As we play, we will farm, rear farm animals, and rebuild various buildings. Our ultimate goal is the restoration of a lighthouse that towers above the island.

An unofficial sequel to the popular farm game series Harvest Moon, created by Japanese studio Marvelous, who also developed several HM titles. Like its predecessor, Story of Seasons allows us to play as an amateur farmer, who moves to a small, shabby town of Oak Tree. The gameplay is not much different from that of Harvest Moon—you buy seeds, plant and water them, gather crops, and take care of your animals. The biggest novelty in the game is the option to trade with other cities, allowing the players to exchange goods by using Wi-Fi. An important element of Story of Seasons are the social aspects, thanks to which you can actively participate in the life of your town by meeting new people, coming to parties, and even falling in love and starting a family.
