Wylde Flowers is a 2.5D farming and life sim with a touch of magic. Literally.

You play as Tara Wylde, a woman who, having spent her childhood in the town of Fairhaven and moved to "the city", is now returning home to look after her grandmother.

As you explore the town of Fairhaven after arriving at the dock, you'll find the only flag flying over the mayor's office is a pride flag, and you know this is a queer little game.

As you meet the fine folks of Fairhaven, more than one mystery starts to unfold, and one of these is the discovery that your grandmother is a witch... as are you.

I actually knew something about the game before I started it; I knew it was from a Melbourne-based dev team.

It's why I was a bit taken aback when the entire voice cast appears to be American. Not that there's anything wrong with that, it was just a little unexpected.

It was getting very late when I departed Fairhaven, and I'm looking forward to going back.

Wylde Flowers is:

For learning purposes, I'm exploring how long I will continue to play #WyldeFlowers after the main storyline is completed. But to fully do so, I need to break up with a character, and the emotional connection this game has made me feel to that character is inspiring. I don't want to do it! But I DO want to be able to recreate this feeling in the games I will create.

Never thought I'd be baffled by a base management game. The only thing lacking is a bipoc PC. #gamedev #gamenarrative #gamewriting
