Stardew Valley player names their son Crow, game thinks he’s an actual bird

by

Stardew Valley remains brimming with delightful, unexpected discoveries even after several years post-release. Contrary to Eric Barone’s frequent assertions that he’s finished updating the game, he still occasionally releases patches, adding new layers of peculiarities to unearth. Though it appears he is wholly dedicated to completing Haunted Chocolatier, there’s always more undiscovered content hidden in SV. For instance, a recent bug was recently discovered unintentionally.

Wonder if he’ll be able to fly once he grows up

The teen who seems to be going through a phase of maturing sharescaptivatingly on Reddit, a peculiar glitch in Stardew Valley, accompanied by images. They creatively named their virtual offspring “Crow,” and the game apparently got perplexed, replacing the baby’s image with that of an actual crow in the game.

In my excited exploration of the relationship section, everything seemed ordinary, even little Crow, but when I glanced over to the gifts area, there it was – a stunning, otherworldly bird with fiery red eyes that seemed to pierce right through me.

Kinda wondering if he’ll change into an actual crow once he’s no longer an infant

It’s more probable that the character name Crow, found in the game’s code, is connected to the crow NPC introduced in Update 1.6 – the one allowing players to reclaim rare lost items. This has sparked curiosity about whether this feature might extend to other NPC names that typically can’t receive gifts. A user on Reddit even posed the question: “Does this interaction work with other NPC names?

So if I name my baby Gunther, it’ll be the museum Gunther’s picture?

This looks like it’s definitely something worth trying out, but since my current game only allows me to have two kids at a time, I’ll pass on the excitement of exploring this for now. Perhaps you could give it a go instead! Or maybe I’ll just search for a Prismatic Shard and hope that a trip to the Witch’s Hut will bring some new surprises.

If Stardew Valley, which is already wonderfully quirky, gives you an idea, then imagine the uniqueness that awaits in Haunted Chocolatier! Eric Barone hinted that it would encompass a broader world, so I’m eagerly anticipating more unpredictable and surprising events, but this time on a grander scale.
