Abstract

Stardew Valley, an RPG farming simulator, offers a world of exploration and creation of positive experiences. Affective atmospheric spaces are the main element for players to construct a safe and cozy environment. In turn, through employing familiar associations with certain spaces and objects, these elements create a nostalgic experience.
