Win a LoH Steam Key and Preload ToTT+ from JP eShop | Posted at 02:14 PM 01 December 2017
Happy Farm'n Friday! We've reached the last month of 2017 already. Time to bring out the hot chocolate, gingerbread, and mistletoe (smoooochies to all of you!)

LoH Steam Code Giveaway

If you follow @Natsume on Twitter, you could possibly win a Steam game code to exchange for a free copy of Harvest Moon: Light of Hope. When the prompt appears in their Twitter feed, simply follow the instructions (typically a retweet) to enter the contest. You'll need to have a valid Steam account and be at least 16 years old to win. Winners will be picked at the end of the time designated in the contest tweet. One of the activities you can do in the game is mining, and it isn't a simple mining node or a room with nodes that regenerate every few days. This time there's a 100-floor mine you can explore. Once you unlock Gus and help him fix up the mine entrance, you can venture in to hit the rocks to discover ore that he can process into refined building materials or gems. To find the next level down, you have to locate the staircase hidden randomly in the dirt. A feature added to Light of Hope is the ability to skip down several levels from the top entrance. As you go deeper into the mine and reach certain floor numbers, you can then magically warp to your chosen floor from the entrance of the mine. The game has also been updated to version 1.03, making adjustments to natural object appearance rates and minor fixes.
