Huh, I guess I know even less about these kinds of games than I thought.

I had assumed that the player character was pretty blank and probably of non-specified adult age.

(Also, excellent image choice. I know it’s so well-known as a painting that some people dismiss it as cliché, but those are genuinely expressive faces and a great composition.)

It's never outright stated, but most of them assume the MC is late teens to maaaybe 30, like if you are a 40 year old farmer hitting on 20 year old bachelor/ettes or having fresh high school grads be flirting with you and people are remarking about how you're eligible it gets creepy fast and was clearly not intended to be that way.

Most of them also don't let you customize your character to look any old/er than the default young man/young woman avatars.

Also half of them start with 'your grandparents died and left you a farm' and if you're supposed to be 40+ years old when your grandparents die, either everybody had kids way early or those are some long-lived ass grandparents! There's definitely an age range that is implied.

Damn. I want this story now. A game where it's implied the MC is at least 35 who left their entire established life and friends and family in the city to move to a small town instead of a 20 year old who left their shitty entry level job.

The pool of romanceable NPCs are the single 30+ adults, some with kids from previous marriages, and the kids even if they are ~technically 18~ are *not* options; you're too old for them. You can totally hit on their dad/mom though. And the childless cat lady town mayor isn't too bad looking...

DA - I'd play this!

My experience with games like Harvest Moon etc. is it's implied your character is 18-30 at the very oldest.

Story of Seasons had a romance option who was a woman implied to be in her 30s, and the whole dynamic was how she was "so much older" than the player and if he was okay with that... Which made me think they were probably 20-25. I was young when I romanced her so I didn't mind, but if I played it now in my 30s I'd be rolling my eyes over seeing a woman my age act like an old maid.
