Stardew Valley is a farming simulator in which players take on the role of an urban resident who inherits their grandparent's farm in the country. Subsequently, the player ensures that the farm is successful as they brave the four seasons.
The game was developed by Concerned Ape published by Chucklefish. Upon its release, the game proved to be a commercial success, selling more than 20 million copies, and it subsequently spawned an equally successful board game.
