Harvest Yuuka

Harvest Yuuka is a farming life simulation set in the world of Touhou Project. You play as Kazami Yuuka, a flower youkai who lives in the Garden of the Sun, and tend crops, care for animals, fish, cook, improve your tools and home, and meet Gensokyo’s residents at your own pace.

Life in Gensokyo

The game follows four seasons, with seasonal changes to the scenery and different crops growing throughout the year. You can talk with Gensokyo’s residents and get to know them through character events. Featured characters include Medicine Melancholy, a poison doll born from a lily-of-the-valley garden; Cirno, the cheerful ice fairy known as “⑨”; Wriggle Nightbug, a firefly youkai who can command insects; Yakumo Ran, a wise nine-tailed shikigami who lives in Mayohiga; Shameimaru Aya, a crow tengu newspaper reporter; and Luna Child, the fairy of moonlight and one of the Three Fairies of Light. Other familiar Touhou Project characters also appear.

Farm and household

You plant, water and harvest seasonal crops, and raise cows, sheep and chickens for milk, wool and eggs. Fishing spots around Gensokyo offer a variety of fish, while cooking lets you learn recipes and turn crops, fish and animal products into meals.

You can upgrade tools at the Kirisame Magic Shop, ask the carpenter to renovate your home and buy useful information from Aya.
