“It's just okay. Not terrible, but not amazing either. The mechanics are fairly simple and easy to follow. You can probably beat the game in 30 minutes to an hour. My playtime is higher cause I did an additional 3…”
“Peak Story. Peak Soundtrack. Peak animation. Peak gameplay. Absolute Cinema”
“The Boba Teashop is a great short horror game. It actually made me jump a few times. I really love the concept and that it can be completed in one sitting, just how I like it. Definitely would recommend to anyone.”

“The game is about opening and running your own boba tea shop, but it’s also a small horror game! During the night shift, things get weird. Strange noises echo when no one is around, shadows move where they shouldn’t,…”

“It's a cozy little horror games, some of the scares got me and i wasn't expecting the ending to turn out like it did, I do wish it had a mode where you could take on a constant stream of orders similar to Kiosk. The…”

“I think the dev has a lot of promise, and I DEEPLY enjoyed the art design of this game, but the task of making boba never felt fully fleshed out or engaging, and I had a lot of small glitches throughout my gameplay…”
“This game caught me completely off guard. Looks cute and chill at first… like you’re just making boba and vibing. Yeah… not quite 😅 It slowly gets more unsettling the longer you play, and by the end it turns into…”

“Does enough things well to be worth recommending on sale and in a bundle, but its ending definitely comes out of nowhere logically and the time trial on that main horror section was a good idea but needed to give the…”
“Another cozy, chore, horror game akin to Kiosk. Clearly very much inspired by Kiosk (the devs should really give them a shoutout). If you enjoyed Kiosk this is up your alley. There is no endless or relaxing mode for you…”
“A quick cozy horror game about running a boba tea shop. Wish it was longer and more depth to it. Not a bad game for five bucks.”

“Very short game, but very fun, super creepy, great jumpscares and overall awesome vibes.”
“The Boba Teashop manages to earn the title of "cozy" while still being very unsettling, sell tea to the residents of an uncanny valley while things start to fall apart around you. Make orders and keep the store clean…”
“A very short but fun game with a few jump scares here and there. The only problem I have with this one is that I wish it was longer because I want to keep making drinks.”

“A few hours of fun, just enough to tell an excellent ghost/corruption story. The drinks are pretty, pretty and they're fun to make. And while you're making them, expect to see changes in your shop as the dreadful atmosphere weights on your psyche. The creators did a masterful…”
— a player, Steam review · 5 hrs played“It's one of those cozy horror games, there are hardly any jumpscares or anything particularly scary yet it's oddly relaxing. Just wish it was longer and a little more indepth.”
— a player, Steam review · 1 hrs played“I enjoyed managing my Boba teashop, really fun and spooky experience! Playtime is really short like 40min or 1hr, unless you go for 100% which might take couple of hours.”
