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 task extends beyond simple farming; the entire village's revival rests on your shoulders.

From City Lights to Village Life

Alba village faces a dwindling population, with its youth drawn to the city's allure. You're the hero this aging community needs! Your responsibilities are vast: attracting tourists with your bountiful harvests, expanding your farm, and generally breathing new life into the town.

Expect a full plate: planting, harvesting, caring for 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 further develop Alba.

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

A Return to Classic Farming

Let's address the 2019 Harvest Moon: Mad Dash. While enjoyable, its puzzle-focused gameplay deviated from the core farming experience many fans cherished. Thankfully, Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home aims for a return to the series' roots.

Natsume's CEO, Hiro Maekawa, assures players this new title will feel familiar and comforting. Expect classic farming gameplay, stripped of puzzles, and brimming with the features that define the Harvest Moon experience. For a visual preview, check out the recently released Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home trailer on YouTube.
