Sips and Sonnets is a fully voice-acted cosy visual novel with tea brewing mechanics, branching dialogue, and a poetry minigame. Starring two legendary actors: Bethan Dixon Bate (Queen Vlaakith from Baldur’s Gate 3, Sienna from Warhammer: Vermintide) and Lenval Brown (the velvety-voiced psyche in Disco Elysium).

Launching on Steam for Windows and Mac in September 2025 for only $6.99 USD (with a 30% launch discount), the game offers a relaxing 2–4 hour experience. A product of love, Sips and Sonnets blends a therapeutic artstyle, an immersive slice-of-life story, and impactful dialogue choices leading to multiple endings.

In Sips and Sonnets, players step into the shoes of Miss Meadows, a retired journalist running a small tea boutique nestled in the British countryside. She brews tea for her clientele as they talk about their interesting lives.

Miss Meadows draws inspiration from their stories to write a poem for her childhood friend, Esmée. Through thoughtful conversations and heartfelt choices, players shape the story of a

woman navigating solitude, aging, and the understated beauty of human connection.
