This game is a hidden gem. I was excited for it ever since its release. The story involves time travel, magic, and farming. I love the casual pacing elements the game presents (You're not pressured to do all the story before a deadline date, so you can spend all your time farming if you want!)
The characters are all very lovable, to the point I was having trouble choosing which ones to keep in my party. The music is incredible, the visuals are wonderful, and the puzzles the game presents you with are challenging and rewarding.
Something the game does that is very unique to timeline-based RPGs: Dungeons have 'shortcuts' which can be unlocked by spending a little bit of in-game time once you reach them. Utilizing these shortcuts can make each floor of a dungeon possible to clear in a single game-day cycle, while it would otherwise be difficult to do so.
When compared to other farming RPGs like Rune Factory or Stardew Valley, I would choose Harvestella 100%.
