It all begins when you receive a letter from a distant aunt informing you of your inheritance of her tearoom...

My Dear Distant Relation, 

If you are reading this, I am dead. The ownership of my tearoom is now transferred to you. As the new proprietor, you are responsible for tending to your customers’ needs. Sometimes that might be a strawberry vanilla tartlet with a cup of lavender Earl Grey tea. Other times, they might need something more…

Your customers rely on you to achieve their goals, keep their secrets, satisfy their cravings. Of course, who and how you help is up to your discretion, but do be careful… Every decision you make isn’t without consequences 

Sincerely, 

Your Equally Distant Most Likely Murdered Aunt

P.S. Yes, it is most likely I was murdered by someone in the town. I suspect you may befall a similar fate, lest you can discover my murderer by Hallowe’en.

Serve your customers their daily cuppa and treat at The Tearoom, but be aware… Sometimes you may be asked to provide morally questionable assistance to accomplish their dubious deeds.

• Blend & Bake: Customers want their cup of tea accompanied by the perfect bite. Combine ingredients to discover a variety of recipes that, if served correctly, can unlock secrets, lead customers down a dark path, or, in rare cases, kill them. 

• Support or Thwart: Will you help your customers poison their enemies? Scare off their governess? Gather sacrificial offerings to save the town from DOOM?! The choice is yours, but be warned, for so are the consequences. 

• Build Your Collection: When your aunt passed, her “special collection” of ingredients disappeared. Now, with the aid of the townsfolk, you must rebuild it while avoiding the suspicion of the new police officer in town.

• Be Cordial & Immoral: This town is inhabited by those who consider themselves of the odd and macabre. Leave your preconceived notion of what is “moral” behind, make friends, enemies, and have a rendezvous if that suits you.

• But also... Trust No One: Death is not often questioned in this town. However, with The Police Officer’s arrival to investigate your aunt’s murder, the townsfolk sense someone wants to change their ways. Uncover your aunt’s murderer, and perhaps you’ll find the informant too.

These are but a handful of whom you’ll meet, serve, and terrorize…

An heiress who never leaves her estate without her stiletto, a hanged one who sees everything from a unique perspective, an opera singer tarnished by an experimental record, and a governess who must save the children…!

But as you can see, there are many more. In fact, there are more than the 13 customers depicted here!

Every year, The Dowager hosts a grand ball that showcases the artistic, scientific, and terrorific accomplishments of the town for Hallowe’en. The townsfolk put considerable effort into the preparations for the ball, and in doing so, the weeks leading up to the big event are often more… unprincipled… than usual. As proprietor, you are now part of the Hallowe’en tradition and play a key role in deciding the fate of the ball. In fact, there are rumblings that the mayor may be hosting a competing event this year. 

Choose sides wisely, Proprietor!
