I didn't expect to prefer a coarser mouse pad, but SteelSeries' new QcK Performance range has changed my mind

No matter how much I want to barge into Ivy Road’s office and demand an epilogue, no matter how much I want them to tell me something—anything—about how it all ends, I can’t.

There are a lot of open-ended dialogues in this game. That’s because the story moves in chapters, and with each chapter, we meet new customers while the ones from the previous one are simply… gone.

Clearly, Boro has taken a tea leaf out of their book and created the world's slowest machine. Elevada can add flavors with delicate precision, or blindly chuck any old thing in there and see what comes out.

Most of us grew up never really knowing why we are the way we are, brushing things off as personality quirks or personal failings, only to hit adulthood and go, "Oh. Oh, so that’s why I struggle with this. Oh, so that’s why I react that way. Oh, so that’s why I can never just let things go."

The closest we get to reexamining our lives in most cozy games is moving away from the city for a taste of rural life. In Harvest Moon, Story of Seasons, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, or Stardew Valley, your character throws in the towel at their fast-paced corpo job and immediately adjusts to being a laid-back landworker with absolutely zero ego.

Both Miri and their favourite games have been described as “weird and unsettling”, but only one of them can whip up a flawless coffee cake.

I loved the characters in this game in ways I didn’t anticipate, from the adorkable pretend-knight Gerald and his overbearing love for his son, to the boisterous Nana, whose fiercely competitive nature lands her shop on Wanderstop’s doorstep to try and “run you out of business.

Dialogue is beautifully written, filled with small, poignant moments that can unexpectedly hit close to home. And Boro? The embodiment of gentle, unwavering support. Every word he speaks carries weight, making him one of the most memorable characters in recent gaming. The only thing keeping this from a perfect 10 is the ending. While thematically fitting, it lacks a certain emotional punch that a stronger conclusion could have delivered. Wanderstop embraces ambiguity, but a bit more resolution—especially in the final moments—would have made the journey feel even more rewarding.

Next, you climb back up, kick a lever, and the water drains into the next pot. Swing that ladder around, and it’s time to throw your tea and other ingredients in. Then all that’s left is to kick the lever to release it and pour it into a mug. The movement is so fun that you start to feel like a pro by the end, even though the tea making itself is otherwise quite simple.

It was something I marveled at over and over again, a golden glow spilling through the windows, making the glass of the brewery shine. It’s just so pretty. The dishwashing train Wanderstop Gameplay was also a delight to watch, little cups moving from the main room through a waterfall to the kitchen under the furnace in a whimsical, almost musical rhythm. And the skies—oh, the skies. I often found myself zooming out just to take them in, the endless expanse of stars or the shifting hues of dawn and dusk casting a quiet, melancholic beauty over everything.

Players are invited to immerse themselves in its cafe management simulator where they must learn how to brew a good cup of tea using a mix of different ingredients, serve it to customers, and perform related chores such as cleaning, decorating, and gardening.

I find joy in the adrenaline rush of horror games, but my thrill-seeking doesn't stop there. Beyond the digital realm, I like to take on the role of designated GM in TTRPGs.
