Story of Seasons, known in Japan as Bokujō Monogatari (牧場物語, lit. Ranch Story), and formerly known as Harvest Moon, is an agricultural simulation role-playing video game series created by Yasuhiro Wada and produced by Victor Interactive Software (acquired by Marvelous Entertainment in 2003, now Marvelous Inc.). Story of Seasons was the first game to be released under the new international series title of the same name.

From 1996 to 2013, Natsume Inc. oversaw the English translation and distribution of the Bokujō Monogatari series in North America, where the games were released under the series title Harvest Moon. In 2014, however, Marvelous Inc. announced that the latest installment in the series would be localized by their American publishing brand Xseed Games under the new series title Story of Seasons.[1] In September 2015, Nintendo of Europe announced that they would be handling the European distribution of the first game released under this title, Story of Seasons, which was released later that year.

The main objective of the series is to rebuild a run-down old farm and turn it into a successful one. Over a period of time, the player tends to crops and livestock, befriends nearby townsfolk, and eventually gets married and starts a family. The first game was Harvest Moon, released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1996.
