Harvest Moon 3D: The Tale of Two Towns
© 2011 Natsume
Harvest Moon fans... you now have a 3D version. In this title, Konohana and Bluebell were once friendly neighbors, but a fight over food has turned them into bitter enemies. You are a new farmer to the area; Can you bring the two farms together again with your clever farming? After you choose which village to live in, (Eastern-styled Konohana with abundant crops, or animal loving, European-styled Bluebell), you decide to play as either a boy or girl. Then, you pick a home. Next, you plant and grow crops, raise livestock, woo a spouse and start a family. If you develop your skills enough, you might even find a way to bring the two towns together again. (This game can take a long time to complete.)
