UNWIND

What's it like?

Stardew Valley combines farming with village life. Grow crops, raise animals, fish and explore caves as your farm takes shape across the seasons.

Why choose this one?

Choose this if you enjoy returning to a familiar place and making gradual progress. A farm gives you a long-running project; the village adds reasons to step away from it.

Before you jump in

The in-game day moves forward, and cave exploration includes combat. A gentle-looking world does not mean every activity is pressure-free. Multiplayer availability and features differ by platform.

A SMALL IDEA FOR YOUR FIRST SESSION

Give yourself one small task for your first day. Explore the surroundings before planning an enormous farm.
