Wylde Flowers is a 2022 farm life sim developed and published by Studio Drydock.
It was released on February 18, 2022, for macOS as a launch title for Apple Arcade, and September 20, 2022 for Windows, and for Nintendo Switch.
There is a linear story that leads the player to interact with various community members as they discover the secrets and conflicts within the town.
The game begins with the main character, Tara, visiting her ailing grandmother Hazel on the island Fairhaven to help care for her and work at her farm.
They later steal a keystone from the town hall to access a dangerous realm called the Gloaming to search Violet's missing mother Gloria.
The witches soon recruit Francis, the owner of the town's jewelry shop, to help them deal with one of the wraiths and he eventually joins the group.
Eventually, the townsfolks learn of Otto's ulterior motives, but it is revealed that he is being forced to commit these acts by Raven.
Not knowing that what she found isn't the Wellspring's heart, she ends up being possessed by the final wraith, who was manipulating her all along, but this also frees Gloria, who reunites with Violet.
