| Four hearts | Go to Harvey’s clinic while he’s there and he’ll give you an annual check-up, he mentions that your pulse seems high giving you three choices in how to respond: -Say that you’re nervous -Claim you’re out of breath from working on the farm -question if Harvey is actually a doctor, as your pulse is fine Unsurprisingly, insulting Harvey loses you 50 friendship points, but either of the other two options gives you 20 points |

| 14 hearts | You need to upgrade the farmhouse at least twice and enter it between 8pm and midnight. Harvey cooks you a romantic dinner and you share a nice evening together |
What are Harvey’s favorite movies and concessions?
While he’s not as easygoing when it comes to movies as Stardew Valley’s Marnie and Stardew Valley’s Sandy, Harvey does still enjoy a few of the films on offer, but his taste in snacks is questionable.
