Is the farming game (ones i’ve played) polyamory friendly?
While the game allows you to date multiple villagers at one, if you date all of the bachelors or bachelorettes at once, an event will happen where they all break up with you at once. Alongside that, I have heard (but do not remember if it is true or not) that there is, just in general, a jealousy mechanic if you are dating someone. Dating multiple romance candidates in Stardew Valley is inherently treated like cheating.
Stardew Valley is not polyamory friendly without mods.
Note: I do not recommend purchasing Sun Haven one way or another. Pixel Sprout has noticeably shady business practices and the game itself can be extremely buggy at times.
Sun Haven allows you to date multiple at once without consequence, but it feels more like a coding oversight than anything meant to actually be there. It is not acknowledged in any way.
Sun Haven is polyamory friendly, but not embracing of it.
Story Of Seasons: Trio of Towns
Trio of Towns was the last Story Of Seasons game made before gay relationships were allowed in the series, and as expected, polyamory isn’t allowed either. However, you also cannot cheat in SOS3oT the same way you can in Stardew Valley. Once you start dating a marriage candidate, you can only romantically interact with them unless you break up with them.
Story Of Seasons: Trio of Towns is not polyamory friendly nor queer friendly, but it does not allow cheating or infidelity either.
Fields Of Mistria only just got its romance mechanic integrated a few weeks ago, but in the tutorial for romance, it tells you that you can date more than one person at a time, and even teaches you how the game’s dating mechanic will work if you are! Elsie, the villager who teaches you how dating works, even has a dialogue note about how it’s not her business what your heart wants, or how many your heart wants.
Fields Of Mistria is both polyamory friendly and embracing.
Luma Island does not have a romance or dating mechanic in the first place, as the game is focused much more on jobs, exploring, and building rather than the town or the villagers.
Luma Island does not have polyamory or monogamy. It does not have romance at all.
If you’re someone who’s played mlre farmings games than these, feel free to reblog and add whether the game you’ve played is polyamory friendly or not. Polyamorous people deserve something pleaseeeee
