Gustafa is one of the marriage candidates in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life. He is a free-spirited poet who lives in a yurt near the river.
While traveling the world, he stumbled upon Forgotten Valley and decided to settle there. He loves music and nature and doesn’t worry about the small things in life.
You’ll often find him playing his guitar in peaceful spots around the valley, such as near the spring or under the trees behind the inn.
His diary, which reflects his affection toward the player, can be found on the sofa inside his yurt. Befriending or marrying Gustafa will influence your child to become more interested in music.
If your friendship with Gustafa is high enough in Chapter 2, he’ll give you a toy drum when you talk to him inside his yurt.
