Magical Delicacy Steam Charts & Stats

it's been 2 weeks since I finished the game and every few days I wish there was more of it so I could play more :D

Very cute art style, fun game play, the pacing in the game is worked very well, and the characters are interesting and cute!

I liked it! I liked how hard some of the orders were to figure out. I am however, terrible at platform games. Thankfully, (and to my boyfriends disdain) there was an easy platform mode that made the game acessable to players like me who can't navigate platforms very well. The vibes were good, the overlying message was good. I wish there were more opportunities for animal products in recipes, like eggs and whatnot. Overall Did like the game :)

This is one of the best indie games I've played by far. The amount of hours you can get out of this game, the attention to detail in every part of the map and gameplay, gorgeous pixel art, and beautiful soundtrack all to boot! After 12 hours, I can confidently say that the ability to explore remains consistent and the gameplay continues to hold strong. Currently as of writing this review, I am barely at the halfway point. It's not a frustrating game at all, and you can go at your own pace. The robust accessibility options are also a big plus; something rarely, if not ever seen, in most games. The dev has done a phenomenal job. The love and care seeps through every part of this game. Rarely can I say that a game is truly worth it's full price. Thank you dev for for bringing such a extraordinary art piece into the world. You truly encapsulated the feeling of a cozy witch game. This is everything I imagined and more. TLDR; This is one of those gems you don't want to miss out on.

A lovely little cozy game... that has its not-so-cozy issues. I've never gotten into cozy, simulator games before, but when I played the demo for Magical Delicacy, I was hooked! It hits different, in a great way - exploration, some challenge to figuring out recipes and jump puzzles, as well as cute character interaction. There is a LOT to enjoy here: experimenting with recipes, beautiful art style, pleasant music, cute story, and a sense of pride in your budding witchy business, all while the game doesn't over-simplify or hand everything to you on a silver platter. ... But, it wouldn't hurt for it to hand just a biiiiit more to you. The biggest issues that make this game a 4 versus 5 stars are technical and tedious. You're a magical witch in a magical land, (supposed to be) enjoying gathering exciting new materials with which (hah) to cook with! But, you're tethered to constantly traveling back to your homestead to deposit ingredients from your very limited backpack space, into your very limited storage, in order to make the limited window of time for which you can sell dishes, of which you can only sell 3 at a time and you MUST stay at your home to do so. Needless to say, it makes things more stressful and frustrating than enjoyable. I could go on, but TLDR; The Pros: - Wonderful pixel art - Some fun jump puzzles - Rewarding exploration - Cute character interactions - Fun, experimental cooking mechanics The Cons: - Restrictively limited storage space - Not so fast "fast" travel - Tedious resource management (made worse by the limited storage space) - No Notes / Conversation log with which to track success-dependent information - When standing on steps, you can't access your map - Illogical map restrictions - Occasional bugs that require reloading / closing game and re-starting All in all, I really do like this game, and I want to love it so badly, as it has so much going for it - but is it worth being stressed just to get to the comfy parts? I don't know yet. I really hope the Devs out there are listening - you have a GREAT idea, and a very pretty package with fun content on your hands. It just needs some platform tweaking, so it can truly be what it presents itself as - as cozy game~
