Plot
As a remake of Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town, the game retains the original storyline.
At the beginning of the game, the protagonist is revealed to have visited their grandfather’s farm as a child.
During a summer vacation in Mineral Town, the protagonist played alone until meeting another child in the forest, who soon became a close friend. Before parting ways, they promised to meet again someday.
Time passed quickly. Years later, the protagonist had grown into an adult and received a letter from Thomas. In the letter, Thomas invited the protagonist to return to Mineral Town after their grandfather had passed away and left the farm to them.
Upon arriving, the protagonist discovered that the farm had been abandoned and had fallen into disrepair.
From that moment on, the journey begins with the goal of restoring the inherited farm and returning it to its former glory.
