Delphinium

Delphinium follows Haiyan, who returns to the mountain village she once fled after her brother’s death leaves her whole world in pieces. She’s got nowhere else to go and no idea who she is without him, so she ends up back in a village of nine outcasts, all carrying their own baggage.

Farming and cooking here aren’t just busywork, they’re how Haiyan actually rebuilds her life. Planting crops, fishing the streams, cooking meals and helping neighbours all feed into deeper relationships with the villagers, and those relationships unlock new conversations, conflicts and hidden connections between characters. Every choice you make nudges the story in a different direction, whether that’s pulling people together or letting them go their own way.

With over 200 recipes to discover, furniture crafting to personalise the village, and a handful of charming minigames like fishing and cleaning, there’s plenty to sink your teeth into. But at its heart Delphinium is about Haiyan working out whether to root herself in this fragile little community or strike out and figure out who she is on her own.
