About This Game

Story 

In a quiet English town, Ms. Meadows runs a cozy tea boutique. Once an accomplished journalist, she used her modest savings to open the shop. With no family and a few customers, Ms. Meadows fills her days listening to the stories of those willing to share. Each night, inspired by her encounters at the tea shop, Ms. Meadows writes her latest poem, after the nurse arrives to administer her medication.

Sips and Sonnets lets you:

  • Be a nice old lady. The "nice" part is not optional.

  • Make a variety of teas. Learn more about each kind of tea as you play!

  • Chat up customers from all walks of life.

  • Draw inspiration from your daily interactions with your clientele to write your latest poem!


  • Your choices matter! Choose wisely and see all multiple endings! 

What to Expect:

  • Fully voiced acted with talents from Baldur's Gate 3 (Bethan Dixon Bate) and Disco Elysium (Lenval Brown). 

  • About 2-4 hours of gameplay. 

  • Multiple endings.

  • Several minigames. 

  • Original soundtrack. 

Inspired by our personal experiences with local tea shops across the United Kingdom, as well as countless wholesome interactions with kind and wise role models in our lives, this heartfelt visual novel tells a side less told, of a life well lived, and a youth come and gone.

Sips and Sonnets is brought to you by Blue Tango Street, the same team that gave you the brief and humble experience of Backspace Backspace Backspace. This visual novel was made possible thanks to collaborating with a group of talented artists!
