Natsume has officially released the highly anticipated addition to the Harvest Moon series, Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home as of today. This new mobile game invites players to return to their childhood village of Alba, a once-thriving community now in decline as younger residents leave for the city.
As the largest Harvest Moon game ever developed for mobile, Home Sweet Home also offers a rich social experience where players can court and marry one of four bachelors or bachelorettes. The game is available now on Android and iOS devices for RM 80.99 and RM 79.90 respectively.
In the game, players return to their childhood village of Alba, a once-thriving rural community now facing decline due to an aging population and the migration of younger residents to the city. The game centers on your efforts to rejuvenate Alba by engaging in classic Harvest Moon activities like farming, fishing, and mining. You’ll also interact with the villagers, completing various requests and giving gifts to build relationships and increase the town’s overall happiness.
The story unfolds as you gather “Happiness,” a key resource that helps the village grow and attract new residents. The gameplay encourages you to participate in festivals and contests, which are integral to revitalizing the community. Social elements are also emphasized, with options to woo one of four bachelors or bachelorettes, marry, and start a family.
The relaxed pacing of the mobile platform allows players to enjoy the game at their own speed, making it a perfect fit for both newcomers and long-time fans of the series.
