Stardew Valley for PC is a game that allows players to get away from the hustle and bustle of their daily lives, whether at school or work, and see what it is like to take over a slightly dilapidated farm, working to raise crops, raise money, craft gifts for neighbours and much more. A farm simulation game, this is a role playing action game, albeit one where the action is gentle and farming oriented, rather than the usual gung-ho battle tactics of an RPG. About the Game Players are given an online journal in which their current tasks are inscribed: the successful completion of each ensures that you can claim your reward – so satisfying to click to claim! – and see the next task come up. In the extremely simplified calendar, there are four seasons, each lasting about twenty eight days and within each season certain tasks should be done, and certain crops can be grown. It is impossible to grow products out of season without the greenhouse. Use your journal as an in-game guide and to-do list to ensure you water what needs watering, plant those crops that need to go in that particular month-season, and harvest those that are ready. Be careful not to become too exhausted when you leave the farm without food to hand – if you run out of energy, you will need to spend a sizeable amount of gold to be transported home to recover. A large amount of gold and a number of your precious inventory items will be taken too, which should be warning enough for most people not to do it more than once! Multiplayer Benefits While the game works very well as a solo player game, the addition of multiplayer some time after the initial release was an excellent idea. You and your real life friends can form a farming community online, working next to each other, gifting each other excess produce a
