If You Love Boba Tea & Stardew Valley, This New Cozy Game Is For You

During the day, you can farm, fish, and explore, which you tend to expect in cozy games. This helps you gather resources for the shop and ingredients for new boba tea recipes. However, nighttime isn’t just for resting in Call of Boba. Instead, you travel through your dreams with a boba gun that you use to defeat enemies and loot ingredients.

Naturally, you also help run the boba shop during the day. This adds a small business simulator element to the game, and you pay attention to orders and craft drinks, then deliver them to your customers. I found this aspect to feel rather slow at the start, but it acts as a tutorial, which can definitely be helpful if you aren’t as familiar with this style of gameplay. Still, it’s rather straightforward, and you have cute images around the shop to help guide you.

Overall, Call of Boba has an endearing atmosphere that emphasizes the charm of a small town filled with childhood memories. Since it’s only in Early Access, I expect that we’ll see quite a few changes and extra polishing done as the game works towards its full release version. In the meantime, I look forward to seeing the game grow, and finding out what the modding community can come up with to mix up the experience.

Call of Boba is available now in Early Access.
