This bite-sized game showcases meaning of "style over substance", or rather "whimsical surrealism over substance". It looks nice, and the set-up is somewhat intriguing, but it all falls apart with the lack of dialogue (there are icons guests communicate with - what they mean is largely for you to interpret) and any kind of direction. You can finish it under 5 min (most of the time will be spent trying to decipher what exactly this games wants you to do) and get different endings, artistic and a bit poetically self-indulgent. If you're here for the style of macabre take on Alice in Wonderland - you may like it. If you want to find anything remotely close to a "game" in this ... game (??) - You might be disappointed. Works for a few head-scratching "what did I just play" moments.
A charming scenario that replicates what it would be like to sit down at a table of cannibals. You may not know what you are doing, but that's the whimsy and mystery about this short visual novel. The game follows branching paths that can jumped on/off at certain this/that decisions. The true horror arises when you realise Hungry Tea Party doesn't have a quit option in fullscreen, and can crash in the options. Bugs and oversights aside... I believe the presentation could use additional cues to highlight moments of interactivity; there was difficulty realising that clicking on the party guest wouldn't decide whom I would speak with (and that the speech bubbles were not topics to pick). Overall a thumbs up; Hungry Tea Party has some shortcomings but it was an evocative experience.

This game was a really dope dark take on alice and wonderland. I liked the endings the images do a good job of telling the story even though it took me multiple play throughs to understand the options they were giving me and how to get to the true ending but definitely worth the play. The music and atmosphere of the game fit the scenery and the story of the game really well. full play through with all endings here: https://youtu.be/T8I7z9XZ8H0
I hope there were only four endings? Honestly this game is pure chaos and confusion, but it's pretty quick to get the endings and you can rewatch them in the gallery. It has gorgeous art and I really did like playing it even though I didn't understand eveything I was doing super well. Alice is one hungry girl.
Эта небольшая игра демонстрирует значение «стиль важнее содержания» или, скорее, «причудливый сюрреализм важнее содержания». Выглядит красиво, и настройка несколько интригует, но все разваливается на части из-за отсутствия диалога (есть значки, с которыми общаются гости - то, что они имеют в виду, в основном для интерпретации вами) и любого направления. Вы можете закончить его менее чем за 5 минут (большая часть времени будет потрачена на попытки расшифровать, чего именно от вас хотят добиться в этой игре) и получить разные концовки, художественные и немного поэтично самодовольные. Если вы здесь ради мрачного образа «Алисы в стране чудес» - вам это может понравиться. Если вы хотите найти что-то отдаленно похожее на "игру" в этой ... игре (??) - вы можете быть разочарованы. Работает для нескольких головокружительных моментов типа "что я только что сыграл".
THIS DESERVES MORE HYPE NBJAEDF I LOVE THE MAD HATTERRRR
At first, I was interested in the colourful macabre artwork, but now I left with a disappointment. This game is confusing, especially with the no-text dialogue. Took me quite a while to understand what the characters are saying.
I have no idea what I'm doing but the game is FREE! The art style is cute and it's an interesting twist on the classics.
I [i]loved[/i] this game. I thought the music was cute and that the starting screen was adorable. The character designs? THE CHARACTER DESIGNS?! I was absolutely in love with them from the start—March Hare was thoroughly the creepiest, I loved what you did with the Mad Hatter, but what you did with Alice was even more adorable. I loved her skeleton and ribbon design. Part of me was a little disappointed that I didn't get scared, but you know what? I'm more than okay with that. I'm a little baby when it comes to horror games and I did play this so that I could record it. I loved the response I got out of it much better. I got all five of the endings and I loved each one. Thank you so much for making a great game! ♥
It's a very short and nice game, also the art is beautiful. I saw a lot of people complaining about the choices being confusing but I thought it was quite clear and simple. Each ending + profile elaborate a little on the characters personalities, only the true ending felt a little... how can I put it? Lacking, I guess? [spoiler] (Being the only one to not be accompanied by text) [/spoiler] But overall I would very much like to see a longer version of the story with more options to choose from and more endings!
