If you're interested in a really chill, cozy farm life game similar to the Harvest Moon series, I strongly recommend Stardew Valley! There are ten romanceable characters (5 female, 5 male), and though it's kind of "everyone is bi," I prefer to consider it "everyone is farmer-sexual." :P

Harvest Moon is a classic! I loved that series growing up. Heard that the company branches into two now. The original developers who made Harvest Moon,Marvelous AQL, now call the game series Story of Seasons. Natsume, which was Marvelous' language localization company, stole took the name Harvest Moon once they broke up.

I like Rune Factory a bit more than Harvest moon now---It's a fantasy/medieval spin-off of the game. On RF4 you can change your game sprites to the opposite sex later on (I think you have to beat the game though..)to make it seem like a same-sex relationship, but idk if they still refer to your male character now changed to female sprite as a "he".

I've played a bit of Stardew Valley too, it's been awhile. I'll have to check it out again. What bogged me a down a bit was the graphic designs(even with mods) and I guess I don't have that 'one-cool-trick-that-doctors-hate' in Stardew Valley(yet). I know the ins and outs of HM and RF games to where I can get what I need easily. SV is a whole new and different beast(not a bad thing).

I typically romance female characters in games even on bisexual/straight romance games...maybe only once did I romance male character but still preferred women characters, they tend to have more interesting character designs.

Edit: word

Oh interesting, I didn't realize the companies had split up! I did notice the games Natsume puts out have been a downgrade in quality, so now I know why.

I mod a lot of the graphical appearances in Stardew Valley as well. The game was made by one guy, which is incredible, so I give him a slight pass on not being a top tier pixel artist. :P There's definitely some jank to the character sprites and animations, though.

Yeah, I'm a bit disappointed with what Natsume came up with, but Marvelous has been doing a good job! They use XSeeds for their language localization now.

True, ConcernedApe spent 4 years creating Stardew Valley all in C#! It's cool that he blew up so big after and was able to get the game on different platforms and is continually adding features to the game.

I'll have to give Stardew Valley another go. I liked it at first, but just been in a gaming rut where things I used to enjoy are losing its flavour for me and I overanalyze small faults in the game.

If it helps, there was just a huge update to Stardew a few weeks ago that added a bunch of stuff, including a whole new area called Ginger Island.
