Love In the Valley
A mysterious new farmer is in town. They're silent, rich, and super hot. The spring flower dance is only a week away! Can you win their affections and score a date with them to the dance?
Stardew Valley meets Monster Prom in this visual novel! You can play as Sebastian or Abigail and visit Cindersap Forest and Town Square. This is a fan project with a group of volunteers who liked the idea on TikTok. If you want to help us expand it in the future (more characters, more locations, more scenes), feel free to reach out!
Each character has three possible endings. Can you unlock them all?
Also worth mentioning, this is fan art, so we don't want to profit off it! It's free to play here, we ask that you don't download or distribute it elsewhere. <3 We hope you love it!

I just found the game and on my first try I won
This was so cute! Would like more but totally love it still. Will keep playing
as someone with selective mutism, this interpretation of the farmer always warms my heart. esp when the other characters are friendly towards them anyway :) beautiful art too
I seen people play the game and at first I wasn't sure because it's a dating sim and those things are weird sometimes. This one though, is amazing and I really love everything about it except one thing. I can't play the game, I am on mobile and I have a Galaxy AO3s, Android. Whenever I join the game it just brings me to a grey black screen. It never changes and I can't play, if I could hve help that'd be great I really wanna experience the game myself.
I honestly can't wait until more stuff is added
yippee!!! very fun and SO CUTE
holy. THANK YOU FOR GIVING MARU HER LOCS <3 <3
yes
Is this just for pc? I’m on tablet and it won’t let me run it
Im on mobile and it wont let my play, ima try in my school computer though see if it'll let me
It's lovely!
cute!!
This was so refreshing, thank you !!!
Hey, super sweet game! Is there any way for it to be fullscreen?
Adorable
help cuz the farmer actually looks like my first farmer(and probably the only one i'll use(but i lost all the save data on my first one cuz my tablet broke)and like,first time i made him i tried to get with Sebastian(which is who i decided to play as lol)
this is so cute im going to cry
how come the game isn't loading... am I doing something wrong?
I love it, like, so much. I needed it in my life.
SUPER CUTE!!!!!!!!!
hi, I was wondering if you ever plan to translate the game in different languages one day?
Woo I rizz the famer up in 1 round with both characters
Love the game ❤️
this is a rlly cute game, I love it!!!! <333333
this is SO cute!!
Hey! Love this fan game, the art is stunning and the writing is super cute ^^! I was wondering if you'd be tackling other characters if this game gets enough donations and support? Either way, it's really well-made!
Thank you so much! Glad you like it! We don't have any plans to expand it right now, we can't take any donations for it since it's fan art and not our own characters
There’s a walkthrough for Sebastian’s secret ending on my tiktok! Part 17 of the “Reverse Stardew Valley” playlist
if you need voices for the other characters i'd be happy to voice one if you're having auditions! Also are you gonna be keeping it as just Seb and Abby or will you add more player characters like Maru or Emily?
This is really old, but I would like to voice act as well.
Me too!
was very excited to play but nothing loads in </3 i tried on chrome and microsoft edge hopefully it gets fixed soon ;;
Hey, thanks for the heads up! Not sure what the issue is, would need more info to be able to debug it. Feel free to send me an email (ifthencreate@gmail.com) with more details, like what platform you're on (Mac or PC), any errors in the dev console (Right click > Inspect > Console), etc!
giggling, twirling my hair, kickin my feet and everything
Me too, oh my god this game is soo cute
Hey! I really love your game and you said "If you want to help us expand it in the future (more characters, more locations, more scenes), feel free to reach out!" so, even tho I'm not that good at art, if you need help for anything ask me! I'm a quick learner and I can help for whatever you want! I can also help translate this game into french if you want to :)
I hope there will be updates where we can play this for a longer amount of time, visit all the places, talk to everyone in town more than once! Love it though!
Great game, it was just a black screen for a while but i just had to wait a bit for it to load, it took like 10-13 minutes but it loaded!
very cute! I'm only able to go to the town and the forest, though. Will the beach, hall, and farm be accessible at some point?
will there be an update where you can play as the other romanceable characters in stardew valley? (btw loved the game!)
bro it took me longer then it should have to pick my character
I saw this game on Instagram and thought it looked adorable. It only took me two tries to get the date with the farmer, but that had more to do with luck than anything else. I loved meeting the other characters, and will try for the secret ending. Wish me luck!
eyyy this was very sweet ! it took me 3 tries just to romance the farmer,, now i see why i took so long to romance anyone in the game itself
it says that the server ip address could not be found, im on chrome
That's weird, haven't seen that before! Feel free to send me an email (ifthencreate@gmail.com) with more details, like what platform you're on (Mac or PC), any errors in the dev console (Right click > Inspect > Console), etc!
That was so cute! I love this!
i loved it!!
