Get ready for a heartwarming return to classic farming! Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home arrives on the Google Play Store August 23rd, bringing you to the quaint, yet neglected, village of Alba. Your mission? Revitalize this charming town, one crop and happy villager at a time.
From City Lights to Village Charm
Alba's population is dwindling, with young people seeking city life and leaving behind an aging community. That's where you come in! You'll need to attract tourists with your bountiful harvests, expand your farm, and generally become the village savior.
A Full Plate of Responsibilities
Prepare for a busy life! Your tasks include planting, harvesting, tending to animals, fishing, and even mining. But it's not all hard work. The game features a "happiness" mechanic, crucial for village growth and attracting new residents. Participate in village events and festivals to boost your happiness levels and unlock further progress.
Romance Blooms in the Village
And of course, no Harvest Moon game is complete without romance! Court eligible bachelors and bachelorettes, each with unique personalities and endearing quirks.
Back to Basics Farming
Let's address the 2019 Harvest Moon: Mad Dash. It deviated from the series' core farming gameplay, opting for a puzzle-based approach. While enjoyable, it didn't fully satisfy longtime fans' craving for traditional farming. Rest assured, Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home is a return to the roots of the franchise.
Natsume's CEO, Hiro Maekawa, promises a nostalgic experience, focusing on classic farming mechanics and all the beloved features fans expect. Check out the recently released Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home trailer on YouTube for a glimpse of the charming visuals.
