The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We want to involve our community early in the development of The Last Cup of Chai and use player feedback to refine the game's multiplayer experience. Early Access will allow us to test gameplay, balance, matchmaking, and new features with players while continuing to develop and expand the game based on community feedback.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently expect The Last Cup of Chai to remain in Early Access for approximately 6 to 12 months. The exact duration may change depending on player feedback and the development of planned features.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version contains the core multiplayer gameplay of The Last Cup of Chai. Players can participate in multiplayer matches, use cards to gather information and manipulate cups, interact with other players through bluffing and table talk, and make the final choice between drinking a cup or spilling it.

During Early Access, we plan to expand the game with additional content, gameplay features, balancing improvements, and further polish. We also plan to improve the multiplayer experience based on player feedback and testing. The exact scope of future additions may change as development continues and we learn from the community.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current Early Access version contains the core multiplayer gameplay of The Last Cup of Chai. Players can participate in multiplayer matches and interact with other players through bluffing and table talk.

The current version includes the core cup and poison mechanics, player lives, card-based gameplay, information gathering, cup manipulation, and the final decision between drinking a cup or spilling it.

Players can currently experience the complete core gameplay loop in multiplayer matches. The current Early Access build represents the playable foundation of the game, while additional content, balancing, improvements, and polish will continue to be developed during Early Access.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to gradually increase the price as we add new content and features during Early Access. Players who purchase the game during Early Access will receive the full version when it officially launches.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community feedback will be an important part of our development process. We will listen to player feedback through Steam Discussions, community channels, playtests, and other feedback channels. We will use this feedback to identify issues, improve balance, refine the multiplayer experience, and prioritize future content and features. We will also communicate major updates and development changes with the community throughout Early Access.”

About This Game

THE LAST CUP OF CHAI is a chaotic multiplayer bluffing and strategy game where every cup could be your last.

You know how many poisoned cups are on the table. You just don't know which ones.

Play with your friends, gather information, manipulate cups, steal cards, bluff, lie, and try to figure out who knows what. Every turn gives you a chance to change the situation before you're forced to make the biggest decision: drink the cup or spill the tea.

Know the Odds. Never Know the Cup.

At the beginning of a round, everyone knows the number of poisoned cups in play, but their locations remain hidden. As players interact with the table, information changes and uncertainty grows.

Someone might tell you a cup is safe because they actually know.

Or because they want you to drink it.

Play Your Cards. Play Your Friends.

Cards let you manipulate the game and disrupt your opponents.

  • Peek — secretly check what's inside a cup.

  • Steal Card — take a random card from another player.

  • Swap Hands — exchange your hand with another player.

  • Assassin's Teapot — add poison or antidote to a cup.

  • Invert Effect — turn a safe situation into a dangerous one.

  • Reverse Direction — change the turn order.

  • Specific Skip — skip another player's turn.

  • Spill Tea — remove a cup without drinking it.

Every card can change what everyone thought they knew.

Bluff, Lie, And Read Your Friends

Table talk is part of the game.

Tell the truth. Make a convincing lie. Pretend you know something you don't. Convince another player that a dangerous cup is perfectly safe.

The cards matter, but knowing when to trust someone can matter even more.

Drink Or Spill The Tea

When your turn reaches its final decision, you have two choices.

DRINK

Choose a cup and take your chances. A safe cup keeps you alive. A poisoned cup costs a life, while an antidote can protect you from poison.

SPILL TEA

Not feeling lucky? Remove a cup from the table instead. You stay safe, but removing that cup changes the information and odds for everyone else.

Eventually, somebody has to drink.

Chaos Is Always One Card Away

The table can change when you least expect it.

Events such as Street Cat, Power Cut, and Too Much Ginger can disrupt your plans, shuffle the situation, or take away your carefully gathered information.

No strategy stays safe for long.

Survive. Come Back. Win.

Players begin with 3 lives. Lose them all and you're eliminated from the current round in Standard Mode.

Extra Life cards can bring players back, while stealing cards, swapping hands, and manipulating cups can completely turn a match around.

Choose How You Play

STANDARD MODE

The classic elimination mode. Lose all your lives and you're out.

Last player standing wins.

PARTY MODE

Play across a fixed number of rounds while keeping everyone involved.

The player with the most lives at the end wins.

A Chai Stall Full Of Chaos

Set around a lively South Asian chai stall, The Last Cup of Chai combines social bluffing with a colorful, character-driven setting.

Expect:

  • A bustling chai-stall environment

  • Mischievous characters

  • A chaotic street cat

  • Comedic events and animations

  • Dramatic drinking and reveal moments

  • Plenty of opportunities to blame your friends

The rules are easy to understand. The decisions are not.

Gather your friends.

Watch the cups.

Watch the players.

And when someone says, "Trust me. This cup is safe."

The real question is:

Will you believe them?
