George Stardew Valley

Maybe newbie Stardew Valley players don't know who George really is. So, to be friends with him, you have to get to know him first.

George is a resident of Pelican Town in Stardew Valley who was born on the 24th of autumn. He lives with his wife, Evelyn and grandson, Alex, on Jl. River 1.

In Stardew Valley itself, when you walk around the Jl. River 1, maybe you will meet an old grandfather sitting in a wheelchair with a cold expression on his face.

If you have talked to him, maybe he will tell you about his beautiful youth, just like what elderly people talk about when chatting with young people.

As a player, you have to help George open up more to people outside his family.

Therefore, it is hoped that you can build a friendship with George so that he can socialize to give him flashbacks to his youth.
