Stardew Valley, developed over years by a single creator (Eric 'ConcernedApe' Barone), is a farm-life simulation game about a character who inherits a run-down farm from their grandfather. Players progress at their own pace between planting crops, raising animals, mining, fishing, and building relationships with the residents of Pelican Town, with seasonal events, festivals, and a marriage mechanic also included. Known for its systems that range from simple to surprisingly deep (cave mining and combat, a fishing mini-game, community center restoration) and its relaxing, cozy art style, the game also supports cooperative multiplayer farming. Inspired by the Harvest Moon series but carving its own distinct identity, Stardew Valley is one of the best-selling and most beloved success stories in indie gaming history.
