Nemea, Night-time

Once night falls, the town shows a different side, as cherry blossoms dance against the night sky in a dreamlike display.

Story of Nemea

A giant egg has appeared on the Spring Seaslight. Ever since, unfamiliar monsters have been flying into town and attacking the townspeople.When the protagonist visits Nemea, they become involved with the investigation of the Seaslight with Asyl, a member of the Argus Brigade that protects the town.

Resident of Nemea

Istina, Occupation: Teacher at the Orphanage

Istina, who lives together with the children at the orphanage in Nemea, is intellectual, quiet, and rarely displays her emotions openly. She enjoys reading about different places in the world and often reads aloud to the children.This is how she spends her days, beloved by the townspeople–but it’s said that she only arrived in Nemea a few years ago.Upon meeting the protagonist, she will have to confront the past she’s kept hidden…“I wish to stay here and watch over the children. That is the life I have chosen.”

Adventure: Jobs

Jobs have unique weapons and use characteristic skills.By recruiting a character with a certain job, the player-controlled protagonist will also be able to use the same job.

Socialising: Character Stories

Characters can join you in battle as allies and there are other important characters with their own Character Story. These stories focus on the problems that each character faces. As you progress through a Character Story, learning more about each character’s thoughts and feelings, your closeness to them will increase. This grants a range of benefits in combat, and you may even receive rewards.

Special Produce

Harvestella also includes some produce that can be harvested all year round, while some kinds of fruit and vegetables can only be harvested in a particular season! Savour the seasonal work on the farm and the cuisine particular to each season.

Daily Life: Fishing

You’ll be able to go fishing once you buy a fishing rod.Find a Fishing Point and catch some fish!Just like with crops grown on the farm, you can ship fish for money or use them in your cooking.The fish available to catch will depend on location and other conditions. Perhaps you might even catch something other than a fish…? Upgrading your fishing rod will allow you to catch rare fish.

Daily Life: Shipping

Earn lots of money by shipping the fruit and vegetables harvested from your fields. Use machines you’ve crafted to create processed goods, which ship for an even higher price.
