Synopsis:

You have inherited your grandfather's old farm plot in Stardew Valley. With only some old tools and pocketful of coins, can you turn this overgrown plot of land in to a home? Stardew Valley itself has seen better days as the Joja Corporation has moved in and all but eliminated the old ways, with the Community Center lying in shambles. If you can restore your home, why not all of Stardew Valley? And maybe you can even find love... Explore a vast world and improve five areas: farming, mining, combat, fishing, and foraging. Engage with over 30 unique characters, each with their own stories, explore a vast, mysterious cave and get lost in the open world as you explore all the possibilities around you.
