Stardew Valley

In Stardew Valley, the playable character is working a monotonous office job when they receive a letter from their recently-deceased grandfather. In his will, he's bequeathed his farm in Stardew Valley to the protagonist in the hopes of providing them an escape from the fast pace and pressures of modern city life. The player immediately quits their job, moving out to the country to start a new life among the overgrown farmlands and the people of nearby Pelican Town.

The game saves every time the player goes to sleep at night.

The game is pretty straightforward and easy to play. However, if players are ever confused about something, there are plenty of online guides available for them to consult.
