There seems to be signs of past life on the island, but no one knows what happened. In the beginning, the player (playing either as the male character, Mark, or the female character, Chelsea) is shipwrecked with a family of four and end up on a deserted island. This child progresses only so far as to begin to crawl, toddle, and speak. The couple can also have a child, after a month of marriage.

Playing as a girl, there are also six eligible bachelors: Vaughn, Denny, Shea, Pierre, Elliot, and Mark. If playing as a boy, there are six bachelorettes to choose from: Natalie, Witch Princess, Julia, Lanna, Sabrina, and Chelsea. Marriage is only possible once you have met everyone in the game. The dog protects livestock, and the horse can be ridden and used for farm work.Īs in the other games in the Harvest Moon series, Island of Happiness offers players a chance to marry.

Work animals include a dog and horse, which can be acquired after meeting certain criteria. Livestock includes cows, chickens, and sheep, which produce milk, eggs, and wool respectively.
