Natsume Unveils Harvest Moon Mobile Release for Android

Get ready for a heartwarming farming adventure! Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home arrives on the Google Play Store August 23rd, bringing you to the charming but neglected town of Alba. Your mission? Revitalize this aging village and bring it back to its former glory.

From City Lights to Village Revival

Alba's facing a familiar challenge: an aging population and a youth exodus to the city. That's where you come in! You'll need to wear many hats, attracting tourists with your bountiful harvests, expanding your farm, and generally becoming the village's savior.

Your tasks are diverse: planting and harvesting crops, caring for animals, fishing, and even mining. But it's not all hard work! The game introduces a "happiness" mechanic, crucial for village growth and attracting new residents. Participate in village events and festivals to boost your happiness levels and unlock further progress.

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

A Classic Farming Experience Returns

Let's address the 2019 Harvest Moon: Mad Dash. It ventured into puzzle gameplay, a departure from the series' core farming focus. However, Natsume assures fans that Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home returns to its roots.

CEO Hiro Maekawa promises a back-to-basics experience. Expect classic farming gameplay with all the familiar elements you love, enhanced with modern refinements. Check out the recently released Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home trailer on YouTube for a visual preview.
