«©NCSX» After being shipwrecked and stranded on an island, the hero of the latest Bokujou Monogatari teams up with a small family of survivors to make a new home. By developing the land and creating a vibrant island economy supported by agriculture, trade, and livestock, the newfound home away from home might become a teeming commercial jewel. At the outset of the game, players may select a male character named Mark or a female character named Chelsea. With the promise of a better life, immigrants will visit your pristine shores and possibly settle down. The game mandates a population limit of 100 people but inhabitants aren't set in stone and may leave and arrive at any time which allows for a constant state of flux. This game is also known as Harvest Moon Kimi to Sodatsu Shima. View the back cover and screenshots on the main NCSX website.
NCS Game Notes
» Movement is controlled entirely through the stylus by tapping on the touch screen. To move the protagonist, tap on a location on the touch screen and he or she will walk on over obediently. To run, tap further away and watch the hero gallop. » The first task once you've been led to your new parcel of land is to clear the field of debris and detritus. Some things never change. Tap around the field to move around and then tap on each item to heft it into your bag which can hold an infinite amount of objects. It's tedious work but someone's got to do it. » A little green frog hops around the field but you won't be able to catch it. Think of it as your friend until the missus is corralled. » If you don't input any action on the touch screen for a few seconds, the onscreen hero will soon throw up both of his/her arms as if to say, "How now, brown cow." » Rice may be planted in paddies which grows up into thick bushy plants. » As the population of the island grows, the amount of suitable marriage partners rises. There's a flipside to the escalation of love interests however because the number of rivals for suitable marriage partners also rises. » Once you get married in the game, children inevitably follow. Be a good parent and raise your offspring from helpless babies to rambunctious tykes. » The player's home at the outset of the game is a shack-like domicile adorned with a red roof that's perfectly fine for a bachelor. However, as your family grows, you'll need more space. Thanks to the help of a carpenter, the shack may be expanded with additional rooms and grow into a Mcmansion if so desired. » Treating your livestock well results in a higher productive yield. Chickens lay more eggs, cows produce more milk, and sheep grow thicker tufts of wool. » Once you obtain a fishing rod, you can stand alongside different bodies of water and try to pull assorted varieties of fish from the depths of ponds, rivers, and other pools.
