Game Description
In Rune Factory: A Fantasy Harvest Moon, the familiar farming sim gameplay is blended with traditional RPG elements like questing, battling, and party building. The story begins with you waking up in an unfamiliar village, where a new life awaits you. With the help of a young woman named Mist, you must tend to your land, grow a variety of crops, and raise different animals.

It's a whole new world where growing vegetables, becoming friends with beasts, and falling in love are all part of the game.
