives it a sense of the unknown but maybe having a small tint of moonlight on the field and catching a glimpse of things moving would be another option to add to the paranoia.
Overall I enjoyed it and it was a refreshing change from most of the other games.
