{{work|wppage=Story of Seasons}}

'''''Story of Seasons''''', formerly called '''''Harvest Moon''''', is a series of [[Simulation Game|Simulation Games]] based on farming developed by Marvelous Entertainment and translated by Natsume in North America and Rising Star Games in Europe. The original game was released for the [[Super Nintendo]] in 1995, and since then there have been over twenty ''Harvest Moon'' titles released for a variety of different consoles. ([[The Other Wiki]] has [[w:List of Story of Seasons video games|a list]].) The plot line, such as it is, is much the same for almost every game: the protagonist, a young man ([[Distaff Counterpart|or woman]]) just starting life on his or her own, inherits or buys a farm. Sadly, its previous owner was unable to keep up with chores on the farm, leaving it in a significantly dilapidated state... and now it's up to you to fix it!

Gameplay is generally fairly simple. The player must clear his/herthe fields, plant crops, raise livestock like cows, sheep, and chickens, care for pets like horses and dogs, and gather materials from the countryside to help improve his/her house or sell for extra cash. However, the "business" aspects of play are not nearly the full scope of the game; the social aspect of the series is one of its biggest draws.
