Story
Gameplay

Sugardew Island is a Story of Seasons series (previously known as Harvest Moon).

Story

Sugardew Island takes us to a fantasy world, specifically - to the titular island, where the ship carrying the hero crashes on its shores. From now on, our task becomes to restore this place to its former glory. We can achieve that by cooperating with the Forest People living there and healing the Harmony Tree that towers over this piece of land.

Gameplay

In Sugardew Island we watch the action from a bird's eye view. We start the fun by creating a character, whose appearance we can adapt to individual preferences.

Working on the farm

Our pride and joy here is the farm. Running our farm is not only about cultivating the land and harvesting crops, but also about breeding animals. The latter includes both chickens or cows that are a source of fertilizers, eggs or milk, as well as our four-legged companions, whom we can name and allow to follow us around the island.

This is not the end, because the farm is also our own store, where we can sell goods produced on it. The funds collected in this way are used to purchase seeds, animals, and other useful items from a local merchant known as Tomte, as well as to unlock upgrades for the house, barn, and tools used on the farm. It should be ed that we need additional resources for construction, primarily wood and stones.

Stress-free adventures

The game also allows us to freely explore the island. As we traverse its beautiful corners, we interact with the inhabitants, and also pick up quests aimed at healing the Harmony Tree, and with it - the entire island.

The game does not put any pressure on us, so the gameplay is stress-free and devoid of any time constraints.
