Whatever happened to "hard work is it's own reward"? In Innocent Life, the chores are done by robots.
You wake up at six and program your robot to clear the fields and water the crops

Now what???
The only things left for you to do is to talk to the locals(who say the same thing everyday) or go for a spin on your ATV, visiting places you've been to hundreds of times before.
I gave this thing an entire week before I was bored to tears and returned it.
Making things automated is possibly one of the worst mistakes Natsume has made. EVER. And even if you don't use your robot, watering and such takes about... 2 seconds depending on how big your fields are and all you're doing is hitting x again, and again, and again.
Whoo-hoo.
Or perhaps you'll go pick some wild fruits or vegetables? Even that simple action is hampered by the use of a scale pack(only allows you to pick a set amount and then you have to drag yourself all the way home, empty it and then go back if you want to fill up again).
Advice: Don't get this without renting it.
