- Major Update 1.3. Now Available - 18 December 2025
Hey Friends, The third major update finally brings complete mouse support to the user interface of Magical Delicacy.

Right click on items to see available actions.Let me know if there is any functionality you feel like is missing. Please use the discussion board to voice feedback: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2231190/discussions/0/690870129357066799/I hope this new functionality can make your stay in the world of Magical Delicacy more accessible and enjoyable.Delivery, ahoy!

- Major Update 1.1 Now Available - 8 November 2024
Hey Friends, This is the first of a few planned updates that will improve the gameplay of Magical Delicacy and address some concerns and frustration. The idea of the game was always to be very unguided and explorative, and while that's loved by some, I realize that there are still some opportunities to make the game even more cozy and relaxing. Take a look at the new features awaiting you in Magical Delicacy: New Field Guide The new field guide page in Flora's Grimoire keeps track of all ingredients you have discovered, including all their variants once created and ways to acquire or purchase them. A Field Guide Keepsake has been added and can be purchased from Sana. Once purchased, it will unlock the Field Guide page in the Grimoire (main inventory) and allow you to view all discovered ingredients. The Field Guide also tracks used and planted ingredients, which helps to get that last a…
- Minor Update #1 - 24 July 2024
Hey there, Thank you all for actively engaging in discussions around the game or even streaming your first steps in Grat! I’ve enjoyed hearing your thoughts on the game, seeing how many of you are enjoying this magical witchy world, and listening to your feedback. With that in mind, today, I’ve released the first small patch, which includes some balancing, first quality-of-life additions, and a few bug fixes. You’ve explored the most secret corners of Grat and carefully collected many ingredients. For those of us who don’t want to be caught without the ingredients we need when we need them, it can be hard to part with them. Therefore, with increased storage capacities, you may feel free to hoard your ingredients like a dragon! However, there is still a limit, so you may want to sometimes take a step back before stocking your shelves and ask yourself, “does this ingredient spark joy?” I’…
- Cozy cooking adventure Magical Delicacy is super sweet but not quite as filling as I hoped - 18 July 2024
The cute little icebreaker "which game world would you want to live in?" always stumps me. I wouldn't want to live in Thedas or Tamriel and honestly I'm not sure if there'd be anything enticing about Pelican Town of Stardew Valley if I didn't also get the free and clear deed to a farm to go with it. From now on, I'll say I want to live in Grat, the cozy seaside city of Magical Delicacy where feline princesses and amphibian administrators commission canapés from witches... Read more.

- Magical Delicacy is part of Metroidvania Fusion - 4 March 2024
Dear friends, From March 04. - 11. you can find Magical Delicacy amongst many other great Metroidvania games in the Metroidvania Fusion event: Metroidvania Fusion Check out the event for great sales, demos, and an overview of upcoming games! Now, let's be real for a minute. Is Magical Delicacy a Metroidvania? Surely it can't be without any fighting or big boss encounters? An essential part for me in a Metroidvania is the way you explore and access new parts of the map, so I set out to combine this part of the genre with the gameplay of cooking and cozy games. Despite the lack of fighting, I'm sure you'll see many similarities in how you progress through its world when it comes out later this year. You'll visit a densely packed town with people to meet and make delicious food for. Find new merchants to unlock new ways to cook or harvest ingredients throughout the nooks and crannies of th…
