HARVESTMOON GRIL

Story Edit 

The game starts with the player (Claire), washed up and unconscious, on the beach of

mineral town. Suddenly, she has a flashback. In this flashback, she is on the side of a cruise

ship staring at the sky and thinking about the her life's direction. She then meets a poet and

ends up spending a lot of time with him as he teaches her a lot about living.

One day, a storm hits the ship, causing a shipwreck. Claire then drifts onto the beach

of Mineral Town, where she is rescued by Zackand one mystery boy. Claire then wakes up

in an abandoned farm and Mayor Thomas introduces himself to her. Because she has

nowhere to go, Mayor Thomas allows Claire to live on the farm. Claire, who now has a bit of

amnesia, remembers the words of the poet and finding a meaning in life. She then decides

to raise the farm and hunts for the mystery boy.

Gameplay Edit 

The gameplay is exactly the same as Harvest Moon: Back to Nature, but it's in a female

perspective. It is your goal to work the land and care for livestock, just as in any other

Harvest Moon game. At first, you are given a hoe, a sickle, a hammer, and an axe in order to

clear up and work the debris-cluttered land. Later on, you can upgrade your tools and obtain

more in order to do more tasks.

Aside from farming, you are also expected to interact with the townsfolk and have a family.Talk to them, give them gifts they like (especially on their birthdays), and learn more about

them with the myriad of events you can come across during the course of the game.

Growing Crops Edit 

Growing crops is the main game play mechanic in the Harvest Moon series, and you can

grow different type of crops.

Each season offers a different variety of crops/flowers you can grow. In order to get grow

crops/flowers, you can purchase crops' seeds at Jeff'sSupermarket, or flower's seedsat Won's Market. To plant crops/flowers, till the land with hoe, plant your crops, and water

8/22/2019 Harvestmoon Gril

them with the watering can. Some crops/flowers take longer to grow than others, they all

fetch a different price and some are renewable.

For each season, there is also a secret crop that can be unlocked after shipping a hundred

of each of that season's crops. After building a hothouse, you can grow any plant you want

at any time of the year.

Aside from growing crops and flowers, grass (all year except winter) can be grown to use as

fodder (when cut with sickle) or as a pasture for cows and sheeps.

Aside from p 

lanting crops, raising livestock is another important factor in the game. Back to Nature is thethe debut of raising fish and bees. 

  Chick 

The infant form of a chicken, they aren't buyable. However, they could be raised by hatching

a chicken egg (placing the egg in the incubator). A chick doesn't need to be fed.

  Chicken Chicken can be bought from Poetry Farm. It is sold at the price of 1500g. A chicken produce

an egg every day, it is the only animal that could produce an infant without paying extra

money (egg on incubator). Chicken gain heart affection the fastest compare to other

animals. Chicken can take part in the Chicken Sumo Festivals.

  Calf 

Calf is the infant form of Cow, they can't be bought. However, they are acquired by

impregnating an adult cow. Like chick and lamb, they can't produce any product; however,

they are required to be fed in order to survive.

  Cow 

Cows are bought in Yodel Ranch at the price of 6000g. At first in the adulthood stage, they

can't produce any milk, but when they grow into the adult stage, they are the only animal to

produce the best profit. Cow can attend the Cow Festival.

  Lamb 

Lambs are the infant form of Sheep. They can only be acquired by impregnating an adult

sheep. Like cows, they need to be fed and despite having wool, it can't be sheered.

  Sheep 

Sheep can be bought at Yodel Ranch at the price of 4000g. Despite having wool, it can't be

sheered until it reaches its adult stage. Sheep produce wool every 7 days, in a long term,

they produce higher profit. Sheep can attend the sheep festivals.

  Fish 

Fish debuted in this game, unlike many livestock, fish can't be seen. The Watering pond in

your farm is the spot to raise fish. To raise a fish, simply catch a fish and throw it in the pond.

Fish eats fish food (bought in Supermarket) and the fish population duplicates overtime.  Bee

Bees debuted in this game, however, like fish, they can't be seen. Bees could only acquired

by planting flowers in summer. When the flowers sprout, it will arrive and makes a nest on

the apple tree the next day. Bees produces honey every day.

Pets Edit Pets play a bigger role in this game compare to the past Harvest Moon game. The player

starts off with a puppy, which could then grow into a dog. A dog helps defend livestock

against stray dogs and herd animals to go back into the barn (if bell is rung). An event in the

game allows the player dog to mate with Hana (Barley’s dog) and produce 2 puppies, where

you would then search for an owner for one for the new born pup (Stu or Gotz).

The next pet is a horse; it starts off as a pony, which cannot be ridden. Like dog, horse

doesn’t need to be fed. However, it is required to br ush it every day or Barley would take it

away at the end of the year. A pony can be acquired by planting 24 squares of grass or

visiting Yodel Ranch on day 2. A horse can be ridden around the farm; it carries a saddle

(which acts like a bin). Horses can enter the Horse Festival.

Fishing Edit 

Fishing can be done with a rod; a rod can be acquired by fisherman Greg. To fish, the player

hold down the 'Square' button, when an exclamation mark appears, release the button to fish

the fish up.

This game introduces "Fish King", allowing players to collect. Sea kings are difficult to catch

and special requirements are needed, ranging from offering a fish as a tribute to fishing in a

particular area.

Characters Edit 

Harvest Moon: Back To Nature features over forty characters with whom the player can

interact. Out of them, five young men are eligible marriage partners, while five young ladies

will be your rivals for their affection.

Also included is the Harvest Goddess, to whom you can make offerings from your farm, and

the seven Harvest Sprites, who can help you perform farm tasks if you befriend them.

In order to woo a boy, you must give him gifts that he likes. His heart level, represented b

Claire and the available bachelorsy the heartunderneath the portrait you see of her while she's speaking, ranges from black to red. 

As you get to know the boys more, you will get to see several events in which you have to

answer questions he might ask you. Answer them correctly, and he'll come to like you even

more.

  Cliff - A young vagrant who's recently found himself in Mineral Town. He usually stays

in one place for a while until he runs out of money, and then heads to the next place.

However, you can get him a job at the Winery, thus getting him to stay in town. His

love interest is Ann. 

  Doctor - The serious young man running the Clinic. He's very much absorbed with his

work, though he tries to do his best for everyone in town. However, he often feels that

not many people like him. Pastor Carter is one of his only friends. Even though Elli has

taken an interest in him, it takes him quite a while to notice this.

  Rick - Interestingly enough, Rick is the only one of your rivals who is native to Mineral

Town. Along with his mother, he runs Chicken Lil's, the poultry ranch. He is an

extremely high strung, but hard-working young man who is faced with the responsiblity

of being the man of the house in his father's absence. Often, he has conflicts with his

younger sister, Popuri, though he tries his best to be a good older brother to her. He

feels she should not be dating Kai. His love interest is Karen.

  Gray - As a former city dweller, Gray initially does not take to the idea of living in the

"boondocks". After meeting Mary, he looks at things a bit more optimistically, though

he still struggles with his grandfather, the blacksmith Saibara. He is his grandfather's

apprentice, though he complains that his grandfather never praises him for anythinghe does.

  Kai - He knows how to charm the ladies, yet he always seems to rub men the wrong

way. Every summer, he visits Mineral Town and runs a snack stand (The Seaside

Lounge). The rest of the year, he goes down south since he's not a fan of cold

weather. He often faces off against Rick, who in turn can't stand him. After a while, he

will take up an interest in Rick's younger sister, Popuri.

Rivals Edit 

Wooing a boy is not exactly easy. Every boy has another girl who's interested in them aswell. If you don't marry any one of the boys, one of these girls will marry him instead.
