Stardew Valley is a simulation role-playing video game developed by Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone.
Players take the role of a character who takes over their deceased grandfather's dilapidated farm in a place known as Stardew Valley.
Stardew Valley is open-ended, allowing players to take on activities such as growing crops, raising livestock, fishing, cooking, mining and foraging, and socializing with the townspeople, including the ability to marry and have children. It also allows up to four players to play online together. Stardew Valley was praised by critics, who highlighted the game's music, characters, and relaxing qualities, with it later being cited as one of the greatest video games of all time.
