One of Stardew Valley's most iconic elements is the ability to romance and marry one of the many residents of Pelican Town, such as the artist Leah, the introverted goth Sebastian, or the novelist Elliott. Modeled after the style implemented by the Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons franchise, every player has had their favorites and, aside from some lost personality during the marriage phase, it's seen positive reception among the Stardew Valley player base. Now that ConcernedApe is working on his next game Haunted Chocolatier, fans' expectations for the romance system will be high.
