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

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 charming but neglected village of Alba. Your mission? Revitalize this aging community and bring it back to its former glory.

From City Lights to Village Charm

Alba village faces a familiar challenge: an aging population and an exodus of young people to the city. That's where you come in! Your tasks are multifaceted: cultivate thriving crops, raise animals, attract tourists, and expand your farm. It’s a hands-on experience encompassing planting, harvesting, animal care, fishing, and even mining.

Beyond the farm, you'll also nurture the village's happiness, a key element in attracting new residents and fostering community growth. Participate in village events and festivals to boost your progress and strengthen your ties with the townsfolk. And of course, no Harvest Moon game is complete without romance! Court eligible bachelors and bachelorettes, each possessing unique personalities and endearing qualities.

A Welcome Return to Farming Roots

Let's address the 2019 Harvest Moon: Mad Dash. While enjoyable, its puzzle-focused gameplay deviated from the series' core farming mechanics. However, Natsume assures fans that Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home is a return to the classic farming experience they cherish. CEO Hiro Maekawa promises a nostalgic feel, focusing on traditional farming gameplay with all the expected features. Check out the recently released Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home trailer on YouTube for a glimpse of the visuals.
