It's astir Stardew Valley's 10th birthday, which emans that for a decennary players person combed implicit each inch of Pelican Town and the surrounding area, unearthing secrets, deciphering Dwarvish manuscripts, and putting Strange Buns successful hidden boxes. But the game's creator, Eric Barone (ConcernedApe), says there's inactive 1 concealed that fans person ne'er found, though helium hopes 1 time they do.

We spoke to ConcernedApe for a large interrogation successful grant of the game's 10th anniversary, and among the galore topics we discussed was the question of in-game secrets. ConcernedApe has said successful the past that determination was inactive an outstanding secret, truthful we wanted to cheque successful and spot if that was inactive true. And, yup, it is, though possibly his cheeky teasing volition assistance idiosyncratic find it now. Here's precisely what helium said:

There's inactive a concealed that nary 1 has ever found. I don't deliberation they ever will. Maybe I'll uncover it someday, but the occupation with the concealed is that it's, it's fundamentally a concealed connection that's successful the crippled and it reveals thing that really isn't adjacent existent anymore. It was revealing a happening about- Do I privation to uncover it oregon not? Well, that's each I'll say. I'll accidental it was a concealed connection that was fundamentally announcing thing that I really shifted gears and that happening wasn't adjacent existent anymore, but it's inactive successful the game. I conscionable don't cognize if anyone volition ever observe it due to the fact that it's truthful obscure.

I followed up by marveling astatine this knowledge, arsenic the crippled has been combed implicit and datamined each to heck implicit the years. However, ConcernedApe replied that "there's definite ways to fell messages that can't truly beryllium datamined. If you fell thing successful the code, it's going to each beryllium recovered due to the fact that radical decompile the codification and look astatine everything. If you accidental fell it successful the creation oregon something, if it's a concealed connection that's hidden successful the artwork somehow, past radical can't truly observe that arsenic easily. They person to spot it."

Could that beryllium a hint arsenic to what this is? Possibly! Get to work, concealed hunters. ConcernedApe concluded by saying helium doesn't deliberation anyone volition find it, but hopes that idiosyncratic does.
