In this first title for the Nintendo Switch, players can enjoy a more flexible ranching and slow life by repeatedly exploring the vast forest and making various discoveries and encounters.

Prologue

Olive Town was established by Grandpa and his friends a long time ago.
Grandpa talked happily about the ranch life he spent there. This is the town you have always wanted to live in someday. You pack up your belongings and head for Olive Town.
When you arrived in town, you found that your grandfather's ranch had fallen into disrepair and was covered with forest. With the help of the town mayor, you decide to revive the once great ranch.

Create your own ranch from scratch!

Creating a ranch in this title starts with clearing a vast forest from scratch. Trees are cut, stones are crushed, and weeds are cut. It takes a lot of patience, but as you cultivate the forest, you will encounter a variety of natural blessings and forest inhabitants.
Sometimes you can explore the mines you find during your exploration, capture wildlife with your camera, or even go fishing.

At first, the ranch has only a small tent, but by using the materials collected from pioneering the forest and repairing and expanding the facilities, the usable land and the things you can do can be expanded rapidly.

In addition, the layout of the ranch can be freely changed from the location of the animal huts and the size of the fields to the various patterns of paths and fences made from materials collected in the forest. It can be a large farm, a large ranch, or even a slightly different use of space. It is up to you to decide what kind of ranch you want to make of this vast land, the largest in the series!

Enjoy your own ranch life!

The well-known ranch management has been further enhanced in this title! Here we introduce everything from the basics of ranch life to the new elements that appear in this title.

Cattle raising and farming
By cultivating the land, sowing seeds, and watering the land, you can grow a variety of crops. By shipping harvested crops and earning money, you can expand your ranch as you go.

If you get by-products from taking care of animals, you can ship them as they are. You can also sell them at a higher price by processing them.

You can even cook with various materials obtained from livestock raising and farming.
You can ship the food you cook and sell it, but you can also eat it yourself to recover your strength and work on the ranch longer.

Upgrading tools such as mowers, plowshares, and hoes with the money earned from ranch management will increase the area that can be cultivated at one time, making your life on the farm even more comfortable.
There are also many other fun elements unique to ranching, such as "beekeeping," "mushroom cultivation," and "fruit tree cultivation!

■Colopon
While living on a ranch, you will meet the spirit "Koropon". When you become friends with the colopons living in the village, they will sometimes share the crops and materials produced in the village with you.
At first, there are only a few of them, but you will find many colopons during the course of your exploration. As you explore the forest and become friends with them, they may take you to special places...?

Crafting

Let's make various things from materials!
By using materials such as "wood," "grass," "flowers," and "stones," which you can obtain while cultivating the forest or living on a farm, you can create a variety of things.
Using materials as they are, you can create only a few things, but by using a "maker" to process the materials, you can expand the range of things you can create. Let's create a variety of things to add color to your farm.

Let's go to Olive Town!

In Olive Town, the town next to your ranch, there are many unique residents. Visit Olive Town often and you will see the daily lives of the residents.

Enjoy the events!

Let's go shopping!
Olive Town is a small town, but it is lined with a variety of stores where you can find almost everything you need for life on the ranch. At first, the selection of goods may be a little lacking, but as you ship goods from your farm, the selection of goods in the stores will improve.
