My game of choice to spend a year in would be Stardew Valley, I’d love to be the harlot of Pelican Town. Minecraft was a close second chance but I feel like Minecraft is inherently more dangerous unless you choose a “peaceful world” but then I think would still end up dying from fall damage before the year is up. I’d love to romance the love of my life Sam, the hopeless musician who doesn’t have much of a future job prospect, but then secretly romance Alex on the other side and get the best of both worlds of creativity and brawn.
I’d probably actually be a terrible farmer, but I’m a semi-decent fisher so I’d be able to fish my way into profitability. It’d also be pretty exciting to be able to help the junimos to help finish the town hall. As a city-raised person I’ve only been exposed to small-town festivals and events via television and films so it’d be awesome to see the magical luminous jellyfish dance, the flower dance, egg festival, night markets, etc… (too many to name them all tbh, but I’d love it).
With all this said, I’d probably get sick of fish very quickly, so catch me selling all my fish real quick and then just being at the pub getting a meal every night instead and not going to Joja Mart 👀
