We Never Logged In...?

While working on the hit game Stardew Valley, there was a fatal error in the NPCs' code... emotion. This caused the once-linear characters to feel... different things... something spectacular! They became almost...human.

After noticing their mistake, the coders became interested in how people would interact with their newfound discovery, so they created the game to be played in a virtual-realistic setting that causes the user to be transported to a whole new world...The Stardew Universe.

Although the project was scrapped and scrubbed from official documents, somehow...more like someway the system stayed running...as if it were almost...alive.
