What makes Stardew Valley special? Sure, it's the wonderful music - and there's plenty of that to discuss, and we will. Maybe it's the clear passion of its sole creator. The shedding of life's burdens that the game allows us to experience that we might never otherwise. What makes Stardew Valley special must be all of these things and more - but really, it's probably mostly Abigail.
