Welcome to Kit•tea Cat•fe

Teas are versatile.
They can be combined, steamed, boiled, stewed, blended and served in many unique and delicious ways.
Tea also brings people together, over greetings, meetings, casual interactions, ceremonies, or early mornings.
Going back centuries, hot drinks mixed with herbs and spices have been mentioned and enjoyed.

Your goal in this journaling adventure is to have at least one of every patron type enter your cafe.
Once at least one of every type has visited, you can close up shop.
Each patron brings a special type of payment, which you can use to make unique drinks.

You start with one cat host, and earn up to 12 (one per chapter) along the story's progress.
A new cat's stat matches the patron that just visited, and they can carry physical qualities similar to that patron's payment.
Cats are lucky, so if a patron leaves and you have a cat already that matches that patron's stat, you will receive double the payment.
If you decide there are too many cats with one stat type, the current patron may decide to adopt one. (-1 cat)

Thank you!
I’ve been tweaking this for a long time as like a “side quest” type thing.
Now I need to get back into GTM!

I can’t wait to see what you come up with.
I’m sure it’ll be amazing biggrin
