Item Description

Echo Village has seen better days. Once lively, the mountain-ringed settlement has emptied out, and Mayor Dunhill is pinning his hopes on the newcomer who just took over the old farm. Harvest Moon 3D: A New Beginning turns that premise into something the series had never offered before, because this time you decide what the village looks like.

Released in Japan in 2012 as Bokujō Monogatari: Hajimari no Daichi and brought West by Natsume, it broke from the fixed maps of earlier games and let players lay out both their farm and the town itself. You gather building materials from the surrounding countryside and collect blueprints to put up homes for new residents, and each person who moves in unlocks new features. Character creation lets you shape your own farmer's look, and the farm becomes a canvas for fields, fences, barns and decorations placed wherever you want them.

The daily rhythms Harvest Moon fans love are all here: growing seasonal crops, raising animals, fishing, cooking, catching critters and turning up for festivals. Friendships unfold through events as you get to know the villagers, and a dozen marriage candidates, among them Allen, Neil and Amir and bachelorettes such as Michelle, Iroha and the Witch Princess, open the door to marriage and a family of your own. A New Beginning also introduced the seasonal Gardening Tour and vacations to other locations, which you can take alone or with your family.

It marks a turning point in the franchise's history, too. A New Beginning was the last of the Marvelous-developed games released in North America under the Harvest Moon name before the series continued as Story of Seasons with a new publisher, while Natsume kept the Harvest Moon title for games of its own. For players who followed the series from the Super Nintendo onward, it closes out the original lineage under the name they grew up with, and it does so with the most freedom that lineage had ever handed its players.
