Item Description

Two villages, one mountain and a long-running argument about cooking: that is the setup of Harvest Moon: The Tale of Two Towns, and it gives this farming sim a personality all its own. Bluebell and Konohana were once friendly neighbors joined by a tunnel through the mountain, until a squabble over whose cuisine was best grew so heated that the Harvest Goddess collapsed the tunnel and cut them off from each other. You arrive as a new farmer who, thanks to a travel mishap, has forgotten which town you were headed to, so you hear out each mayor and decide for yourself where to put down roots.

That choice colors your whole life on the farm. Bluebell leans toward livestock, with a ranch-country feel built around raising animals, while Konohana is a traditional Japanese-style village centered on growing crops. Either way, the classic Harvest Moon rhythm takes hold quickly: plant and water in the morning, care for your animals and slowly turn a rough plot into a thriving homestead as the seasons roll by. Friendships with the villagers can blossom into romance, marriage and a family, which keeps that one-more-day pull going long after the first harvest comes in.

The rivalry is what makes it memorable. The two towns still meet at cooking festivals four times every season, and those contests are where the old feud plays out in public, giving the gentle daily routine a competitive edge and a reason to keep improving your recipes. The mountain between Bluebell and Konohana becomes a trail you will walk again and again, because the neighbors, shops and potential sweethearts worth knowing are spread across both sides, and helping the two towns make peace is the heart of the story.

The Tale of Two Towns comes from Marvelous, the Japanese company behind the long-running Bokujō Monogatari series, and it belongs to the final stretch of that series' run under the Harvest Moon name in the West before it was rebranded as Story of Seasons. Its two-town structure was a bold experiment, splitting the classic formula in half and letting you choose which half to live in, and the game began life on the DS before this 3DS version followed. If a cozy handheld routine you can sink an entire in-game year into sounds like your kind of evening, the feuding-villages premise makes this an unusually characterful stop in the series' history.

About the game

Long ago the towns of Bluebell and Konohana were friendly neighbors, joined together by a tunnel underneath the mountain that separates the towns. Eventually the towns started to disagree with each other on whose town had the best cooking cuisine. As the villagers became more obnoxious with each other, the Harvest Goddess became more annoyed with them. One day she finally put her foot down and collapsed the tunnel between the towns, cutting them off from each other. Now the only interaction the towns have with each other is at their cooking festival, where their cooking conflict continues four times per season. As a new farmer, you are eager to start your new life at one of the towns but a freak travel accident makes you to forget what town you originally were going to live in! Listen to each mayor's story, hear about each town, and then decide where you want to start your new farm life.
