In Harvest Moon: Tree of

prospered with life and energy, but is now in serious trouble. The mystical
Mother Tree that once watched over the island has disappeared, and the Harvest
Goddess is nowhere to be found! The island has lost its connection with nature
and the inhabitants don’t know what to do – it’s up to the player to save the
island! Players will help to rebuild the island by working the land, befriending
and raising animals, nurturing friendships, and creating a family. When the
Mother Tree is reborn, the Harvest Goddess will return and bring prosperity to
the island once more.

Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility is
rated E for Everyone by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board.
