Natsume Brings Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home To Android This Month

Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home, a charming farming simulation game, arrives on the Google Play Store August 23rd! Prepare to revitalize the neglected town of Alba, a place yearning for a new lease on life. Your journey extends beyond simple farming; the entire village's revival rests on your capable hands.

From City Lights to Village Life

Alba village faces a crisis: an aging population and an exodus of young people seeking city opportunities. That's where you come in – the village's unlikely hero. Your tasks are diverse and demanding: attracting tourists with your bountiful harvests, expanding your farm, and much more.

Expect a full plate of activities: planting, harvesting, tending to animals, fishing, and even mining. But it's not all hard work! The game introduces 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.

And of course, no Harvest Moon game is complete without romance! Court a variety of charming bachelors and bachelorettes, each with unique personalities.

A Return to Classic Farming

Let's address the 2019 Harvest Moon: Mad Dash. While fun, its puzzle-focused gameplay deviated from the series' core farming experience, leaving some fans wanting more. Rest assured, Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home aims to rectify this.

Natsume's CEO, Hiro Maekawa, promises a return to the series' roots. Expect classic farming gameplay, refined and enhanced with modern features. For a visual preview, check out the recently released Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home trailer on YouTube.
