Hello Xbox Wire readers – I hope you’re hungry! Today we at Whitethorn Games are serving up some tasty tips to help you on your own journey to becoming a full-fledged witch, cooking up one magical dish at a time in Magical delicacy – a Metroidvania-lite meets cooking game, now available on Xbox and Xbox Game Pass.
In Magical delicacyTake on the role of Flora, a young witch who travels to the adventurer town of Grat to hone her magical skills. There, she is tasked with delivering food and potions prepared with the power of magic to hungry townspeople. As she explores the beautiful port town, she meets all sorts of interesting townspeople, from mysterious travelers and forgotten legends to masters of their craft, each with their own fascinating stories and special culinary preferences. It’s up to Flora to create the perfect dish to satisfy their discerning taste buds in her customizable kitchen, using ingredients she gathers around town, grows in her garden, or buys in shops.
This may sound like a big challenge for a young witch, but we’ve put together a mise en place with tips to help you tackle even the most difficult requests!
Explore every corner
The first thing everyone does when moving to a new city is to explore it – and Flora is no exception! Magical delicacy
Talk to the townspeople
The best thing about a new city is meeting new people and making new friends! Take some time to introduce yourself to the colorful characters that make up Grat’s community – maybe they have a new recipe, ingredient, or helpful information to share with you. It’s also important to maintain good relationships, so check in with your new friends every now and then, as they may have more to share later.
Visit the shops frequently
Since Grat is quite a busy town, you will discover many quaint shops and merchants as you explore further areas. Every shop in Magical delicacy sells something helpful, like the Blacksmith who can craft new kitchen tools to add some variety to your food prep, the Mapmaker who can help you keep track of the new places you’ve discovered, and more. Be sure to browse through the different tab categories when purchasing items – you never know what hidden gems each shop has in store!
And speaking of inventory, what happens when you arrive at the store and don’t have enough of what you need? Luckily, stores restock daily, so just go back the next day and you’ll find that much-needed item back on the shelves.
Search for ingredients
Running out of pearls to trade for goods? There are plenty of ingredients you can get for free! From mushrooms to berries to exotic plants, foraging around town will reveal a variety of tasty edibles to add to your ever-growing list of recipes. And if you run out, all you have to do is wait a little while for them to grow back. Check each area regularly, as some foods grow less frequently than others—revisiting an area might just find a tasty food item you missed.
If in doubt, experiment
Every good cook knows that preparing an innovative dish sometimes requires a little trial and error. So don’t be afraid to experiment in the kitchen! Every recipe in Magical delicacy is customizable, so some dishes may require specific ingredients (mushroom noodles wouldn’t be mushroom noodles without mushrooms, after all), you’re allowed – in fact, encouraged – to improvise with different ingredients to suit your customers’ tastes. Got an order from a customer who doesn’t like spicy stuff, but only has one hot pepper for your dish? No problem – you can add additional ingredients with different flavor profiles that offset the heat and tone down the spiciness. Try different combinations to y our heart’s content – the worst that can happen is that you have to cook again.
Accessibility as a key ingredient
