There's a lot more to Stardew Valley than meets the eye. At first, this cosy life sim seems like a piece of cake; all you need to do is farm produce, sell it, expand your homestead, and hopefully make some friends along the way.

Looking at the wiki or guides for extra information is by no means a bad way...
