Other Information: For some reason, this game was never released outside of Japan. It is quite similar to Harvest Moon: Back to Nature, only this time, you play as a girl and get to marry a guy! If you buy Harvest Moon Boy and Girl for the PSP, you will be able to play the English port of this game.

Introduction:
Travelling by yourself on a ship, you met up with a strange man. This man spoke on and on to you about how great life is. He touched you with his sayings, but soon after, a storm blew up and left you shipwrecked. The next thing you knew, you were lying in a bed. It appears as though someone came and helped you to Zack’s house, though you don’t know who is was. After explaining to Zack and the mayor that you have no place to go, it’s decided that you will live at an old farm in Mineral Town. But the question remains: who was that who helped you on the beach?

Though the storyline is very different, the gameplay is the same as it was in Back to Nature. However, the role that you play in certain festivals (Goddess Festival, Winter Thanksgiving Festival, Moon Viewing Festival, etc.) has changed, giving a you fresh perspective on life in Mineral Town. The daily speech of most people has changed, and the decoration inside your house has more of a feminine touch to it.
