It’s spooky season and for those of you that are fraidy cats like me, you’ll enjoy this light witchy farming game to get you into the autumnal mood! Wylde Flowers by Studio Drydock came out last month on the Nintendo Switch, PC – Steam and Apple Arcade.
In Wylde Flowers, you’ll play through a delightful life as a farm girl but by night you’ll be mixing up potions and casting spells as a witch! You’re the new girl in this small seaside town and as you get to know yourself and the community you’re bound to make new friends. But could some of those friends be something more?
The town of Fairhaven has seven eligible bachelors and bachelorettes for you to romance. From the local butcher Kim to Amira, a flirty doctor. What’s a new life without a little love? In this guide for Wylde Flowers, we’ll go through all your romantic options as well as how to woe them.
Romantic Candidates
How To Romance Someone
In Wylde Flowers, you can become friends with the people in town by interacting with them often and/or giving them their favourite gifts. Do this with your romantic options and once their friendship/heart meter is full you’ll be able to trigger a cutscene with them and go on a date.
A couple of things to note before you decide to Don Juan the town. You can’t actually date two people at once. But if you decide you don’t like that person anymore just don’t talk to them for a week and you’ll eventually break up with them.
You can even get divorced in Wylde Flowers, leaving you free to marry someone else. If you’re a completionist you can probably get through all seven options in one play-through. All you need to do is reject your marriage partner then they ask you to dinner and you’ll start the proceedings for a divorce.
I suggest trying to date everyone as some of the partners you choose might help you break the mystery surrounding the island.

As one of the marriageable witches in your coven, sharing your witchy life with your witchy wife could be a great way to live out your days on Gramma’s old farm. When she’s not busy treating her patients, Amira finds peace in the woods and on the beach.

Damon may be a little young to own a bar, but it’s a family institution – his dad ran it before he and Damon’s mom moved back to South Africa. His mother, who was once the Fairhaven pharmacist, wanted to return to her roots as a healer. Now that Damon’s parents have moved, Lina is like his surrogate family.

Giva’s parents set her up with the most prestigious matchmaker in Mumbai. When she told them she was never interested in marrying any man, their pride was hurt. The tension was such that Giva is no longer on speaking terms with them, though they write to her in Fairhaven and want her to answer back.
She’s a curious, self-sufficient meteorologist who’s received a grant to study Fairhaven’s weather. She moves in once the bridge to the mountain pass is repaired. Giva is determined to crack the island’s secrets and she loves to comb Fairhaven for historical artefacts that might serve as clues.

Kai runs the pop-up novelties stall in the town square. When he’s not working, he’s surfing, or just relaxing. He lives an easy-come, easy-go life, which has led to a maxed-out tab at Damon’s bar.
As a child, Kai had debilitating asthma and couldn’t participate in many sports. He was determined to become a surfer anyway, and eventually went pro. Kai ended up in Fairhaven after a surfing visit left him injured. While he recovered under Amira’s care, he decided to stay and run the pop-up stall.
But Fairhaven is remote, and sometimes Kai feels cut off from the rest of the surfing world. He’s considering going back to surfing full-time. But will stay in Fairhaven with you if you decide to date/marry him.
