Our take on Teacup
This adventure replaces a fixed sequence of objectives with an ingredient hunt that can be tackled in any order. Its journey unfolds through exploration and favors for forest inhabitants, including tasks such as arranging a market stall and joining an underwater race.
What is Teacup?
Play as Teacup, a shy young frog who loves tea and reading.
The day before hosting a tea party, she discovers that she has run out of tea and sets out into the surrounding woods to find herbs for her pantry. The ingredients can be gathered in any order, so players choose their route through Little Pond. During the journey, Teacup meets forest animals with different personalities. Many are willing to help after she completes a small favor for them. Tasks include organizing an oddly shaped market stall and taking part in an underwater race. The game is a short narrative adventure focused on exploration and non-linear progression.
