Welcome to Pekoe!

As the newest resident and teahouse owner in town, you’ll learn everything there is to harvesting, preparing, and serving tea.

Learn new rituals and tea-making styles to make an endless combination of recipes. Build relationships with the townsfolk, and visit their teahouses to purchase exclusive teaware and ingredients.

Make tea for cats!

There are over 10 unique characters in town for you to get to know, with 7 distinct teahouses to visit, and endless tea combinations to try! Make tea in a number of different styles and teaware, and choose what to serve the townsfolk and customers (but don’t forget, they all have their own likes and dislikes!).

From Teahouse to Teahome

Starting a new life in an old teahouse can come with its own challenges, but it’s nothing a bit of fresh paint, hard work, and a few cups of tea can’t fix! Upgrade and customize your teahouse with your own choice of decor, and unlock new items from the townsfolk to help in your tea-making endeavors.

It’s always a good time for tea time!

Having tea together is more than just a drink, it’s a chance to get to spend time together– you’ll learn what tea means to others through various rituals, ceremonies, and one-on-one conversations.

From teaplant to teapot

As a town that runs on tea (literally!), you’ll be doing more than just brewing teabags. Learn when, where, and which leaves to pluck, as you go through the process of learning the different types of tea and how they’re made.

Learning Factory

Learning Factory

As a big fan of simulators (especially building-type simulators), I was excited to check this game out from the second it popped up on my gaming feed. It’s still in Early Access so it’s not quite complete, but you’ll still be able to put in quite some time to getting your factory up to tip top shape.

PROS:

  • Nothing really costs too much money, so as long as you keep your researchers busy learning new things, you can make a large factory/shops with ease.

  • Once you craft something, it’s yours forever. If you place it down, you can just pick it right back up.

Highly recommended, I bought it the moment the lovely Discord staff said it was up on Steam for sale.

Keeping in mind, this is an Early Access game, so some features will be inevitably changed, but so far, the game is so reminiscent of Factorio. Within the two hours of me playing this game, it had me do some quests that get you a little taste of the game.

Fair Warning, this game is buggy. It just got released a few hours ago. Have some faith you people.

I personally have beef with that delayed crafting bug.

Everdream Valley

Everdream Valley

Finally holidays! This summer, for the first time ever, you will spend it alone at your grandparent’s farm. Two months without mom and dad. Only you and your dog! Two months during which you have to take care of the grandparent’s farm growing plants and milking animals, well at least some of them.

You will plant, water, gather crops, and fight (sometimes for life) against pests.

You’ll need to clear nettles, build pens, and keep the animals on the farm happy.

You can sell your crops and buy or upgrade equipment with the money you earn.

However, you will not be able to do everything right away, to build a pen you need to get wood and tools first. Fish are much more cooperative when you can offer them fatter worms. Oh, and remember to talk to your grandparents often and watch for guests. You never know where the next farming mission is coming from.

From the very beginning, your dog can support you in farming tasks, for example you can use him to herd a scattered flock of sheep. But this dog, in addition to a solid bodyweight, has also a lot of character. It is up to you and your training skills whether your companion will help you or get in your way.

There is also a cat. At first, he will not be happy with the new company. It’s your job to convince him that you are a worthy ally. If you succeed, you can use him to discover new missions, hidden places, pest control, and many other tasks on the farm.

The farm is located in the Everdream Valley. You will find there a few biomes with different flora, fauna, and missions. Fields, meadows, forests, a lake, and a river are waiting for you to discover new secrets and tasks, from gathering and sometimes growing fruits and mushrooms to catching fish, collecting insects, and even building a treehouse.

After a day of running through the meadows, fighting with nettles, and sheep riding, it would be good to rest from attractions in a comfy bed. Nothing of that. While sleep will eventually come to you, it will by no means be calm.

Everdream Valley is not your ordinary valley and its residents have their own lives, plans, and secrets.

In your dreams, with the help of a magic hat, you will be able to play the role of various animals. Remember that what you do during at day and night has an impact on the farm. If you don’t fend off the wolves as a dog, you may not have anyone to build pens for when you wake up. The goals of two ducks, who seemingly do not interfere with the life of the farm, may turn out to be completely contrary to the plans of the inhabitants of the henhouse. A cat that is at most a bit cranky during the day at night may aspire to be a war criminal, and war, war never changes.

In all this confusion, there is somewhere an answer to the question of what is actually going on on this beutiful but bizarre farm. You have two months of holidays to find out the answer. One thing is for sure. This will be the most peculiar summer ever.

MewnBase

MewnBase

The Survival-Crafting polar opposite of Don’t Starve. It’s a gentle and relaxing sci-fi survival game - deaths are rare and usually only the result of overextending yourself (e.g. being away from base too long and running out of oxygen or food).

Although at this stage of development (April 2020) there isn’t much content, it’s very stable, rare bugs, with consistent, high quality art assets - it doesn’t have the rough “beta” feel of many other early access games.

Good:

  • Fairly casual/relaxing survival game, with tech tree/research based progression.

Real player with 58.3 hrs in game

MewnBase is a cool little survival crafting game about a cat.. in a space suit.. driving a buggy on another planet. What’s not to like :)

The default day/night cycle is quite relaxing to play, although you DO have to work to get food and maintain your base.

Oxygen levels drain fast once you start exploring and so is the contents of your stomach or the power levels of your suit when you enable your headlight.

While there isn’t that much to do compared to the more known games in this genre, it certainly is entertaining. Slowly expand your base, research upgrades, grow some crops and try to automate things to make life easier. By the end, you’re speeding around in a buggy, with or without additional trailers to pick up more goods.

Smintheus

Smintheus

The start of the game felt quite janky and it’s mechanics bugged me out. I especially hated how the water works since it just didn’t feel intuitive from a gameplay sense. Later on it feels its gotten better, and it has it’s fun moments from time to time. Still I felt there is a lack of real focus on what it wants to be. Maybe those who are into adventure puzzle games may enjoy it, but I was here more for the RPG aspect which felt quite lacking.

Maybe take it during a sale, as I don’t think its worth the full price.

Real player with 0.8 hrs in game

This game plays like a 2005 flash game. I’m sure the dev put $15 of effort into the game but it certainly does not feel like a $15 experience. Quit mid-way through the 3rd level.

Negatives:

  • Fairly unresponsive controls that made you feel like you were walking too far when you shouldn’t be (the game punishes you for walking into water walls which makes the unresponsive controls the more painful)

  • Graphics look like some kind of first-draft pixel art

  • Weird tutorial that has you attempt to unlock doors only to then allow you to collect keys for them?
