Gameplay
In a variation on the usual Harvest Moon focus on farming and animal husbandry, this title revolved around running a shop.[1] Players can choose either a female or male avatar who then creates a series of shops with different designs and utilizes the Wiimote for a series of minigames.[2] The game also incorporates social aspects such as taking snap shots of the shops and posting them on the Wii message board.[1]
Story
The protagonist has taken to running a shop in Clover Town that his grandparents used to run on their farm.[2] The town is rundown, with businesses and people leaving en masse; the player is tasked with the town, and the towns spirits, revival.[3] Characters from previous Harvest Moon games also make an appearance.[1]
