I have played it. It's cool. Personally I think the dev bit off more than he could chew, though. I don't know if you're familiar with the history of Harvest Moon / Story of Seasons / Rune Factory, but it really feels like he just tried to make the game to beat all those games and do everything they do, and didn't really think about whether certain aspects actually fit in his game or were necessary. imo it resulted in a bit of an unfocused and ultimately shallow game compared to what it was trying to emulate.
But that was, of course, a long time ago. I know it's been getting big updates for a long time, and it does have multiplayer now which is completely unique in its genre. So that's cool. I hope this analysis is no longer correct.
To get to the point though, I highly recommend Rune Factory 4 if you enjoy Stardew Valley. imo it's a better game.

That is true, Rune Factory is very anime.
