You've inherited your grandfather's old farm plot in Stardew Valley. Armed with hand-me-down tools and a few coins, you set out to begin your new life. Can you learn to live off the land and turn these overgrown fields into a thriving home? It won't be easy. Ever since Joja Corporation came to town, the old ways of life have all but disappeared. The community center, once the town's most vibrant hub of activity, now lies in shambles. But the valley seems full of opportunity. With a little dedication, you might just be the one to restore Stardew Valley to greatness!
Features
Turn your overgrown field into a lively farm! Raise animals, grow crops, start an orchard, craft useful machines, and more! You'll have plenty of space to create the farm of your dreams.
4 Player Farming! Invite 1-3 players to join you in the valley online! Players can work together to build a thriving farm, share resources, and improve the local community. As more hands are better than one, players have the option to scale profit margin on produce sold for a more challenging experience.
Improve your skills over time. As you make your way from a struggling greenhorn to a master farmer, you'll level up in 5 different areas: farming, mining, combat, fishing, and foraging. As you progress, you'll learn new cooking and crafting recipes, unlock new areas to explore, and customize your skills by choosing from a variety of professions.
Become part of the local community. With over 30 unique characters living in Stardew Valley, you won't have a problem finding new friends! Each person has their own daily schedule, birthday, unique mini-cutscenes, and new things to say throughout the week and year. As you make friends with them, they will open up to you, ask you for help with their personal troubles, or tell you their secrets! Take part in seasonal festivals such as the luau, haunted maze, and feast of the winter star.
Explore a vast, mysterious cave. As you travel deeper underground, you'll encounter new and dangerous monsters, powerful weapons, new environments, valuable gemstones, raw materials for crafting and upgrading tools, and mysteries to be uncovered.
Breathe new life into the valley. Since JojaMart opened, the old way of life in Stardew Valley has changed. Much of the town's infrastructure has fallen into disrepair. Help restore Stardew Valley to it's former glory by repairing the old community center, or take the alternate route and join forces with Joja Corporation.
Court and marry a partner to share your life on the farm with. There are 12 available bachelors and bachelorettes to woo, each with unique character progression cutscenes. Once married, your partner will live on the farm with you. Who knows, maybe you'll have kids and start a family?
Spend a relaxing afternoon at one of the local fishing spots. The waters are teeming with seasonal varieties of delicious fish. Craft bait, bobbers, and crab pots to help you in your journey toward catching every fish and becoming a local legend!
Donate artifacts and minerals to the local museum.
Cook delicious meals and craft useful items to help you out. With over 100 cooking and crafting recipes, you'll have a wide variety of items to create. Some dishes you cook will even give you temporary boosts to skills, running speed, or combat prowess. Craft useful objects like scarecrows, oil makers, furnaces, or even the rare and expensive crystalarium.
Customize the appearance of your character and house. With hundreds of decorative items to choose from, you'll have no trouble creating the home of your dreams!

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
Made it through year 1 in about 4-5 real days.
Loaded the game and my save said that I have been playing for over 40 hours.
I just worked the same as a work week at my job.
Really though, the graphics style is very reminiscent of the publishers game Starbound. If you like that then you may like Stardew Valley.
No native Linux support yet though. Works with Wine.
To start off: I own this on another platform outside of GoG, and if the issues I'll describe below were addressed, this game would warrant 4 stars.
The issue comes into play *almost* immediately, when you get chests. There are places the game will let you put chests (indicated by a green box) and places where the game will not let you put chests (indicated by a red box.) You would think that placing a chest in a green-indicated location would eliminate any issues, right?
Wrong. Chests disappear all the time, along with any contents placed in them. A response from the dev has explained that this is because of NPC pathing issues: if a chest is in the way of an NPC's walking path, it will be destroyed to allow them to walk through. When asked about whether this issue would be fixed (either by making NPC walking paths show red for chest placement, or by allowing NPCs to walk through chests,) no response was offered. The issue has been known on forums for a long time, and hasn't been addressed.
Knowing that at any point the materials I have worked for and stored can be lost and there's no in-game way to know where it is safe to place a chest ruins this for me. It gets 2 stars because the rest of the game design is more or less flawless, as indicated by other reviews. But with the ability to lose a significant chunk of progress at any point in time without warning, I can't give it more than 2.
Nice graphics. Too slow. Too grindy.
I bought this game thinking it would've been relaxing, but it felt more like wasting time pretty fast.
I get the point that this game is not about winning or losing, but the curve to make things happen at the beginning is so steep that it just feels pointless.
Imho you've gotta have the "hardcore gamer's attitude" to really enjoy this game, if you're looking for a casual game this might look like one but it really isn't, it asks too much of your time to make (simple) things happen.
Stardew Valley is the one game I really enjoy playing. this Sim type farming take me back to the days when I was younger and helping my Grandparents at the lake. it was small farm land. the game was to the T to real life . plant, sell and hang out with the neighbors. I love the story of the game and the controls too.
