About the Game

At the edge of explored space, your camera will decide the fate of a world.

Cellular Harvest is a shortform first-person photography exploration game. You are an Auditor. An AI embedded in your suit evaluates the value of every being you encounter for the corporate interests that direct humanity's journey into a wider universe.

Track alien creatures. Catalog their existence with your camera. Follow orders. And enjoy an alien planet - while it's still intact.

This package contains both Cellular Harvest GREEN and Cellular Harvest PURPLE as a single game. You can select your edition from the main menu.
