Publisher Serenity Forge (known for releasing "To the Moon," "Doki Doki Literature Club Plus!," and "Kill the Princess") and developer CINNADEV recently announced the narrative farming simulation game "Delphinium." This heartwarming yet slightly bittersweet healing adventure is scheduled to launch on PC and Xbox platforms in 2027.
In the game, players take on the role of Haiyan, who has just experienced the highs and lows of life. She left her hometown to follow her elder brother, dedicating herself to rebuilding their home in the aftermath of war. However, with her brother's passing, the reconstruction effort also failed, and fate dragged her back to this native land. Now, Haiyan struggles amidst grief and confusion; she must rebuild the village that shelters displaced people while also重整ing her own life. Every decision will shape her future, leading her to vastly different endings. Will she stay to help the village regain its vitality, or choose to go it alone and start a new life?
In "Delphinium," every action deepens bonds with others, allowing the story to unfold gradually through the cycle of day and night. It is these emotionally charged narrative events that truly bring the world to life. Talk to villagers to learn about their pasts, unlocking new dialogues, conflicts, and choices—all of which will shape Haiyan's destiny. You can spend time completing daily tasks, tending to your vegetable garden, or fishing and cooking delicious meals to give as gifts to fellow villagers. "Delphinium" presents players with a unique emotional adventure, allowing them to explore freely within a meticulously crafted world and experience its immersive and healing gameplay loop.
