Restoring the Lighthouse

Welcome to the walkthrough portion of the book. This chapter serves as a comprehensive guide to locating the Stone Tablets, resurrecting the lighthouse, and repopulating the entirety of Beacon Town. Here, you'll also find an introduction to each facet of the game, complete with tips regarding controls and techniques intended to complement the in-game tutorial.

Soups and Dips

These dishes require a large number of vegetables and fruits, so stockpile the crops you harvest in order to make them. Several of the recipes aren't accessible for quite some time, but you'll be sure to please some villagers with them as gifts.

Meet Your Neighbors

You may have been washed ashore on an empty island, but thanks to your efforts, the lighthouse has been restored and Beacon Town is thriving once again. As the newest-and soon to be most-popular-resident, you have a chance to complete dozens of requests, forge new friendships, and interact with your fellow villagers in a host of fun ways.

Harvest Moon: Hero of Leaf Valley

Three years after its first appearance on Sony's handheld system, the franchise returned with Harvest Moon: Hero of Leaf Valley. Though the story, setting and characters were reminiscent of Harvest Moon: Save the Homeland, the game featured a questing system that gave the player tremendous flexibility in how they went about saving Leaf Valley from being turned into an amusement park.

Interviews

Twenty years ago, during the golden age of sports, fighting and war games, I wanted to make a relaxing game that everyone from kids to adults could enjoy. At the time, my work and personal relationships were causing me stress so I wanted to go fishing by the sea, till some fields, and raise some chickens in the relaxing calm of nature - Seiichi Kizu.

Innocent Life: A Futuristic Harvest Moon

Another spin-off for the series, and predating the Rune Factory debut, was Innocent Life: A Futuristic Harvest Moon. Set fifteen years into the future at the time of release, the player controlled an android named Life in attempt to save Heartflame Island from an angry Fire Spirit threatening to cause a volcanic eruption.
