We want you to know exactly what to expect before purchasing the game. Sugardew Island is a relaxed farm-shop game with no time pressure, designed for fans of Harvest Moon DS, which was released years ago on the Nintendo DS. It’s not a traditional farming simulation like other games – instead, it focuses on running a cozy farm shop, taking care of animals, and exploring the island at your own pace.
