The premium item shop was empty for a few days after that. Clearly, Grace thought, they were assessing the results of their experiment to see how it had gone. It was a full week until she walked into the shop to see that something new had been added to the store, but Grace could already see that whatever it was was a much bigger deal than a set of chairs.
Fantastic stuff. Really love how the two "locations" blur from the very beginning from Grace's point of view, while still preserving the dissonance of the game dialogue against the real world. Also, after years of reading video game horror about teens and college students, it's so nice to see one from the point of view of a jobbing adult (and everything that comes with that). So much fun to read. I can't wait to see what's next!
That was an awesome story, Andy -- the perfect blend of comedy and horror. (Tom Nook would certainly be envious of this business plan...) Thanks in advance for sharing these throughout the season! Looking forward to your next one!
Loved every bit of it. The horrifying conclusion we were barreling towards became clear but it was still somehow shocking when it happened. Uh oh indeed sir, uh oh indeed..
That first sentence being sus, and then turning horticultural 😂 Only promises there will be a phrase which will mean something actually horrible, and not take a turn towards planted cabbages. Really good work! Congrats!
This was an especially creepy read as a Dreamlight Valley obsessive who would *probably* not sacrifice a beloved family member for the Zero the dog companion and gravestone kennel...would consider a toe though

Genuinely gasped. Not the granny!

Could definitely see this as an episode of Black Mirror or the Twilight Zone reboot. Looking forward to more!
Bet you miss regular old microtransactions now, huh?

Grandma, NO!!!
Really looking forward to more of these!
Excellent story! Cannot wait for more. How about a Cornelius and Toots crossover?
Awesome story. Can't wait for more. 😁
Nice!
Oh, that was good! Can't wait to see what comes next!
Amazing! Laugh out loud funny and creepy

I'll think twice before upgrading my home in Stardew Valley from now on! Amazing work, Andy!
