Hometown Story takes place in the Harvest Moon universe and is also created by Yasuhiro Wada. Instead of being farming based or exploring dungeons like other Harvest Moon or Rune Factory entries, your goal is to establish yourself and get to know the people of a growing town. This game begins with you moving in the neighborhood to take over your grandmother's store since her passing.

Expanding your shop and the town it serves is undeniably satisfying, but sadly, it's nowhere near fun enough to hold your interest for the long term. Considering that numerous Harvest Moon games and spinoffs are available on the system and virtual console, not to mention Animal Crossing: New Leaf, turning up with Wada's name on the credits just isn't enough."
