Call of Boba is a casual game that is preparing to launch soon -- it is developed by the Santa Cruz-based studio Tomatoast. The game has a cute cozy pixel art aesthetic where players are invited to take on the role of a bubble tea shop owner who is trying to save their struggling business.
They are to create the perfect cup of tea and also battle against enemies for inspiration. The players will take on daily tasks of running a bubble tea shop including inventory management, finding new recipes, and farming for ingredients. The town outside the tea shop also is an entire world of its own where they can build relationships with customers, do town tasks, and more.
