VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Mice Tea [v1.0.0 Final] [Cinnamon Switch]

Easily one of the best games on this site, if not the best. Manages to make a nsfw game with charterers you deeply care about reading for, a story you want more of, a vibe that makes playing it not miserable after the fact, all without taking away from what makes a porn game a porn game.

Everyone should give this one a try. The only thing more promising than the game itself, is the fact this is the studios first of many more to come.

A truly beautiful game.

I first played Mice Tea months ago and found the idea good bu it was still too early in development and there wasn’t much to see, and then forgot about it. Only to stumble back upon it recently and the development is everything one can hope of a game.

The characters are both endearing and have depth, the sex scenes are hot and fit, and the story is interesting and engaging. In my newest play through I ended up following the ‘Sylvia Therapist’ route and found myself deeply enjoying what was once my least favorite character in the game.

Highly recommend it.

Great game, great story, sex is everything but straight. shame it's not entirely finished.
Probably the best protagonist out of any of the games one here.

the only truly good game on this website, the characters are real, the writing brings you into the insecurities and the underlying reasons behind why everyone takes the actions they do, and the sex adds to the story and writing instead of detracting from it.

This is a review of Mice Tea using v0.9.15-Early Access. Even with my short time with it at the time of this post, I could already tell that the development team really put a lot of care into the game.

First, the game is simply *adorable*! It's a nice change of pace to see something that's not based on Daz or uses pregenerated assets. It's visually appealing. These are wonderful character sprites (with various layered facial expressions and poses) that are used intelligently in the game in a psuedo-animated way as they move about the screen. Event scenes were static but nice. The dev team even took the time to make sure the UI is aesthetically pleasing as well. Those little touches in the menu and interface may be minor but helps to convey and tie-in the theme of the game. And apparently it helps people with disabilities to also better enjoy the game. (In my "fun-sized" route, pocket Margaret was simply precious! )

Secondly, the writing in Mice Tea is splendidly done! It's quite imaginative and takes into consideration what the characters may be aware of and feeling in any given situation. Some of which are things I would never have thought of myself! At times, it felt like a kinetic novel with its lack of choices, it was nevertheless quite a fun, little read. I've enjoyed it immensely. Not only that, the quality of the writing in of itself raises the bar of where other visual novels should be at. It doesn't insult you with rudimentary chickenscratch from a second grader, but rather it has a good sense of prose and diction, and uses appropriate grammar and correctly spelled words. There were very few typos and misspellings in the routes I played through. I almost cried at the realization that there were writers out there that knew how to use a bloody spellchecker. Thank you Gunzil and Zoe for leading the charge here!

Lastly, the game also includes a number of aspects that really should be in any visual novel. These extras include things such as a CG gallery and content warning (enabled under options) at important junctures in the game. It also has a built-in character viewer and even includes BGM! Super! All of these are good indicators that the game will only get better as development continues!

Mice Tea is fun and well worth your time for anyone who was curious enough to peek over the fence. Good job to the team over at Cinnamon Switch! Wishing you guys the best and hoping for more! Cheers!

This game is leagues apart from most other Ren'Py VN's. The unique art style and the quality of writing are the obvious main assets of the game. It explores multiple kinks in various ways (routes), and I'd say it feels more adult in its execution than most. While the game does not (yet) cater to my primary tastes, I will keep coming back to this.

I'm not particulary into furry shit, but i like transformation as a theme so i decided to try it. Overall i found myself pleasantly surprised and enjoyed it.

Art:
Pretty good.
There is some "work in progress" art along the way (v0.9.10 as of writing this).

Writing:
English isn't my native language, but reading through it i had no problems with it. So seems pretty good?
The pacing definitely deserves some credit here, with good spread of smut content along the way.
I completed only one path so i don't know if the other ones have deadends.

I think the only fault i had with the game was how everything was conveniently LGBT in the middle of the game. Everyone just so happens to to be either trans, gay or bi suddenly. It broke the immersion, because it should have been established earlier in the story.

Completely adorable. I've only gone through one route so far, so I can't speak to how much it differs, but I loved all of it.

More story-heavy than smutty, but they sexy bits are well done. Great use of Ren'py sprite movement to give a feeling of life to un-animated character art.
