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 sleepy town and bring it back to its former glory.

From City Lights to Village Charm

Alba's facing a crisis: an aging population and an exodus of young people to the city. That's where you come in! You'll need to use your farming skills to attract tourists, expand your farm, and generally breathe new life into the community.

Your tasks are varied and engaging: planting and harvesting crops, caring for animals, fishing, and even mining. But it's not all hard work! The game features a "happiness" system that directly impacts the village's growth and attracts 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! Court a selection of charming bachelors and bachelorettes, each with their own unique personalities.

A Welcome Return to Traditional Farming

Let's address the 2019 Harvest Moon: Mad Dash. While enjoyable, its puzzle-focused gameplay deviated from the series' core farming mechanics. Thankfully, Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home aims to rectify this.

Natsume's CEO, Hiro Maekawa, promises a return to the classic farming experience fans have come to love. Expect pure, unadulterated farming fun, with all the familiar features and a polished presentation. Check out the recently released Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home trailer on YouTube for a visual preview.
