Please help my research! (regarding "world-building" and "place-making" within Stardew Valley)

Hi, I'm currently a junior in college who is taking an "user experience(UX)" course. For this course, I had to choose and play a game to explore how the "game world" is built - and I chose Stardew Valley. I have been enjoying the game so far but I am very curious about why other players are so attracted to this game, and what others think make this game into a "place". To give some context, a space is just a space (it is objective and impersonal) while a place includes all the memories and emotions of a space in addition to the physical aspects of it. It would be very much helpful if you can answer few questions and let me know what makes Stardew Valley a place, not space.

It would help out a lot if you guys can fill out this quick survey below (it takes like 3 minutes max!)

Completed your survey. A note on survey design - unless choices are mutually exclusive, you will get better data by asking for rankings.

I hope that this forum will help me because the research is interesting and important, and I would like to provide quality information at the end. It's the first one I've used a forum to get information, and I hope it will work out. From time to time, I use https://essays.edubirdie.com because there are tasks which are very complex, and I don't have time to do everything. Such professional services always help, but I hope that this time, I will do everything myself. It's good to know that help is always available.
Good luck with your survey.
Hope you will get enough responses!
