This game is the perfect choice if you are looking for a relaxing experience. It also tells very well how the burnout works. Loved it and I would reccomend it.

An artfully twisted yet beautiful tale of change. This game is moving in a way most other games strive to only touch on. If there is something in life you are struggling with, or dealt with in the past, get this game. Lean back with a controller and just experience the little moments this game offers. It may take you awhile, or maybe you'll power through and beat it quickly. The story doesn't weigh itself on your choices, but it makes sure its dialog weighs on you.

Wow, another fantastic entry from one of the OG masters of storytelling in games. Wanderstop captures so many emotions and depicts so many thoughts extremely well. As a game developer myself, the themes portrayed hit very close to home and I would say accurately represent struggles with passion, perfectionism, burn out, etc.
I played this at just the right time where I've been struggling to let go of a results-oriented mindset and learn to enjoy the process of what I'm doing, an idea that is strongly emphasized in Wanderstop. It's not a game to blitz through or feel like you should optimize. Just relax, drink some tea, and enjoy your time in this beautiful little world. If you make art of any kind, or you can relate to these ideas in any way, I can't recommend this enough.
The gameplay itself was pretty enjoyable for me, though I can see how it wouldn't be everyone's *cup of tea*. The story and aesthetics/art direction are where it shines the most. I thought the gardening and tea making mechanics had the right amount of complexity for the game, but don't expect Stardew Valley levels of "cozy" mechanics. Some of the interactive elements could also be a little fiddly, but very minor things in an otherwise incredible game.

As much as I am a fan of the concept of the game and certainly the wonderful soundtrack by C418, I felt the execution fell exceptionally flat. The game was more of a make-this-for-that-person, and while there are some interesting characters, I felt the conclusion to the whole existentialism aspect was rather mute because of the limited choices you can actually make throughout this game. It would be much more engaging if the player's choices had more agency and actually affected the story line, rather than being dragged along what I would call a pretty monotonous, inconclusive ramble. Please show and not tell next time.

I really resonate with the protagonist. This game feels like therapy, I've never seen anything like it.
Just a warning, it's not for everyone.

"It is not just about rest, it is also about the reason for resting."
Wanderstop has been a most delightful little adventure, and a welcome experience. The characters are a delight, each a reflection of ourselves, a lesson to teach and learn. Perhaps now this is one of the best games you can experience if, like me, you are in your late 20's and have a position in life that you are not completely content with.
I saw once that someone said that this game wasn't cozy, that it was just chores. And I'm here to say that they are correct: this game is just chores. But it's much more than that; it's about tending to yourself, to your place, to your friends and family. It's about mindfulness, sweeping the messes you find, and sometimes leaving the messes you just can't deal with right now. It's about doing things fast or slow, sloppy or precise. It's about reflecting on your life and how you got here, and meeting other people where they are.
It's about making a nice cup of tea and just sitting around for a while, letting nothing happen. And sometimes, that's all you really need for a change.
Have a nice cuppa. It might do you well.

I AM the grumpy protagonist... if this was just a quaint game about making tea I'd probably have enjoyed it more but the intro is slow and annoying, and the story and characters and their interactions are irritating... I literally am the grumpy protagonist...
I like little farm/shop/simulator games but every time the guy opens his mouth I FEEL the MC's frustration and that translated towards the game. Every time I felt like I wanted to explore and do something, right afterwards I get told to go do that thing again... I already read the gardening book and as the book said I practiced and planted plants and have a full inventory of fruit and the guy makes me go garden and get MORE fruit that I cant even hold and wont let me continue until I do... I am literally the grumpy protagonist... let me walk out of here... stop making me pass out... FRUSTRATION
If you enjoy it great... this is just not my cup of tea... pun intended

This game is quite therapeutic in nature, but the gameplay might not be what people are looking for. Its not quite a tea shop simulator. More like a narrative game with tea flavoured quest.
It is about work life balance. But there is a much sinister undertone for the issue the main character is facing I'll try not to spoil.
Yes, you make tea and the chores are optionally. I do it to collect little trinkets and teacup to fill the shop. Its intended you do everything in the game for the sake of you. You fill the pot with flower because you wanted to, you make the tea because you want to. You clean up because you want to. You get the idea.
The main progress of the game is making requested tea for client, waiting a bit for the next request and repeating. This is the main gameplay loop. Its intended you fill in the time with other activity of your choice.
Some may not like this but the game is quite purposeful in its theme of temporary beauty and joy and to appreciate the now and be ready to let go of the past. To do thing because you liked it.
There is a fair bit of interpretation and ambiguity of the story especially at the ending.
Overall I find the game quite enjoyable with the colorful cast of character and I find Boro to be one my favourite tea enthusiast mentor figure next to Uncle Iroh.

This game was incredible. As someone suffering from CPTSD this game really validated me. If you are someone who needs a moment to just.... exist- play this game. Understand that you are loved, valued, and appreciated. Take a moment to rest.
Thank you to the game DEVs who made this game. I hope in the future I can make a game with as much an impact as this one.
