Tea witch simulator Loose Leaf announced for PC
An occult sandbox game about brewing tea and reading tarot cards.
Boyfriend Dungeon developer Kitfox Games has announced Loose Leaf, an occult sandbox game about brewing tea and reading tarot cards coming to PC via Steam. A release date was not announced.
“My mother read tarot for friends when I was a kid, and she would only take silver for payment, joking she was a witch,” said Kitfox Games creative director and co-founder Tanya Fox in a press release. “Then I started reading tarot myself as an adult, for fun. When some of the Kitfox artists told me they wanted to make a game about tea-brewing, and we started talking about witches, I knew we could follow our hearts and make something really unique and true to ourselves.”
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
About
Different teas need different times to be perfectly steeped, or else they’ll become bitter. Making a cup of chamomile tea may be easy, but can you perfectly serve a cup of matcha? What even goes in a Lady Grey Latte? What are the flavor profiles of blood? What pairs well with eye of newt?
Befriend or Counsel Your Regulars
Customers can open up to you, asking for guidance in their next course of action. Read their cards, but more importantly, listen and help them find what they need, here in this safe pocket of a dark world. Telling someone what they want to hear is not always the best choice in the long run.
A Growing Collection
Follow the clues to learn more about your ingredients and mysterious tools left by the previous tea master, and fill in your journal. By brewing more recipes and reading the cards, you’ll be better-able to fulfill requests and figure out what kind of witch you really are… a helpful healer? A mischievous warlock? An ominous doomsayer? Something else entirely?
