Natsume Launches Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home on Android This Month

Get ready to immerse yourself in the world of farming simulation with Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home, set to launch on the Google Play store on August 23rd! This latest installment transports players to the neglected town of Alba, where you'll play a pivotal role in revitalizing a community that's longing for its former glory. It's more than just tending to crops and raising livestock; the entire village's revival hinges on your efforts.

From City Lights To Village Life

Alba village is facing a challenge with an aging population and an exodus of young people chasing the allure of city life. As the new hero on the scene, it's up to you to turn things around. Whether it's by drawing in tourists with your fresh produce or expanding your farm operations, you're tasked with a multifaceted mission.

Your daily routine will include planting, harvesting, caring for animals, fishing, and even mining. But the game isn't just about getting your hands dirty. You'll also be collecting happiness, a unique feature that directly impacts the village's growth and the attraction of new residents. Engage in village events and festivities to further elevate your status and contribute to the community's revival.

Romance is also a key element of the game. You'll have the opportunity to court various bachelors and bachelorettes, each with their own distinct personalities and charms, adding a heartfelt dimension to your village life.

A Return To Classic Farming

Following the unexpected turn of Harvest Moon: Mad Dash in 2019, which veered into puzzle gaming and left many fans wanting more traditional farming gameplay, Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home promises a return to the series' roots. Natsume's CEO, Hiro Maekawa, has emphasized that this game is designed to feel like a homecoming for fans, focusing on classic farming elements without the puzzles.
