Twins of the Pasture is a poor Harvest Moon clone that lures you in with its lewd cutscenes, but doesn't have much else going for it.


The game features two twin sisters (that I find hard to believe are twins, but okay, rolling with it) who suddenly realize their parents are in a lot of debt, and they are in risk of losing their farm home due to it. With the parents off on an adventure to climb a misspelling of "Mt. Everest" (which is in a fictional island that they have to take a boat to, so that's okay), it's up to the twins to work on the farm.

Gameplay is pretty... basic. Takes the mechanics of a farming game and makes it pretty simple. Perhaps a bit too simple for any fans of the Harvest Moon series. Adding to the "gameplay" are the interactions that may lead to pantyshots, boob grabs, or anything else you could possibly think of that's lewd and shouldn't be done. Oh, and to make matters worse, these interaction scenes happen due to other NPCs requesting these "treats" from our protagonists, and offering services in return.

Controls are awkward. Walk around by clicking where to go, click on who to talk to, and hold Z (or use the mouse scroll wheel!?) to turn your walk to a run. Controller support does not exist. The game's cutscenes/conversations are handled in a visual novel-like style, which makes an odd quirk because you can save your progress while talking to NPCs, as well as using the book back at the house. (I suppose it's so you can review those lewd cutscenes).
I was however intrigued by the mechanic of switching between the twins: By pressing the spacebar, you can switch between which twin to play as. The twins are not grouped together, so when you switch to the other character, you also move to where you left them. This makes a couple of tasks pretty easy, especially with the inventory system shared (go into town, buy seeds/fertilizer from the shop, switch to other character and plant the seeds/use fertilizer).

Performance wise, it runs just "fine". There's no quality settings, and you play the game in fullscreen, or a fixed 4:3 ratio. The game's graphics are pretty simplified 3D, so I don't see any computers really having a problem running this game (but then, this coming from a weeb gamer rocking a 1080Ti). As an aspiring indie developer myself, this game's character models irritate me in a strange way. They seem to stand in a pose that almost looks like the basic "T-Stance" pose used for easily rigging and modeling characters. It seems like all of the character models in the game tend to stand like this if not moving.

A few problems I noticed while playing this game however:
  • Sometimes, the HUD elements (like the clock) glitch out for a split frame. Does not hinder gameplay, but irritating to notice.
  • Being as though the game's original language is Chinese, some parts of the game are either not translated well, or not translated at all to English.

In the end, for the launch price of $4.79, I can say "You get what you paid for". After the sale ends however, I'm not exactly sure if this would be worth a purchase. If you were looking for a lewd game with a slight hint of Farming mechanics, you've come to the right place.

It's games like this that makes me wish Steam had a sideways thumb for recommending games, but I'll give it a thumbs up because I bought it for the lewd cutscenes anyways.

@Deedlie DoLL that usually is the case. I do not buy or even consider gal (H) Games on steam unless there is a guareentee there is a patch that i can make it full content mode. the versions on steam are often inferior. crush crush is one example (not a huge example) hunie pop also has uncensor patches.

@ShinTheKnight : yea but look like the steam version is missing around 50% of CG from the H version(counting the one in who were censored) so the price is less than half the H version ....... honestly even for 5 buck it's a total waste of money i 've the 19$ and there is so much difference that i don't regret my money on the H version .

@Deedlie DoLL : I've played some good H-games in my time, this one seems to use H-scenes more like a cheap cash grab (but then again, with that price tag I can't really complain).

@Syber 198X : If you want to rely on the scroll wheel to run, and lift your hand from the mouse every now and then to press the spacebar, yes.

@YukoValis : I was about to make the comment about Yohjo Simulator, but I see that's back on steam. I'll remove my thoughts regarding a possible Steam removal.
