About this game
STORY OF SEASONS: Pioneers of Olive Town puts clearing land at the heart of building a farm. Remove trees, stones and weeds to make room for crops and facilities, then repair obstacles to reach further areas. You decide where facilities and decorations go as the working space grows. Cultivation follows tilling, planting, watering and harvesting. Animal products can be sold directly, cooked or processed into more valuable goods, while money and materials fund tools that work more ground at once. Beyond the farm, special requests improve Olive Town's infrastructure, and conversations and gifts build friendships with its residents. Changing crops, wildlife and scenery mark the passing seasons alongside these farming and social routines.
Collected in series
Story of Seasons is the farming-life series known in Japan as Bokujo Monogatari, with earlier Western games released as Harvest Moon.
