Harvest Moon GBC3 was the third Harvest Moon game to be released on the Gameboy Color.
Plot
Harvest Moon GBC3 has two starting plots, based on which gender the player picks to play.
Pete: The boy from Harvest Moon GBC2 in Flower Bud Village has made a success of his farm. Mr. Heinz, the mayor, tells the player about a friend of his that lives on a far away island. He says that this friend has died and now his daughter is going to take care of the farm. The girl doesn't know the first thing about farming so Mr. Heinz asks you to help her get the farm started.
Sara: When playing as a girl, you start as someone who used to live on an island with her father, Harry. A while after leaving the island, you receive news that your father has died, so you return to look after the farm. Mr. Heinz enlists someone from another place to help you work on the farm.
When the game starts, the main character's grandfather's spirit appears to you, asking you to renovate his farm. You have a year (4 seasons to bring the farm back to fruition. After the year has passed, you will be evaluated to see how well you did your job.
