Get ready for a heartwarming return to classic farming! Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home, a farming simulation game, arrives on the Google Play Store August 23rd. Take on the challenge of revitalizing the neglected town of Alba, where a dwindling population and exodus to the city leave a desperate need for a hero – you!

From City Lights to Village Revival

Alba village is facing a demographic crisis, with its aging residents and young people seeking city life. Your mission? Breathe new life into this once-thriving community. This involves more than just tending crops and livestock; you'll be the catalyst for Alba's resurgence, attracting tourists, expanding your farm, and fostering community growth.

Expect a full plate of responsibilities: planting, harvesting, animal husbandry, fishing, and even mining. But it's not all hard work! The game introduces a "happiness" mechanic, crucial for village expansion and attracting new residents. Participate in village events and festivals to boost your happiness levels and progress.

And of course, no Harvest Moon is complete without romance! Court eligible bachelors and bachelorettes, each possessing unique personalities and charm.

A Back-to-Basics Farming Experience

Let's address the 2019 Harvest Moon: Mad Dash. While enjoyable, its puzzle-focused gameplay deviated from the core farming experience many fans craved. Rest assured, Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home aims to rectify this.

Natsume's CEO, Hiro Maekawa, promises a return to the series' roots. Expect traditional farming gameplay, refined and enhanced with all the features you've come to expect from a Harvest Moon title. Check out the recently released Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home trailer on YouTube for a visual preview.
