Short description
In a world moving too fast, your little tea shop is a quiet corner where people can slow down, sip something warm (or bitter!), and maybe heal a bit — body and soul.
About this game
Game Discussion & Bug Reports Herb Tea King Herb Tea King is a simulation-adventure game set in 1990s Guangdong (Lingnan region, including Hong Kong and Macau). You play as Sung , a chubby young man from Northern China who travels south to work at a long-established herbal tea shop. As Sung, you’ll assist your master in brewing herbal tea, preparing medicinal ingredients, serving customers, and navigating the lively neighborhood streets — solving humorous incidents caused by traditional Chinese medicine symptoms such as “internal heat” or “excess dampness.” Genre A narrative-driven experience focused on story progression and light environmental puzzle interaction, complemented by light simulation and management elements. While working at the herbal tea shop, you’ll meet four mischievous little spirits representing Dampness, Heat, Cold, and Toxin , and gradually uncover the hidden past of your master. Each bowl of herbal tea you brew may unfold a warm — and sometimes mysterious — Lingnan street legend. Learn Traditional Chinese Herbs Familiarize yourself with authentic Chinese medicinal herbs such as chrysanthemum, honeysuckle, licorice root , and more. Based on customers’ symptoms (Dampness, Heat, Cold, and Toxin attributes), you’ll combine the correct herbal properties to create the perfect herbal tea formula. GUANGDONG Architecture & Neighborhood Stories Herb Tea King features around 50 NPCs , each designed with distinctive 1990s Lingnan characteristics. Most characters have their own short, heartwarming, or humorous side stories. The game includes a wide variety of hand-drawn indoor and outdoor environments inspired by 1990s Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macau architecture — crafted to evoke a shared sense of nostalgia. Hand-Drawn Frame-by-Frame Animation The game features multiple hand-drawn, frame-by-frame cutscenes. Watching these small animated moments can be a relaxing experience on their own. In this city, everyone is busy chasing a living. The herbal tea shop may be just a small corner on the street — But the tea you brew might be what allows someone to slow down, and finally catch their breath.
