This is such a wholesome adventure game! It gives me "Clico" vibes, another amazing game from the publisher "Whitethorn".
You play as Teacup, who will have a nice tea party the next day.. but then you discover you're out of tea! And you want to have a lot of varieties of wonderful flavored tea for your friends to really enjoy the tea party. So you're going on an adventure to find all different types of tea and during this adventure, you'll explore the town and the area's around it and meet a lot of nice people.
The game consists of mostly walking around and talking with people, and play a variety of different puzzles and mini-games. None of them are too hard. For the puzzles, you can get hints if you take too long and I don't think you can really fail during the other mini-games. When I made a mistake in them I got a new shot to try and do it again, not even the whole game, but just that small part in which I made the mistake. It is nice that this game mostly focuses on a wholesome story and doesn't want to stress you out at any time.
The game has a few minor cons, but they are really minor in my opinion:
- It can be played with a controller, but it will not show the controller buttons in the game when you play with one.. so for those that also want to play with a controller:
A; Interact
X: Tea book
RB: Run
- This game doesn't have any settings in the game, so you can't change the screen resolution or remap any controllers or anything like that.
- The last part of the story where you make tea for your friends doesn't contain an achievement, which feels a little bit like a missed opportunity since that part is so sweet. I want a teapot like Teacup has! An elephant with flapping ears when the tea is ready.
For the achievements, you don't have to worry about them for the most part, except for one they are all part of the story while collecting the different tea flavors. There is only one missable if you don't talk with a specific person (or two) in the kite field area, but I expect most people to get this one easily since talking with all the different people and hearing their stories is what you do all the time in this game.
