Win a treasure trove of Hometown Story goodies!

Just in time for the game's European debut

Win a treasure trove of Hometown Story goodies!

To celebrate the European launch of Hometown Story this Friday, publisher Rising Star Games is teaming up with Pocket Gamer to give away a whole bunch of loot. That loot includes soundtracks, T-shirts, and more.

Games industry legend Yasuhiro Wada has signed several of these items, making them rather exclusive items indeed.

Set in the Harvest Moon universe, this 3DS life sim sees you running a shop and befriending townsfolk.

We reviewed the US edition of the game back in November. Since then, however, Harvest Moon series creator Yasuhiro Wada has gone back and tuned the game up, making the European version of Hometown Story the studio's definitive release.

We will be selecting four winners for this competition, each of whom will be running off with one of these prize tiers...

1st prize
  • Physical copy of Hometown Story signed by Yasuhiro Wada
  • Hometown Story T-shirt signed by Yasuhiro Wada
  • Ember plush signed by Yasuhiro Wada
  • Official Nobuo Uematsu Hometown Story soundtrack
2nd prize
  • Hometown Story digital code (redeemable from the Nintendo eShop)
  • Hometown Story T-shirt signed by Yasuhiro Wada
  • Official Nobuo Uematsu Hometown Story soundtrack
3rd prize
  • Hometown Story digital code (redeemable from the Nintendo eShop)
  • Official Nobuo Uematsu Hometown Story soundtrack
4th prize
  • Hometown Story digital code (redeemable from the Nintendo eShop)
