Improving closeness in Harvestella is key not just to unlocking new jobs for your character, but for unlocking the hearts of your friends and neighbors. Maxing out closeness creates an opportunity to establish romance and then a life partnership – Harvestella’s take on marriage – with a handful of Harvestella’s characters, though the farm-RPG isn’t too keen on telling you how to actually make it happen.
How closeness and romance work in Harvestella
Harvestella has eight characters you can potentially strike up a romantic relationship and, later a partnership with. These are:
- Istina
- Aria
- Brakka
- Emo
- Heina
- Shrika
- Istina
- Asyl
Once you max out a character’s intimacy level, complete all their character stories, and complete the main story, you can view their Partnership event, aka their marriage event, and invite them to live on your farm at Bird’s Eye Brae. Establishing a partnership unlocks new dialogue options, but you can’t have children and, as far as we can tell, can’t have multiple partners.
