Our take on The Boba Teashop
The defining detail is the contrast between a straightforward boba-serving routine and visions, strange sounds, and psychological horror inside the shop.
What is The Boba Teashop?
Manage a boba tea business through Risa, a woman in her 30s who leaves her corporate career to follow a longtime ambition.
Welcome visitors, record their orders, mix drinks with tea and tapioca pearls, close each cup, provide a straw, and hand over the finished beverage. Certain patrons demand custom preparations, while others leave clutter in the store. During the daily work, strange visions and unexplained noises begin to suggest that the shop may be occupied by something unseen. The experience blends a straightforward serving routine with unsettling incidents, sudden frightening moments, a VHS-inspired screen effect, and a psychological story about Risa’s path toward running a thriving tea shop. New menu choices can be introduced to draw additional customers.
