"But while Rune Factory has gone on to its own critically acclaimed series, there were two other Harvest Moon spin-offs that came onto the scene in 2007, the same year as the original Rune Factory (at least in North America; the original Rune Factory released in the PAL region in 2009). These are Innocent Life: A Futuristic Harvest Moon and Puzzle de Harvest Moon."
Angelus Victor says: The Harvest Moon series, now what are perhaps known as the Story of Seasons series, have spawned a number of spin-off games that diverged a bit from the series's usual DNA. But today, I want to focus on a hidden gem that has long since laid dormant on the PlayStation 2 and the PSP: Innocent Life: A Futuristic Harvest Moon, as I think that even as we head into 2024, it is a must-play hidden gem for the PSP.
Okay, that is actually really surprising. I thought no one remembered this game. It was a very fun game indeed, and just as fun was the reviewers at the time complaining that it was not exactly like Harvest Moon.
This was such an odd and interesting game playing as a kid lol. I should return to it some day.

Siliconera - Natsume will release Harvest Moon: A New Beginning on November 6th in North America, but in the meantime, they’re releasing a few of their older Harvest Moon games for download.
