✾❃ ♛ ❈֍ Seven days to steep the kingdom’s tea,
Hands in soil, no time to flee.
Creatures crawl where leaves should grow,
Each one blocks what you must sow.
Trust the witch, or trust your hand,
For tea decides the fate of the land. ❈֍ ♛ ✾❃

About the Game

7 Days to Tea is a whimsical management game of care and consequence, where thou playest as a princess tasked with preparing tea for a royal tea party in but seven days. Where false comforts abound, patience is tested, and in the end, the tea revealeth all.

Gameplay

Each day, thou must tend the palace tea garden by watering and fertilizing its plots. Fail thy daily duties, and coin shall quietly slip from thy purse, for time and care brook no neglect.

Yet the garden knoweth no peace. With each passing day, creatures wander forth and perch upon the tea beds, barring thy hand from its work. Each beast brings its own mischief: some are heavier to move, some blind the eye, and others cling close and slow thy steps. As the days wane, their numbers and nuisance grow.

The Witch’s Wares

When night falleth, the witch Pieren appeareth, bearing wares most curious. Her goods promise aid, yet oft deliver trouble instead. Spend thy hard-earned coin wisely, for not all remedies are as they seem.

Seven Days to Decide Thy Fate

The tale unfoldeth across seven days of rising chaos. Gather enough tea leaves, and the royal tea party shall prosper. Fail, and the celebration shall be lost, along with thy noble standing.
