Yes, multi save is supported, but if you're save scumming, do be careful not to overwrite your spouse's game.
If you're playing on a Nintendo Switch, maybe you could just have her register her own account so that the save files does not clash?
Core components are still the same, you farm, forage, mine, cook, and also fish. Then you also must upgrade your tools and with each upgrade, your farming and mining life becomes easier. Doraemon tools will come in handy in cases like "Super Gloves", which I just recently acquired allows you to sow the seeds and fertilizer in a wide area rather than tile by tile. There's also the Anywhere Door which allows the user to teleport around the map, but it comes with a catch, the door will only be in entry and exit point of each map. There's other tools which I have yet to find, still in 1st year, Summer 17th.
Also, take note that there is no romance or marriage in this game, it's mostly all just town folk stories and building friendships. Every month also got certain town events where everyone does not work for that day...
Upgrade costs is one hell of a hike per upgrade....
Aite thank you very much! Ordered mine after all the reviews, cant wait to get my hands on it tomorrow
