Story of Seasons, known in Japan as Bokujō Monogatari: Tsunagaru Shin Tenchi (牧場物語 つながる新天地, lit. Farm Story: Linking the New World), is a farming simulation video game developed by Marvelous Entertainment for the Nintendo 3DS. It was released in Japan on February 27, 2014, and in North America on March 31, 2015. This was the first game not under the Harvest Moon franchise title in North America due to Natsume Inc.'s ownership of the name.[2]
The game follows along the same lines as the rest of the series, in which the player takes on the role of a farmer. The player can choose to play as a male or female farmer and between two difficulties at the beginning of the game. The difficulty cannot be changed once chosen by them. There are a variety of things to do in the game such as producing crops and raising livestock. The game also introduces new characters, including a tiny goddess and a tiny witch.[3]
