Stardew Valley is an open-ended country-life RPG!

QUOTE
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.

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 10 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!

Xbox controller support (with rumble)! (Keyboard still required for text input)

Over two hours of original music.

More toward western style, can even same-sex marriage.
It's more similar to traditional HM, and nearly every villager still have their own heart event.
However if you expect something like RF, then you might not enjoy it.

BUT, if you enjoyed traditional HM series (HM SNES until HM FoMT), then you should try out this game.
This game is pretty solid. You have a big freaking huge farm, and it's entirely up to you to how your farm layout looks like.
You can even set where to put the barn!

If you don't like farming, you can go hunting in dungeon, similar to RF (no main storyline though).
Still don't like? Go fishing.

In this game, you have 5 skills that can level up: farming, mining, foraging, fishing, and combat.
You can choose whenever you prefer. Of course it is possible to max all of them (and it's not really that hard).

TL;DR:
This game is HM (SNES) with steroid + Starbound/Terraria/Minecraft (a bit of sandbox aspect) + old school 2D dungeon (like zelda) + Animal Crossing.

Just played the flower dance festival and i had a great laugh. Everyone rejected me!

Anyway, how much did you guys made in a season?. Im wondering if im too slow since i only made 21k so far and it's 26th of spring. I am switching between activities like 1 day mining, the other day fishing and foraging.

Sounds alright, if you don't mind to farm, save some money for summer, and then fall.
Via farming, these two seasons can easily make you earn until 6 digits. laugh.gif
Hints: berries.
But of course you need proper tools for that (upgraded water can, fertilizer, quality sprinkler if can) to minimize your time spend on watering them.

Haha, right, instead of normal 30 days, developer make it 4 weeks (4 x 7 = 28 days).
Still your earning is fine, should be able to earn quite a lot in summer.

Day 4.

Can't stop playing.

"Just one more day."

Can't leave room.

Lost job.

Everyone IRL and online has stopped talking to me.

Eating dust bunnies and dead skin cells for nutrients.

Relieving myself into mineral water bottles.

Send help.

Level 80.
My suggestion, don't go through every level in detail.
Once you found the stair to next level, take it (unless that level really has something you never seen before).
There will be elevator checkpoint for every 5 level, so it's not hard to revisit those level.
It would be better to advance faster.
