We’ve added a new feature to help you track the family histories of your character and of each villager. In the Family tab, you'll now find a tree icon in the upper right corner. Clicking on it will take you to your family tree. There you can explore the connections and relationships. Additionally, you can click on individuals in the Village tab to view their family trees. See when people died, cause of death, year they were born, spouses, children and more!


We are also excited to announce that Echoes of the Plum Grove is now compatible with Mac! We’ve been working hard to get an experience for our Mac users, and we can’t wait for you to join us in exploring Honeywood with us.

Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to seeing all your family trees!
