the art and character designs are so good. the endings were so interesting it feels like a prequel to a much potentially longer story (edit: just read the postmortem, it really was a prequel!)
really cute and sweet, I still think about them after playing I really loved their dynamic. I know the sunshine-grump duo isn't new but the way you wrote them felt really fresh
Just wanted to drop by and let you know that I'm really enjoying this solo RPG!
I'm still in the freshly brewed era with my first infuser and I'm already having such a blast!
I like how the set-up is very minimal and quick while having enough structure with the prompts that I won't feel lost with thinking about what happens next.
Something that usually bogs me down with solo RPG's is when I feel pressured (mostly my personality's fault) to research a historical setting or set-up this elaborate worldbuilding first before being able to jump in. But here, because the scope of a teapot's perspective is so limited, I can get away with not knowing the full details of the world the teapot is in.
And it's so fun! I hope you don't mind my chattiness but I just want to share how with my teapot, its creator is an alchemist who wanted to see the connection between the plant's origin and how its soil and climate affect its magical properties in tea brewing. So figuring that out was their crowning achievement. And for the sake of controlling variables, they painstakingly used the same teapot for every treatment in all their experiments, which gave the teapot such a huge wealth of knowledge.
Anyway, this alchemist's discovery made their empire prosperous, which attracted enemies from neighboring territories, causing a war to eventually erupt where the alchemist's children were drafted giving us our next infuser: the war veteran that inherited the teapot from their dear parent.
I stopped there for now because I needed to take a break but given that this is the first solo RPG I've played after literal years, I was surprised at how elaborate the plot can go and I was only beginning!
the characters were all written so well and the VAs are so good!!
I thought this game was just all about the smut but there were so many feelings and wholesome moments that I found myself actually getting invested with the plot and the burgeoning romance between Danya and Brahve :00
Alsoo the interactions with Juniper were so sweet their friendship is so cutee
Also the art!! I love everyone's character designs too!
to the recent string of entitled comments (thankfully not all were such). this game is being provided FOR FREE and made from the dev's own free will and motivation.
I don't think those type of comments will motivate them to actually continue the story. I know we all loved what was up so far, but they're not obligated to give us anything. Let them decide what to do with it and if they choose to return, let them do it at their own time.
I'm not saying to not leave a comment--I'm sure the dev appreciates them, but at least be more mindful about it?? This is the game page go rant somewhere else
really fun! I really wished it went the poly route since there was banter between the 3 of them during the dinner but I understand that the twins being related made that uncomfy for the dev
really enjoyed this!! I didn't expect to get so much content out of it (took me an entire afternoon)
I think it's really great that you also get such wholesome interactions with the side characters. I got attached to them even though usually I just focus on the LI
(also as much as I liked sweet Mitra, my fav was Reksa even though all he did was hiss lmfaoo💀)
great VAs, pretty art style. and the writing and dialogue!!! mwah ang galing how in just a short time, na-establish and maa-attach ka agad sa histories nila
omg omg omgg didn't expect a reply so soon! tysmmm <33 (i really appreciateee esp since i felt a bit weird disclosing my stuff but i also didn't want you to think that I feel entitled to community copies or smthgg sksksskskk)
hope you have a good day! and I'm looking forward to your next works 🙆🙆
Oh I just realized that there are an overwhelming amount of titles so here's some of the more mindship-centric free short stories! I hope you don't mind the rambling 🥲
Heyy, the premise is really exciting, is it ok to ask for a community copy? This broke college person recently got diagnosed with cancer of all things and so is currently stuck at home with nothing but time to play indoors.

Also, not sure if you're familiar with her but this reminded me of Aliette de Bodard's Xuya universe!! (a series of space opera short stories where space ships are sentient and are naturally part of the family given that they're mainly based on Asian cultures).
Jace/Adrian was so cuteeee!! It checks all the boxes for my favorite tropes (both are oblivious and the energetic/reserved duo and brat/acts-of-service-babygirl dynamic). I can't play any other routes now
Also, Jace and Hazel's sibling interactions and dynamic were so realistic and fun
(played through Steam but can't help but also leave a comment here)
really really cute!! Kisha is so hot and sweet, the 3rd route is quite fun, but they can't compare with how cute Sol was!! He's so fun to tease lmfaoo 😭😭
Great job for creating such distinct voices and characters for such a short story!
Being able to establish a character such as a childhood friend with lots of prior history such that the audience will also feel the feels is no easy feat!!
Also the art is very cute, my fav was the colors on that public market background
It's been like, months since I last played this and I still think of it with so much fondness from time to time. This felt so hopeful and I love how the way the characters were written felt human instead of having their LGBTQIA+ identity as their only identity. Also, the art was so cute!!!
It was all so cute and wholesome I loved all the routes except the ones where one got neglected :((.
The writing was so good that making the choices to go that route and seeing it unfold made me feel really sad and guilty. I swear, while watching the confrontation all that was running in my mind was, "omggg I just ruined a great friendship why did I do this :((" so great job!!
