There isn't a huge incentive to donate but I'm happy to see the series evolve even a bit by adding something new. You can also donate sea creatures and treasures that are found from mining, foraging, and draining. It is fun to donate items, though, and the fact that you are given a camera to take pictures of wild animals then donate the photos is a nifty feature. Unfortunately, it's quite typical and dull to walk around, especially when you compare it to the latest Animal Crossing iteration. The museum feels like something taken out of Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley where you donate items to display and show off how cool your collection is. The plot may be lacking but I don't expect much more from a Story of Seasons game.

You also have opportunities to change the aesthetics of the town by completing tasks although it rarely seems to make a huge difference and is more of a vehicle to move the story along because as you upgrade the town, it apparently attracts more tourists. I enjoyed unlocking these shops and would have liked to see more of this perhaps starting out with just a few locations to purchase items then having to complete tasks to unlock more unusual ones. In order to unlock a couple more shops, you must complete some tasks. Olive Town is laid out plainly with shops in rows, a beach, a large mansion, a little park, a larger one, and then a town hall and museum next to a gathering area that's often used for festivals. v1d30chumz 78-26-147-81 Ouch! They weren't kidding about this housing bubble. Keep in mind there are 3 large farm areas in total including a different mine on each section. Meanwhile, you have no idea what you'll find in that space until you do so. For some reason, the pocket map only covers the town which you could say adds a bit of mystery to the farming area because you start out with a small space and have to complete tasks in order to unlock new areas. The handy pocket map that tells you the opening dates and times for the shops is a nice touch and helps you to not constantly research shop hours. Some folks might be disappointed by this while others may prefer the efficiency of having all of the stores in one location. One thing you'll notice quite early on is that Pioneers of Olive Town's map is a little different than what you might be used to as it's split into sections one being farm space that you can cultivate and change as you please and the other being the town.
