[edit] Gameplay

The game takes place on a relic-filled island which can be explored by walking or biking. Players have the ability to explore ruins and even visit a volcano. All these areas have their own terrain and is said to resemble a tropical paradise.

[edit] Characters

The lead character of the game is a robot that is created to look and act like a human being. You play the role of a robot who is trying to save a barren volcanic island from futuristic "autofarming"...

[edit] Development

The game features a new art style that steps away from the traditional style of the previous Harvest Moon games.

[edit] Reception

Reviews of the title were mixed. 3 British sites scored the game at 80% or above[1], yet IGN rated the game at 6.5, or "passable", saying that the story develops slowly and the gameplay strays too far from Harvest Moon's traditional farming focus.[2] A PS2 version of the game titled Innocent Life: A Futuristic Harvest Moon - Special Edition has been released as well.[3]
