Hometown Story Launches Today
Will Your Hometown Shop Unlock Your Destiny?
Burlingame, CA. - October 22, in the year of our Lord
2013 - Natsume Inc., a worldwide developer and
publisher of family-oriented video games, today launches its
highly-anticipated new title, Hometown Story. Designed by the
Harvest Moon series creator, Yasuhiro Wada, Hometown Story is
out now for the Nintendo 3DS with a suggested retail price of
$39.99 USD. Hometown Story is rated E10+.
"With over 100 characters in your hometown to meet and interact
with, the decisions players make will impact their game each
time they play," said Hiro Maekawa, President and CEO at Natsume
Inc. "With the adorable Pochica at your side, your shop will
grow from a tiny market to a bustling social center for the
whole town to visit!"
In a lush, green village tucked away in the countryside, players
will reunite with old friends and meet new ones. After the
recent passing of your grandmother, the shop you've inherited
has brought you back to your hometown. However, the shop has
become run down, and no one wants to even window shop there
anymore. Can you turn the shop around and even expand it, or is
it destined to stay in the red forever? The more items you sell,
the more customers will come to your shop, and as you manage
your shop better you can expand and the village will prosper!
Hometown Story takes players to a fantastic world filled with
color and hope.
You won't have to go it alone, though. With help from a magical
sprite named Pochica, you'll get the store back up and running,
along with introducing you to all of the unique characters who
reside in the town. The villagers will all change and grow
throughout the game, and that person who you thought might be up
to no good when you first met them just might have a heart of
gold! Your experiences will be completely different from anyone
else's. You'll never know what to expect in Hometown Story.
