Home is where the heart is! After ten years of city life, you're ready to head back home in Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home!

Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home Special Edition invites you to leave behind the hustle and bustle of city life and return to your childhood village of Alba—a peaceful countryside town where the fish are fresh, the vegetables are homegrown, and the locals are as warm as ever.

Once thriving, Alba Village has seen better days. Its aging population and the departure of younger residents to the big city have left it in decline. But with your help, this quiet village could be transformed into a vibrant, flourishing community once again. Surrounded by stunning natural beauty, Alba has everything it needs to become a destination for tourists and even attract new villagers—if you're up to the challenge!

In Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home Special Edition, you're not alone in your quest to revitalize Alba. Doc Jr. has set up his lab right in the village and is hard at work developing new inventions to help you out. Travel faster with his latest creation, the Hoverbike 5000—a sleek hover scooter perfect for navigating Alba's expansive landscape. Tired of cleaning your barn? Let the Cleanmeister Autovac take care of it for you! Doc Jr.'s new tech is exclusive to the Special Edition and designed to make your rural life smoother and more efficient.

Build relationships with a cast of charming bachelors and bachelorettes, including returning favorites and new faces alike. Reconnect with your childhood friend or woo one of the newcomers from Harvest Moon: The Winds of Anthos—Ella, an artist in search of inspiration, and Dr. Nikolai, who's researching the healing properties of the Harvest Goddess Spring. Whether you're looking for love or lifelong friendships, the choice is yours.

Tend to crops, care for animals, fish, mine, and gather resources to collect Happiness, the key to growing Alba Village. Participate in lively festivals, compete in local contests, and help bring life back to the heart of the countryside.

Your home is calling—are you ready to return?


"Players have been eager for Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home to come to consoles and PC so we are happy to announce Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home Special Edition," said Hiro Maekawa, President and CEO of Natsume, Inc. "This edition features more inventions from the lovable and zany inventor Doc Jr., who is now a permanent resident of Alba Village, and some familiar characters that players met in Harvest Moon: The Winds of Anthos. And with new cutscenes, Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home Special Edition will be a new experience for everyone!"

  • Spend less time cleaning your barn by using the Cleanmeister Autovac!
  • Enjoy additional cut scenes that immerse you in Alba and show new interactions with the village's residents!
