Unused Contents in Stardew Valley Looks Mysterious

"Some things are best left unsaid."

-Linus (Stardew Valley)


There are a couple of interesting secret places that you can find and go into in Stardew Valley, like the Witch Hut, the Sewers and the Secret Woods. It took some times, it took some efforts, and the player will eventually able to enter those secret places. 

But did you know that there is more hidden places that the player naturally should not be able to be in? The secret places in Stardew Valley are not only those the player can gain entrance through normal gameplay efforts apparently. So a Reddit user goes by the name RamonaSkye find these hidden areas using Cheat Engine and share it on Reddit, obviously (dammit). What RamonaSkye find in the normally unreachable areas quite interesting. 



RamonaSkye explore the area during festivals, and begin with the Egg Festival. During the egg hunt event an egg is found in front of Joja Mart and the Wizard next to a parked Joja's truck. (I don't know if this area is inaccessible during  Egg Festival, but if you look at an image of the egg hunt map, looks like it is inaccessible.)

An egg that supposed to be in the accessible area, and the Wizard full with a dialogue. If it's supposed to be an inaccessible area then why should the developer put normal functioning contents in there? That's what makes it interesting. Well, probably it was planned to be accessible but then when the plan changed they simply left them as it is--still functioning--and didn't remove them. But still, it is interesting.



The area also a little bit different than you normally see during days when there is no festivals. As you can see above, there should be an ice cream stall near where RamonaSkye's character stand. Eventhough it's not Summer and the ice cream stall only operational during Summer, it should still be there.

The furnace and things next to the blacksmith is also gone, along with the mine cart next to them. Normally that wooden fence near the Mayor's house have a gap on it but it's also missing during festival. 



There is also a path that leads to the summit, which is an unused area in Stardew Valley. Look at the summit above, despite all that glitched visual isn't it remind you of something? Hint: Harvest Moon Back to Nature's Mother's Hill summit. I'm not saying Stardew Valley has something to do with Harvest Moon (even if it has), it's just look alike. 

Now take a look at the following images..



The Wizard stand in unreachable areas during some festivals, but he always have his dialogues eventhough he is supposed to be unreachable. The screenshots above taken during the Spirit's Eve and Festival of Ice, it looks as if the Wizard is a 4th wall breaking character, standing in unreachable spots while having dialogues ready in case the player manage to reach him. 

And knowing that Linus also have a dialogue while being in unreachable spot, I'm starting to think it's not the result of unexpected change of plan during development as I said earlier. So are Wizard and Linus really 4th wall breakers? That's a nice fan theory, don't you think?

You can see the whole thing here, but just as RamonaSkye stated there is not much of noteworthy things from the out-of-reach-festival areas.

Stardew Valley is one of my favourite games, I have 'wasted' many hours of my life on it, and I just love how detailed it is. You can really tell how much love the developer has for the game. I really hope we can see some more content for it in the form of updates or DLC!! Thanks for the post ^_^

Agree, this 'small' game is not that small apparently. It's full of surprising secrets and neat small details. As far as I know next new addition is the multiplayer mode, along with an awesome new feature thanks to the fans that asked for it and to the developer for granting their fans' wish.
