Plant crops, raise cows, chickens, and sheep, foster relationships with locals, and even woo a future spouse! Marry, have a child, and unlock the full potential of all seven Harvest Sprites, along with the Harvest Goddess and Harvest God – all inside a world where the land is customized by the player themselves!
