There is a lot of mention of dates such as the note from your grandpa about a 3 year date and the game keeping track of the total days and years.
Does the game have an "end"? Such as after 5 years on your farm, the game is over and you retire or something?
Besides going from season to season, do I have to worry about being on any sort of time limit?
Best Answer
According to a Questions / Answers session where the game developer answered :
So the answer is no. There is no limit on the number of days or years in the game. You can play as long as you want.
