Harvester of Dreams : Episode 1
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Harvester of Dreams takes you on board a luxurious airship high above the ground. You’ll find yourself caught between two worlds, a dream and reality. On your journey through the game you will find out, which is which.
HoD is a first-person adventure game (aka walking simulator) taking you into a steampunk inspired scenery. To progress in the game, you will have to find the items required to fix or crack open the locked doors, that you are going to face. Each door reveals a new, unique and interesting room to explore.
Once you have left the ship, the world you find yourself in, becomes even more confusing and disturbing. The unpleasant truth is awaiting you at the very end of your path back into reality.
There will be action sequences towards the end.
What to expect:
- A playing time of about 2 hours.
- Steampunk-inspired graphics.
- Many unique and intriguing rooms and areas to explore.
- Some challenging puzzles.
- English and German (and Irish) voice acting.
- Retro 3D graphics mode.
- Full gamepad support inside the game (except for the launcher).
Started out as a personal project in 2012, HoD 1 is finally finished! All assets have been originally created for this game.
Targeting not only PCs but mobile platforms alike, highly optimized graphics and shaders allowed me to bring the same visual experience to players on most devices.

This was a really nice game! Short but incredibly polished and with a phenomenal artstyle. Thanks for the Linux version, too! It worked really great.
Thank you for your great feedback! I'm happy that you have enjoyed the ride!
Hi! I got this during the "It is spring time" sale. I noticed the page says all copies come with a steam key, but I can't seem to find mine.
The Steam key will only be available with a purchase. Due to Steam policy, it is not allowed to give away free keys.
Thanks a lot.
Thanks for the giveaway from BELONGPLAY community: https://belongplay.ru/harvester-of-dreams/
Thank you for taking the time to review the game.
I will check the controller you have mentioned.
Regarding the achievements: If you have acquired the game outside of steam, the steam integration won't be functional. It is a different version of the game. As a result, the achievements are not available.
Best regards,
Christian
The review is based on game downloaded and played on Steam 2-3 days ago, so the achievements should work for me ("successfully redeemed a retail CD key for this product and added it to your Steam library").
I may offer a suggestion of an easy to implement (really, just dialog) slight improvement for the ending, but posting it in open is too much of a spoiler. As I don't see a way to PM you here, please befriend me on Steam, if interested.

I have fixed the achievement issue. Please update the game (1.601). Thank you for reporting this issue.
Thank you very much!!!
Enjoy!
Спасибо!
