Masochism

Its called cheating. Download some mods or something; the game is the game they made. If you want something different, there are plenty of options.

Edit: A question for those downvoting comments; where are the indie souls-likes with an easy mode? The market for a such a thing doesnt really exist as far as I can tell. On the other hand, if those games do exist and im just not aware of them, then for fucks sake just go play them and be happy. Im not out here saying Stardew Valley needs a permadeath mode, that would be childish.
