Stardew Valley Review (Noel)
I just want to share some good memories I have with this game.
It was 2023 when I was introduced to this game by my ex girlfriend and we played together. She hosted the game. It was honestly one of the best gaming moments for me ever, and till now I still remember all sweet things in the past: Her, the game, and playing the game with her. We were all noobies and barely know how to progress or make money, and we kept getting hungry and exhausted 🤣. After letting our crops die in summer and dying in the cave multiple times ourselves 🤣, we slowly learned how to play, making just enough to get by, upgrade tools and the farmhouse. Then we divided the roles and tasks... me being Noel the miner/fisher who did the caving and Ginger Island and her being the cutie farmer girl that she was, raising animals, harvesting crops and socializing/helping the villagers with their requests. The game was so happy, funny and relaxing. It was progressing at a steady slow pace, but that only means more quality time for us two goofballs to spend together... All the precious memories which I will hold dear in my heart forever.
Sadly, all good things come to an end. Through time, we progressed and achieved almost everything in the game, Almost. It was only an "Almost". We broke up, fortunately on good terms. We still talk occasionally, maybe just wanting to check out on each other. The game remains incomplete, unfinished and so does our love story. Now, everytime I just want to be reminiscing, I will play Stardew for a while...
Sometimes it's just really hard to keep yourself together when the music of this game seems to just wanting to shatter you with nostalgia..., so I pour myself a bittersweet cup of coffee, gaze through my window and think about my once dearest, most beloved/cherished girl and the first farm which we built together alongside with the memories, both of which I used to hold close to my heart, now far gone, lying beyond the horizon...
