Tea Minus
CTRL is supposed to skip, although due to a bug the speed isn't much different than normal. It's also only like 10 minutes long though :)

Story
The story mainly follows Eira, the one running the tea house, although it's constructed more like a bar than anything. A few different customers wander in throughout the story, all with their own share of interests/problems. There may even be something linking them...

Development
This was a solo effort, and also my first time writing anything outside of engineering reports and code haha, so it is probably nothing special. It is also very short, probably not much more than 10 minutes. Lots of things I would've liked to do, but the month of the jam was a busy one.
The VN was created using Ink and Unity. A very nice asset exists allowing interaction between the two, but I still had to create the VN framework on the Unity side, so it's quite incomplete. A good start though.
To make up a bit for my lack of artistry I enlisted the use of AbundantMusic to help create the tunes, as well as Artbreeder to get some base character designs that I worked off of.

WebGL version seems to work fine, but a standalone desktop (windows) version is included too.

I'm looking through nanoRenO when I was attracted by this cover.
The head and body don't seem to match, and the head looks like it was generated from some GAN project.
Never mind, I'm just curious
I said I used that in the description lol
Well I was expecting a slice of life tea serving experience in space, not half-life experience. Got it? I think you got it. I mean "Tea Minus"?
Either way yeah as I was saying, I did expect something more slice of life, but love the sci-fi stuff going on too. What happen next to the tea shop is unknown... Love it tho.
Really good work for a solo effort, it was a fun read, seeing the different characters and all their problems seeminly linking together, for a solo game you made basically by yourself, it was really really good, i wouldn't mind seeing Eira again, wanted to know much more about her, but because the ending, could be hard, haha, but keep up the good work, i did a playthrough on it, the game actually took me 20 minutes to complete, not 10 minutes, but didn't mind the extra time to play this.
Thanks for the comment and video! Will definitely check that out in a bit, always neat to see what people think. I was worried the plot would either be too subtle or too obvious, but glad you enjoyed it! There is certainly room for more... I tried to give myself a decent base haha
Anyways, thanks!
the only thing i didn't understand was the ending, i understand everything else, but not the ending, i thought it was some kind of dream marenda had but at the same time, im not sure if her and Eira actually met, that the only thing i just don't fully understand
Okay, fair enough haha. I won't say it straight out here in the comments, but everything did happen, just perhaps not physically... (the device in that experiment is key)
ahh, okay, i understand completely than, that was my second guess, thank you! haha, i did really like everything though, especially Eiras design especially, it's very simple, but everyone elses design is more complex, this lets Eira design to be more eye catching, lol, but good job by the way, keep up the good work :)
