Harvest Moon is a farm simulation role-playing video game series published by Natsume. The main objective of the games is to rebuild a run-down old farm and turn it into a successful one. The most recent game was Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories, released for iOS and Android in 2016 (with PC and Wii U releases due later in 2016).
Previously, Natsume published the series Bokujō Monogatari in North America under the title Harvest Moon. However, the developer of this series, Marvelous Entertainment, decided to have their own American division, XSEED Games, take over North American distribution in 2014. However, due to Natsume keeping the rights to the Harvest Moon name, the latest title in the series had to change its name to Story of Seasons while Natsume took the opportunity to start making their own "Harvest Moon" games with Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley. This has caused some degree of confusion.
