Magical Delicacy's Flora's Cooking Review!

In the upcoming Metroidvania-light meets cooking game Magical Delicacy, brought to you by sKaule and Whitethorn Games, you’ll take on the role of young witch Flora and prepare delicious dishes to please customers as you explore the harbor town of Grat. Today, we wanted to get to the heart of the action, so we sent one of our team to pay Flora a visit and see just how talented the young witch is. Here’s what they had to say:

“I recently had the opportunity to visit the beautiful harbor town of Grat. While I was there, I ordered food from a lovely new resident named Flora. I must say, the experience I had with Flora’s dishes was a magical one and quite unforgettable!

“I soon realized Flora was able to prepare a variety of dishes — pretty much anything a customer could ask for! I asked her how she came to have such a large selection. Flora told me how she received recipes for some of her dishes, while others are of her own creation. When I heard this, I was curious and ordered something she created, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint!

“One of her best qualities is that she can suit any taste with her substitutions. For example, one dish I ordered was quite spicy, but it was no problem for Flora — she added a few ingredients, and it helped counteract the heat that affected my palate! It was wonderful and such a kind thing for her to do!

“Each of her dishes only uses the highest quality of fresh ingredients that she often gets from local suppliers, forges on her own, or freshly grown in her very own garden in the back of her shop. Just know that if you order from Flora, you are getting the best!

Lastly, her delivery is top-notch! With Flora, there is no need to pick up your food from her storefront; she will bring the food right to you! When my meal arrived, it was as warm and fresh as if it just came out of the oven! So, if you’re in Grat, whether a local or a tourist, I highly recommend ordering from Flora directly if she happens to pass you by while making her delivery rounds. You know I will!”

About Magical Delicacy

In this Metroidvania-inspired wholesome cooking game, players will take on the role of Flora, a young witch who cooks magical delicacies from a vast collection of ingredients in her shop. Explore the unfamiliar town of Grat and deliver these tasty treats to the townsfolk, learn new ways to traverse, discover secrets, and experience a unique and witchy world one dish at a time.

Key Features of Magical Delicacy include:
