About the Game
In Sips and Sonnets, players step into the shoes of Miss Meadows, a retired journalist running a small tea boutique nestled in the British countryside. She brews tea for her clientele as they talk about their interesting lives.
Miss Meadows draws inspiration from their stories to write a poem for her childhood friend, Esmée. Through thoughtful conversations and heartfelt choices, players shape the story of a woman navigating solitude, aging, and the understated beauty of human connection.
Sips and Sonnets lets you:
- Be a nice old lady. The "nice" part is not optional.
- Make a variety of teas. Learn more about tea as you play!
- Chat with customers from all walks of life.
- Write a poem inspired by your customers!
- Enjoy beautiful watercolour-inspired art and an original soundtrack composed in-house.
- Immerse yourself in a fully voice-acted story.
- Your dialogue choices and minigame interactions matter! Choose wisely and see all endings!
