If I buy stardew valley through steam and login in a mac does it just automatically get the mac version? Or do I need to purchase a different version entirely. How To Install Stardew Valley? Click on the “Download” button to download the game. After downloading, right click the.zip file and click on “Extract to Stardew Valley.zip” (To do this you must have WinRAR, which you can get here). Double click inside the Stardew Valley Free Download folder and run the exe application. Have fun and play!

Stardew Valley looks like a farming simulator. That’s partly what it is, but you must also develop relationships with the other townsfolk and delve deep into the mines. Its quirky labyrinthine attention to detail is as inviting for young players to try their ambition on.
On the surface, this can seem like a simple farm-simulator but players are soon drawn to the wider world, people and relationships that make their village tick. It's a game that can surprise you by the nuance and depth of characters.
There is hope running through the stories of the townsfolk. When you know them well enough to trigger the cut scenes explaining their back-stories this grows more substantial. You can even influence their decisions. It becomes less a game about farming wealth and more about generosity and community value.
