About This Guide
Who runs this Harvest Moon: Echoes of Teradea guide, which official sources every page is built from, and how corrections are handled.
This is an independent guide to Harvest Moon: Echoes of Teradea, written for the launch build of the game. It is not run by Natsume, it is not affiliated with Natsume, and nothing here is official.
Official launch-trailer frame — the game's own dialogue carries a lot of the detail this site documents.
Where the information comes from
Every page on this site is built from material the publisher or the game itself put out, plus what players with early access reported. In order of how much weight it carries:
- Natsume's own press releases — the title announcement, the pre-order announcement, the first-trailer release, the Collector's Edition announcement, the digital pre-order bonus release and the launch trailer release.
- The official Steam store listing — the description, key features, platform list, store categories, system requirements and the gift-with-purchase window.
- Official screenshots and trailer frames — read directly, including on-screen text such as item prompts, location labels, the game clock and the campsite menu.
- Creators who played the game before release — first-hand reports on systems such as feeding, taming, statue types and stamina behaviour.
Where a figure has never been published — crop growth days, seed prices, heart thresholds — this site does not print one. An invented number is worse than no number, because it gets copied.
Images
Screenshots on this site are official store artwork and frames taken from the official launch trailer. Each one is captioned with what it shows, and they are used for reference and commentary. All Harvest Moon imagery and trademarks belong to Natsume Inc. If you own rights to something here and want it removed, the contact page has the address.
Corrections
If something on this site is wrong — a date, a name, a mechanic — say so and it will be checked against the source and fixed. Corrections are the fastest way this site gets better, and they are welcome from anyone who has actually played the game.
How the site is organised
Content is split by what a player is trying to do, not by how the game is built:
- Starting out — the beginner guide and the farming guide.
- Systems — crops, livestock, companions, campsites, statues and Happilia.
- The world — the four villages, the map, wild animals and festivals.
- The people — characters and romance.
- Buying it — release date, platforms, bonuses, achievements and the FAQ.
The whole list is on the guides index.
