Stardew Valley player tries to beat game at 50x speed

Rath Games, the player who famously cleared Final Fantasy 14's free trial solo, has taken on a new test: completing Stardew Valley at 50x speed.

At that rate, 'the actual day length of Stardew Valley at 50 times speed is 28 seconds.' He starts a playthrough where days flash by, and he splits his daily schedule to squeeze in chores.

Sometimes he struggles to collect eggs and pet chickens; other days he manages to chop trees — or, as he puts it, a tree. Fishing proves toughest: he often can't even see a fish, let alone catch one.

He's still 'discovering some of the craziest exploits to make it possible.' He doesn't manage to nail it all at once, which isn't too surprising, considering just how fast everything is moving.
