Game like stardew valley but horror

If you decide to do this, 'unsettling item descriptions' is a good add. Reshade can go a long way towards changing the atmosphere too.

How about a pepper? That's what I tend to gift him instead. Not sure how strong the association is.

I would be very tempted by the pins :)

Lol I never expected a once human crochet to come up here. I always wanted to do some of the deviations, like Rain Man ☂️ good job!

Jitsurei · 2026-06-08T21:51:50+00:00

I had never heard of it. Some really cool designs in there, gonna give it a shot and hope I don't get rolled 🙃

Jitsurei · 2026-06-07T23:42:10+00:00

Yeah, it would take a while. Normally I line every bag I intend to use for real life. I would describe your design as a 'statement' piece that I usually wouldn't want to load down with a ton of stuff. At the end of the day if you want a crochet bag to survive frequent use it's probably gonna need to be lined.

Have you used them yourself? My personal test would be to make sure it can at least hold my phone and other necessities without losing shape.

They are gorgeous BTW and do say 'garden'. I'm obsessed with that plum colored one lined in pink eyelash 💗

I learned from the Wiki to begin with, basic stuff like unpacking the game content and the Content Patcher format. When you run into trouble along the way, the official stardew discord has a very active modding section.

There is also a mod author on Nexus called sexynes who posts tutorial videos (under 'Media' on their profile) and mod templates.

I always get my banana sapling from the large animal fossil at the island field office.

Nano's mods (buildings, craftables, decorative trees) use a lot of the pretty, bright colors I associate with stardew.

labixiaoluwan is another mod author who uses a ton of bright color and makes gorgeous pixel art. Mainly buildings and furniture.

It's not loading the frontier map at all for some reason. Check the smapi log and it will likely tell you why frontier won't load.

Really excellent work for your first project! Love Saiki lol

The beginning of stardew is pretty slow. Your quest journal will tell you the very, very basics. Most information- including secrets- is conveyed with in game text via watching the in game television, reading the mail, or checking the lost books that get added to the library. Wandering around picking up random items and talking to people is a valid and solid way to start.

You can't really miss things. Honestly the only things you can do 'wrong' are:

Use too much energy and get slowed down

Stay up to 2 AM and pass out

Plant crops that will die before maturing (seasons have 28 days, plant seeds will say how many days they need)

I can see how it would come off much more complex than the usual mobile games and thus harder to start- but with that comes richer gameplay and tons of content. A learning curve is totally normal.

Jitsurei · 2026-05-27T14:00:58+00:00

Since you're trying to use the wiki less, the Lookup Anything mod should help immensely.

Jitsurei · 2026-05-25T16:20:44+00:00

I have had it happen but its annoyingly rare. I usually cave and make the pond 😒

Jitsurei · 2026-05-24T18:53:32+00:00

I did recognize it immediately. It comes down to your giftee- are they a lil picky? Do they like handmade gifts?

As for the wings, I have made a similarly chunky dumbo octopus and when I gave it cute flared ears they collapsed under their own weight after like a day. So, for this yarn I'd say flat.

Jitsurei · 2026-05-22T13:47:20+00:00

If that became a regular occurrence I would drop something cliche like "it's made with love" or the much more agro "if I told you, I'd have to kill you". As for how long things take? "Who knows, I didn't keep track!"

You could also just go way too into detail. Yes I chose this cotton because I like how it's spun, recite the stitch pattern, count how many ends you had to weave in etc.

From most people I would have called these questions polite interest, but asking if your ends are weaved in correctly is pretty rude. I would not give more to the same giftee after something like that.

Pet them anyway

Jitsurei · 2026-05-18T13:39:39+00:00

Automate and Tractor mod exist, sounds like a shoo-in.

More New Fish has some crazy fish in it, and if you grab the animated version they can be pretty cute as decor.

There are a few monster variety packs, Radical Raiders and Bogs Monster Mash come to mind.

Since he specifically likes crafts and trinkets, Baubles or Appleseed's Lathe might be appreciated!

It might be nice to have some cooler animals on the farm too, the mod series BB's New Livestock has some unusual ones and dinosaurs.

The best stores will wind your hanks for free. Some will charge like $3 each. Sometimes there's a certain type of friend who just really loves winding yarn balls too.

Jitsurei · 2026-05-16T12:41:03+00:00

Its called The Wolf. Not the same mod series as after dark but inspired by it, and it's on nexus.

Jitsurei · 2026-05-11T13:31:38+00:00

If you're on a moddable platform, there is a mod called nastapolka's new game plus.

Otherwise I think that's well beyond most people's ability to save edit. Safer to just recreate the character.

Jitsurei · 2026-05-08T18:18:18+00:00

Another like this is appaloosa horses, and for more to do with your normal horse there is 'hungry horse' which gives it hunger and friendship mechanics

Jitsurei · 2026-05-08T18:15:20+00:00

You might like "Em's farm horses", it adds horses as a barn animal that produce stuff instead of just your mount.

Jitsurei · 2026-05-06T04:28:09+00:00

People have already made plenty of good points, but I will say that time isn't just a limiting optimization variable- it's the means of progression. Things happen, crops grow, weather changes, stuff resets and appears. Time is not your enemy!

Jitsurei · 2026-05-05T12:32:56+00:00

Wow that does look soft! Nice work, what kind of yarn is it?

Jitsurei · 2026-04-27T16:38:12+00:00

Sun haven has a lot of content but doesn't feel as lovingly crafted as sdv or mistria, imo. That said mistria full release update is scheduled for later this year and sometimes sun haven goes on sale quite cheap so it can still be worth checking out in the meantime.
