He also makes contact with a Univir settlement located in a desert, but only interacts with them in his wooly form, hiding his human persona from them. After recovering the ability to transform into a golden wooly, he discovers that he is a half-monster and decides to keep his true nature a secret from the other villagers. Tasked with raising the farm around the massive Sharance Tree, Micah discovers that for reasons unknown the tree has not bloomed for fifty years, and since then the land started decaying. Other changes in the game include: the player to transform into a golden Wooly (bipedal sheep-like creatures), plants can be grown underground under a special tree that Micah lives in, villagers can now join you in battle and lend you their skills as battle companions, and the game's new multiplayer mode lets up to three players work together to conquer dungeons with rare items and monsters more interactively than the previous games. The game features new AI with dynamic schedules, as well as new battle commands and NPC interaction. Crops can be grown for profit, along with fishing, gathering, etc., and there are dungeons to explore, grow crops, fight monsters and even tame monsters in. He is greeted by a girl (Shara), and is tasked with raising the town's farm. Like the other Rune Factory games, the story begins with a character (Micah) who has lost his memory showing up in a small town. It is the fourth game in the Rune Factory series, and the third on the DS.
