Plot

edit

The player, Kevin or Angela, moves to Waffle Island which was once enchanted, home to the deceased Mother Tree that was once sacred. After the Harvest Goddess vanished, the island lost its connection with nature and its inhabitants do not know what to do. By growing various crops and herbs, tending to and befriending animals, forming friendships, and raising a family, the player volunteers to save the island by bringing its tree back to life. They also meet five Harvest Sprites who help the player on their mission. Eventually, they learn that to revive the tree, they need to seek out a seedling that will grow into a new tree in order for the Harvest Goddess to return. Once that's done, the main story ends.
