is a game of many mysteries but one of the most bizarre puzzles the community has yet to solve shouldn't be a conundrum at all. Many players may enjoy the game's life-sim elements but one has to embrace a sense of disbelief when it comes to understanding some of the stranger discoveries that can be unearthed in and around Pelican Town. Beyond the monsters in the mines, it's also just odd to imagine the new Farmer running into town and making friends with everyone by handing out various seeds and Artifacts they found on a walk.
Yet a new mystery has gripped the community as user Reddit user UpsetEmergency5248 questioned why the game doesn't have any bathrooms.
Upon reflection, not a single toilet can be found in Pelican Town, leading many to suggest that the locals simply don't need to use the bathroom.Yet the matter deepens when exploring around the spa, which very clearly has stalls in the locker room, suggesting that the town still requires them and yet no one has a bathroom within their home.
The world of Stardew Valley includes a lot of otherworldly elements, but certain aspects of the game still don't make sense even in a fantasy setting.
When it comes to explanations behind the lack of bathrooms, players have fashioned all manner of solutions regarding the puzzle. Many have suggested that the game's top-down view simply obscures any toilet placement, while others believe that Pelican Town's residents use outhouses that simply aren't visualized. Some have suggested that a small restroom should be included as a potential upgrade for the Farmer's house, going so far as to explain it could provide a small stamina boost after it's been used.
The most realistic answer as to why bathrooms aren't featured in is that they simply don't match the game's tone. While it may be more realistic to have functional toilets and characters that use them on a scheduled basis, it doesn't make the game more fun and would actively make some of the gameplay more frustrating. is
