It’s important to remember that Stardew Valley was developed by just one person — and yet, we can’t help but highlight some of its strangest bugs. With the Nintendo Switch version out now, players are experiencing a kind of Groundhog’s Day thanks to a bug that kills files upon saving.

A large thread on the game’s community board, hosted by publisher Chucklefish Games, compiles players’ experiences with the bug. There’s only one way to save progress in Stardew Valley: Get into bed and go to sleep. (That makes sense when thinking about how sleep works in real life. At least, to me it does — just roll with it.) But several people are finding that the game crashes as soon as they lay down to rest — erasing all of their hard-won progress.
