About Tearoom of Terror Demo

Your distant deceased aunt left you her tearoom, her customers, and a warning: solve her murder by Hallowe'en, or share her fate. This free demo covers the first two days running the tearoom, talking to the residents of Goreytown and exploring your new home. More than enough time to learn how a cup of tea can settle a debt, keep a secret, or dig a grave. The first two days of the full game. Open the tearoom, take your first orders, and grant your first morally questionable favours.13 of the town's 22 customers.

Encounter peculiar folk like the heiress and her faithful hound, the local farmer, the governess, the dowager, the mayor, and the police officer who's asking why your aunt *really* died. The others wait for the full game.7 ways to die. One of them is a very good boy. Incredible human-made art, music, and SFX, inspired by the gothic works of Edward Gorey, actors like Tim Curry (Rest In Power) and Danny Elfman. Blend & Bake. Combine ingredients to discover recipes that soothe a customer, damn them, or kill them.

Support or thwart. Help them poison a rival, scare off a governess, or gather an offering to save the town. The choice is yours; so are the consequences. Be cordial, be immoral. Leave your idea of "moral" at the door. Make friends, make enemies, and mind the officer's suspicion.…
