Harvest Moon DS, known in Japan as Bokujō Monogatari: Colobocle Station (牧場物語 コロボックルステーション, Bokujō Monogatari: Korobokkuru Sutēshon), is a farm simulation role-playing video game for the Nintendo DS, part of the Story of Seasons series.
It was published and developed by Marvelous Interactive Inc., and released in Japan on March 17, 2005, and in North America on September 12, 2006.
It is the first entry in the series without series creator Yasuhiro Wada heavily involved, though it borrows many assets from Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town and Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life, such as the graphical style from the former and setting of the latter.
The Witch Princess, on meeting the Harvest Goddess next, attempts to cast a spell to silence her, but instead petrifies her.
Cows, sheep, ducks, and chickens are available for purchase, and must be housed in different types of pens, which must be bought from Gotz, the town's woodcutter.
After earning enough money, the player may upgrade their house by calling Gotz, and buy a kitchen, appliances, or furniture items by using the Harvest Sprite Shopping Network.
If players upgrade their home twice, buy certain items, and rescue 60 Harvest Sprites, they may choose to marry.
