Get ready to cook and explore at the same time in wholesome metroidvania Magical Delicacy

Platforming adventure Magical Delicacy will have you doing some witchy cooking and exploration in a sprawling town of hungry people this week, as the cute little pixel-art platformer releases on July 16. Notable for its combination of metroidvania-style platformer exploration with the cozy characters and crafting of a life-sim-esque cooking game, Magical Delicacy has a enough going on that something about it is going to appeal to a lot of people.

As young witch protagonist Flora arrives and sets up shop in a new town she’ll meet new people in the community, from normal townfolk to the local magical practicioners. She’ll also engage in the local economy by buying ingredients and ugprading her kitchen and garden. You can use all that stuff to make new recipes you’ve learned, or to riff on them for new ends—all to sell to the locals who need some new potion, pastry, meal, or tea.
