But doing "missions" while exploring the area and owning a shop is just enough fun to be considered a good game.… Expand

   its not as good as the harvest moon games, but it's still fun and addicting. The only problems i have with it is that you'll find yourselfits not as good as the harvest moon games, but it's still fun and addicting. The only problems i have with it is that you'll find yourself running out of things to do and get bored of it, and like everyone else says, the camera really sucks.
   other than that i feel as if it's a very solid game! with a great map and fun characters.… Expand

   A very empty game. There is an option to leave your store, but you can't have it be closed while you're out, so customers will show up anywayA very empty game. There is an option to leave your store, but you can't have it be closed while you're out, so customers will show up anyway and be dissatisfied. There is no dating option like HM (Although the Blue Feather is still here) only friendships, and the characters aren't actually that interesting. To get certain events requires specific conditions that you're going to need a wiki pulled up to know. Other than stocking your store with a small variety of inventory there's not much to do and you will get bored fast… Expand

   It's just boring, interaction is minimal, who befriends people by selling them things?! There is no point in talking to them.

The only good thing is the art, that is the thing that made me buy it but is just plain bad.… Expand

   Serious lack of control makes this game terribly disappointing. There is no explanation for the icons in your log-book; good luck guessing.Serious lack of control makes this game terribly disappointing. There is no explanation for the icons in your log-book; good luck guessing. There is no camera control; you'll just have to learn which way the camera is going to flip when you walk into a certain spot. Your log book tracks how many of each item you sell, but, since you only sell what you buy, it isn't pertinent to what is actually popular. Your inventory will quickly become cluttered with unsellable material that you have no idea what to do with. Some of these things named towns-people will buy (if you happen to have them on display when they happen to stop by). Some of them trigger story events when you display them (if the proper character happens to be activated for that story event when you display the item). The only thing you can do is spend all your game time cycling through the clutter hoping something will trigger something. 99% of your customers wont buy any of these clutter items, they actually get angry and leave because of your lack of variety of real sell-able items. Some of your towns-people will request things, making it easier to figure out what to do with certain items. Unfortunately there is no quest tracking what-so-ever, so get ready to spend lots of time with a pen and paper writing it all down yourself. The soundtrack it terrible. There is one track for each area and it never changes. The shop music is particularly irritating, and you will spend most of your time listening to it. You can turn the music off, but only if you are OK playing the game with no sound at all. You cannot view your inventory outside of your shop, so when you are out buying things to sell, you will need to remember what you already have to avoid buying to many of the same type of item. The entire game could have been saved with simple quest tracking, and a menu system. Also the use of actual words rather than arbitrary icons would be a plus. As an example, I've figured out two of the icons (i think) the little ghost with a tail means girl, and the little ghost without a tail means boy. All together this is just an overpriced flash game poorly ported to 3DS. However, if you would liked the game Mist, or some other mystery game with no guidance and lots of guess and check mechanics, you might enjoy slogging through this disappointment.… Expand
