Player Questions

What should I know before playing Harvest Moon - Back to Nature?

There's no singular winning condition, but the main challenge is to impress the Harvest King by successfully developing your farmstead and forging a solid legacy — for many, the greatest sign of success is growing old alongside your family.

What happens if your chickens and cows die?

Animals cannot truly die; animals only die and leave your farm if you fail to show them even the slightest form of care for many days. Instead, they get ill and won't produce anything; if ignored for a long time, they run away from the farm.

How do tools upgrade and what do they do?

Tools like axes, watering cans, and hoes only upgrade after being continuously used; when used enough, a goddess will come along in the night to update their effectiveness, making daily work more effective allowing you to cover more area with a single use.
