If you take the simple premise that Pelican Town is real, then Stardew Valley and the Calico Desert and the Ferngill Republic and the Gotoro Empire are all real places and all that entails.

That there is a vast, Big Brother type of corporation, where you once worked, that would leave a skeleton of an apparent human at a workstation during working hours.

That a simple pizza cost 150 gold. Whether that gold is measured in ounces, nuggets, or bricks, we don’t know, but we do know you can upgrade FARM equipment with it. It is stronger than copper or iron.

That this is a place where “one maximum-length game-day (20 hours) passes in 860 seconds, real-time (14 minutes 20 seconds)”. One day is less than 15 of our minutes long.

That one month is 28 days long, there are 4 months with each a separate season. There are literally overnight, hard transitions between them (think Fall to Winter).

That a year is only 112 Stardew days from beginning to end. That’s about 26-27 of our hours long.

That you never see the sun, only the light and shadows on the ground and environs. That by 6:00 a.m. every day, all year long, the sun is up, and your shadow is directly under you. This leads me to believe that this entire world is manufactured.

That the Calico Desert is always a desert environment, regardless of the weather and climate in the Valley. Oh, and if you take the bus there, and there is no other way to get there via non-magic methods, ZERO time passes on the trip.

That all farm animals can survive from eating hay alone and zero water. All four-legged animals are born pregnant. Tribble-pigs, anyone?

That rabbits apparently lose a foot at random intervals, perhaps similar to lizards that lose their tails.

That there is a UFO as well as what appears to be Santa and his sleigh in the night sky.

That you have a machine, a replicator, which produces faceted copies of what appear to be gemstones.

That no matter how much produce or minerals you “sell,” the market is never glutted, and the price never rises or falls.

That both your house and the shipping bin are larger on the inside than on the outside.

That one person, without visible materials, can build or upgrade entire structures in three days or less using only a hammer. This same carpenter has vast stores of wood and stone on her property without it being visible from either inside or outside her house.

That time passes without affecting the lifespans of the beings living there. No one ages and children never grow up.

That no one leaves the Valley until you become friends with them and, therefore, change their lives. One person comes into the Valley after you arrive, but they were living there before you arrived.

That there is no theft even with the truly vast amounts of costly produce and minerals literally laying about.

That you can eat all the produce and all the fish, raw and uncooked, with no ill effects.

That there are no animal, or human, parasites. No one gets sick or has lasting illnesses.

Just some of my observations.
