Natsume Inc.

Natsume Inc. is the studio that practically invented the cozy farming sim vibe before it was cool. Best known for the Harvest Moon series (yep, the OG farm-life fantasy), Natsume has built a legacy on games that are all about growing crops, building relationships, and escaping into simpler, sunnier virtual lives.

From raising cows and wooing pixelated sweethearts to saving sleepy towns one carrot at a time, their games always focus on charm, community, and that satisfying feeling of turning dirt into happiness. And while farming is their specialty, Natsume’s catalog also dips into fishing, adventuring, and even monster-raising — all with that signature family-friendly flair.

If you’re into relaxing, feel-good gameplay with just the right amount of heart, Natsume’s the kind of studio that keeps your stress bar at zero and your inventory full of turnips.
