A Cup of Tea by The Egotist

Review KyuJones

Any order I chose to do things did not work - aside from one thing..
Teapot on stove, turn on.
Although turn on stove THEN place teapot did not work.
I'm not sure why only very particular routes will work, but I could never make the other items be used.

Review BeautyvsAshes

I am giving this a 4 because it took me forever to figure out how to brew the tea. *SPOILER - don't read if you don't want to know anything prior to playing* I have never used a teabag in a teapot before. I tend to save the teabags for my teacups and the tea leaves for my teapot. But still was fun. Now I want a cup of tea. How did you know my favourite was Earl Grey?! :)

Comment SasuTenLuvr

I was so close to 'winning' the game, but with my insatiable curiousity I just HAD to add arsenic to the tea. Oh, well.

Comment Supercon

I failed it :( I am a total noob

Comment Happy Grace

Good premise, but I bugged. I got to pouring the boiled water from the teapot to the teacup but it just said
You pour the
...so I don't know what happened there, cause the teacup is still empty

Review lostguitarpick

This is amazing and I love it. I laughed all the way through knowing there was arsenic. This game proves that sometimes simple is best :) I'd love to see another like this

Comment Aleah Eya Balano

How do you make the tea?! I can put anything other than water in the teapot and the stove doesn't even heat it. And when I pour the water into the teacup, it doesn't work!

Review Nate Aubin

As someone who drinks a lot of tea and plays a bunch of text games, I really enjoyed this. The one question I have: why do I have a pouch of arsenic? More specifically, why do I have a pouch of arsenic in my kitchen by the sugar? Don't get me wrong, I thought it was hilarious. But I get the feeling I'm playing as some sort of international assassin.

Review DESTRUCTINATION

I couldn't get anywhere past picking everything up and filling the teapot with water. The commands should be simple and obvious.

Review TriangleGames

It's good (and surprisingly fun), but there's a couple more things you might consider adding. Since the stove is a container object, the game let me "put teapot on stove" and simply said, "done." But since that didn't heat the water, I was quite confused. Also, I'm accustomed to putting teabags into the cup not the the pot, so that made it hard to figure out. While precise syntax is part of the tradition in text games, it's nice to try and guess what else the wily player might try, and if it's close to the right idea then at least provide a comment that hints at what they need to do differently, or if it's REALLY close just go ahead and give it the same effect. I enjoyed making my tea with/ without the arsenic and condiments, but it would be fun if the difference the milk and sugar made was expressed.

Pfft, Artemis :P Get off this site, you're too young to be here.

Review Artemis

I love it! The Egotist is my older sister :P. I think it deserves a 5 star rating! Nice game. The Frst time I played, I put arsenic in my tea on purpose lol!

Comment The Egotist

Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

Review GreyOwl

Thanks!

I like the game. It's a bit hilarious...

Comment The Egotist

I've just tested it myself. Take the teapot from the cupboard and "use sink." The teapot will fill with water.

Comment GreyOwl

It just goes like "I don't understand your command."

Comment GreyOwl

Um...it still doesn't work...

Comment The Egotist

I've just updated the game, so now you should be able to "use," "turn on," or "switch on" the "sink" or "faucet" with the empty teapot in your inventory. Sorry if that was unclear!

Comment GreyOwl

How do you fill the teapot with water???
