I'm playing through some weeb JRPGs now. They're not that funny so I'm making them funnier myself:

Definitely would recommend using a walkthru for certain areas as you can end up stuck or whatever with exception to the last disk. Do not even look at it past disk 2 (the last hard puzzle involves a steam room. It took a friend coming over and seeing an object for me to click on before I could continue).

The theme in this game is so hard to grasp. Like it points it feels like Leather Goddesses of Phobos 2 (I can't even remember if I finished that. Don't think so), then it feels like a Twin Peaks movie, then some awfully scripted Troma movie, then all of a sudden BOOM!! MORTAL KOMBAT LEVEL VIOLENCE. This shit is all over the place which is why I really enjoyed it.

I still don't quite understand why a text parser is included when you can click verbs and never have to type a custom line of text..
I was just thinking how, if you haven't played it, you should definitely check out the game Sanitarium. It's not as depraved as Harvester, but it really goes into some interesting places. I don't think I got around to playing it until like the late 00s and, based on its release date (1998), I remember thinking that its storytelling was very much ahead of its time.
