Plot
This section possibly contains original research. (April 2018) |
The player's uncle is unable to take care of his farm anymore, so he hands over the responsibility of caring for the farm to the player. The game starts with a scarecrow giving the player a farming tutorial. By selling crops/products, the player earns coins which can be used to buy production buildings, pets and decoration items. By doing so, they also earn experience points (XP), with which they level up. As they reach Level 27, the player is introduced to Angus, a friend of the player's uncle who gives a fishing tutorial. Earlier on, the player is also introduced to Greg, who comes to your farm requesting items, or puts items in his "roadside shop" which players can buy. Greg is a NPC.
Players form into small "neighborhoods", in which the members can assist each other when in need (for example, by requesting multiple items) and can also chat with one another. Players can also trade their goods with the other friends or neighbors from the neighbourhood.
Players who reach Level 11 can access to Farm Pass and Those who reached Level 18 can access to Neighbourhood Derbys
