Steam reviews

What players say

Players mostly recommend this cute tea-cafe visual novel for its bittersweet story about grief and loss, though some find it too sad or too thin on gameplay.

Many players praise the pixel art, the calm soundtrack and the tea-blending mechanic, which they describe as a quiet, ASMR-like ritual. The emotional story is the main draw: it deals with loss and grief in a post-pandemic town, and many reviewers say it moved them to tears, some of them reflecting on their own losses. Some players say the gameplay is thin and that it is mostly a visual novel, with the tea-making serving the narrative. Some criticise repetitive dialogue, abrupt endings, requests for ingredients you do not have, and a too-gentle politeness in the characters. A few warn that the cozy marketing hides a dark story, and one reviewer found the later stretch dragging. Recent reviews do not differ noticeably from the older helpful ones.

Praised

  • Emotional story

    Players are moved by the bittersweet story about grief, dying and saying goodbye, many reporting tears.

    Many players
  • Pixel art and cute design

    The pixel art, character animations and kemonomimi designs are repeatedly called cute, charming and beautiful.

    Many players
  • Soundtrack and atmosphere

    Players praise the calm lo-fi soundtrack and the cozy, soothing atmosphere, with the ASMR tea-pouring sounds.

    Many players
  • Tea-blending gameplay

    Mixing tea blends and herbs to match customer requests is seen as a relaxing, satisfying mechanic, though simple.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Thin gameplay

    Reviewers say it is mostly a visual novel, with the tea-making too simple and not really affecting the story.

    Many players
  • Too sad or dragging

    Players find the story gloomier than advertised or the later middle section slow, and not all find the payoff worth it.

    Some players
  • Repetitive or stiff dialogue

    Players find the dialogue repetitive, overly polite even in arguments, or cringey, and a few endings end abruptly.

    Some players
  • Requests you cannot fill

    Customer orders often call for ingredients you do not have, which some find frustrating.

    A few players
Who it suits
Players who want an emotional, tearjerking visual novel with cute art and a melancholy story will get the most out of it.
Who should skip it
Players wanting a relaxed cozy game or a deep tea-cafe management sim should skip it, as the story is much sadder than its cute look suggests.
