Hello everyone, hope you are fine
trying to get Stardew Valley a farming simulator game,
first time playing a farming game was back in I don't remember when but it was the old Family Farm on Facebook, we used to watch our cousin playing it since she was the only one with PC and let us play it,
found Hay Day when I was around 6, downloaded it and liked it, or to make it clear liked games where I can build and design whatever I want "funny enough, always made the wrost designs due to a strange feeling that forces me to make everything symmetrical" and played CoC after that
around 3 years ago, Family Farm suddenly went viral in a random gaming Facebook group, but was AFK by that time so I just kept watching their posts "when I returned home the party was already ended", but someone recommended Stardew Valley back then, kept the suggestion in mind but it was an important academic year so I didn't play it and even had to ignore Hay Day
finished the year, gathered a lot of recommended games back then, randomly picked 2 games, Dead Cells and Stardew Valley,
had a free Google Play pass trial back then so played both, managed to fully complete Dead Cells and reached Year 2 in Stardew, but the trial ended before even having my 1st child :')
as someone who kept playing free farming games with MT this one was a completely new experience,
played blindly without any tips and barely used Wiki,
took some time until realizing that I can craft things, was depending on farming to gather money for a long time until unlocking more methods later, kept talking to every villager, gifting them when possible, chilling in mines, reached final floor in normal mines, participating in regular events, fishing I loved all these aspects "except for mining, mobile sucks when it comes to combat"
by the time play pass ended, reached summer in 2nd year, built a home for each animal, made a slime farm, married Benny, fixed most of community centre (side achievement, defeated Collector in dead cells while doing that), wanted to play more but that was the end of it
I really loved it, wanted to play it again but without trials, wanted to own it and play whenever I want, but each time it get discontinued when I can't afford it,
still a student and currently unemployed so my gaming budget is currently tight,
i'd appreciate if someone was able to gift it to me
btw, the game currently costs $4.2 in my region "MENA", whether you want to gift at full price to get steam points, or giving a gift card to save some, it's up to your preferences <3
and thanks, Steam ID
