I'm clearly in the minority here but I didn't like this game. I love cozy games but the character walks too slowly, the puzzles are too easy, the characters are dull, and you have to walk slowly across multiple screens to access your map. As a game for 8 to 10 year olds, I'd give it five stars. As a game for adults, it's boring and there are a few basic game mechanic issues. I bought it steeply discounted and I …

I think Teacup is a very lovely and cozy game with art that looks like a fairy tale picture book. In the game, you play as Teacup, a shy character who is preparing for a tea party but realizes she has no tea ingredients. So she goes on a calm little adventure in a place called Little Pond to find herbs and tea items. Along the way, she meets many friendly forest-like characters who help her, but only after she does …

Teacup is such a cute game, I definitely recommend it, especially if you can find it on sale, as it's quite a short game. I finished it in 90 minutes, but thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved the simple mini-games, and the wholesome story line <3 The art style is so cute and creative, and the characters are lovable and unique. I especially loved how they interacted with Teacup and knew her personality so well :3 Really …

This short game is very wholesome, comforting and has gained a special place in my heart. The art style is so pretty, the music is nice and peaceful, and I enjoyed talking to all the characters present in our wee adventure; I also really liked all the mini-games. And Teacup is an adorable frog. I'm not gonna lie, I got emotional and cried when I saw Thea, Teacup's grandma, cause she reminded me so much of my grandma …

I got this a couple of years ago, as part of the "Safe in our World" charity bundle supporting mental health, a great cause. Truthfully, it's not something I would've bought on its own. And since it was sitting in my library since then, I gave it a go today. Visually, the game is lovely. It has an artsy, storybook aesthetic that’s clearly crafted with so much love. I dunno, you can kinda feel the love that went into …

94% of the 197 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Teacup. The complaint that keeps coming up: game is very short, often under two hours. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

The whole game is short and the artwork is exactly like you see it on the store page. I've liked most mini-games but didn't enjoy the actual tea party very much. I'd still recommend it for a cosy afternoon with a nice cup of tea.

You get to explore, meet cute animal characters, help them out and enjoy a few simple puzzles and minigames along the way. You can do things in your own order, which makes the progression feel relaxed and non-linear. I absolutely loved it! It's short but so cozy. ♡ The art has that beautiful, hand-drawn fairy-tale look, and the music is just as cute, making…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Teacup is a delightful, short indie game with beautiful visuals and a feel-good story. Personally, I did not find the story progression to be very non-linear because there is a chain reaction needed to reach many of the areas and characters, but the game was lovely enough that backtracking was not frustrating. A diverse cast of quirky characters, stunning art style, wonderful soundtrack, and adorable premise made this a very enjoyable experience. If you want to support a small studio, love tea,…

positive · AI labelView post →What an absolutely lovely little game! The premise is simple but so cosy and charming. The art style is adorable and I really enjoyed all the quirky dialogue from the different characters. It’s quite a short game, but perfect for a lazy afternoon with a cuppa (tea is mandatory while playing this one lol). I’d honestly love a sequel - I wasn’t ready for it to end! I’d definitely recommend it to anyone wanting a wholesome, feel-good narrative experience! 10/10 ♡︎

positive · AI labelView post →its a cute art style and suiting premise but the gameplay is lackluster, i really want to like this game!! but everything feels so painfully slow, you are locked from imputs for ages, travel is slow and finding the exit of areas is janky, i found myself wishing there was a skip all dialogue button just to get through it faster

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short, cozy and cute. Lovely art style and music. Controls are rather clunky, though, and the mini games are a bit boring. Really annoying that there's no button to open the map. You can only brew tea at the very end of the game, which seems like a bit of a waste. I'd recommend it if there's a good sale, but don't expect too much from it.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I connected with this game a strange amount. I think it’s a combination of growing up on cozy kids shows like Franklin and Little Bear, which this game reminds me so much of, and connecting to our protagonist a lot in having a special interest so important. The perfect game to cozy up with on a rainy day.

I loved learning about tea types and gathering them. The artistic style is so unique yet pretty that I stopped to just stare at the landscape, it looked like a fairytale book. I appreciate that all the mini games were different and I quite liked the overall story. I would love another game or DLC because it was so cute!

Sometimes I was a little lost as to what I should do next or how to navigate the layout of a particular area. It would be nice if there was a system that kept notes or a to-do list in case you have to step away and don't remember where you were headed.

The characters in this game are drawn and shown in such a way that helps their personalities shine, even if they are just passing NPCs to have a quick chat with. The story line of adventuring into town to look for different teas is a sweet little tale of someone experiencing their town in a new way. All of the townsfolk are all kind to Teacup, even though the dialogue we get tells us that she doesn't seem to leave her house that…

I wasn't sure what to expect of it but I absolutely ADORE the story, art and atmosphere. It's relaxing, the mini-games are fun and the side cast is lovely. I also love how they encourage Teacup to be herself and not give up on her little quest. Teacup is super lovable and cute!! I love her little hat and dress, very simple but pretty design. <3 Also the game is three cups of tea long :)
