The Archipelago

The Archipelago is a visual novel about brewing tea in a floating chain of islands. You choose teas to decide who visits your café and which conversations you hear, following the inhabitants as they face trauma, change and hope.

A broken world

Thirty years ago, the Archipelago was one island. It broke into pieces, separating lovers and families. The people who remain can communicate only through the Messengers, flying mail deliverers with ambitions of their own.

Tea and conversations

You make tea for whoever needs it, asking only to listen to their conversations in return. The flavours in each brew affect who comes to the café, letting you encounter different people, dialogues and perspectives on life in the Archipelago.
