there is genuinely nothing I can say here that will capture how great this game is that hasn’t been said already, and frequently too. I guess just keep in mind that when you’re playing this game or reading the reviews, this game was made by one person. All of it. Programming, art, music, all of it. Later updates I believe have a *few* people that help out regularly (fact check me here please), but the original game was entirely a passion project of one person who liked Harvest Moon and had fun ways to spin it, and eventually got the creator of Harvest Moon’s blessing, considering it wholly unique and something that stands on its own in quality without Harvest Moon in the picture at all. Give it a gander. Especially if you’re queer, for some reason. Something about us being queer makes this game more fun in a pretty unique way. I don’t get it either. I think it may have to do with the fact you slowly are becoming more accepted by the people of the community even though you only just moved in, and your identities play no role in how that happens. It just does. You get to become accepted by everyone around you, and you’ll get to find someone you love, and live peacefully, and nobody is going to treat you different for it. What’s there not to love about that? It’s worth escaping in to that when, well, so many queer folks may not be afforded all of those things solely because of their identity. You’ll see this reflection in the online community too. Play it regardless of your rating on the queer-o-meter though! It’s made for everyone, genuinely. Like, it wasn’t made for queer people; it was made, and then queer people envied/sympathized/escaped in it. You can find that for your self, for your own reasons. Everyone has something worth escaping to in this game.
