▍About Rune Factory 3 Special
Rune Factory 3 Special is a remake of the original Rune Factory 3 released on October 22, a fantasy-simulation RPG where players take on the role of Micah, a young man who lost his memory and was rescued by Shara, and asked to help with tending to the town’s farm.
Players can help the town with various ways to money, by growing vegetables to sell, foraging, fishing, and of course defeating monsters and looting dungeons, and even taming them!
Rune Factory 3 Special is not just a remake though, as it introduces the newly-wed mode found in other Rune Factory titles, and has become a staple in the series. This mode adds new FMVs for this mode, and introduces new ways for you to spend time with your favorite characters from the 11 heroines in the game, offering loads of replayability and precious scenes awaiting you in this remake.
