The Entropy Centre is a mind-bending puzzle adventure where you reverse objects through time to overcome seemingly impossible obstacles and conundrums.

Manipulate time to your will and solve ingeniously challenging puzzle rooms, each one taking you closer to the heart of a colossal space station in orbit of Earth.

An extinction level event has set the world ablaze. You appear to be the last remaining person alive. Mankind’s only hope lies at the core of the Entropy Centre.

Meet ASTRA, The Entropy Centre’s most advanced technical marvel. ASTRA is an AI-powered device that can scan an object’s spacetime chronology and move it through the past. Powers include rebuilding collapsing pillars to reheating cups of tea. She’s pretty chill.

The truth behind The Entropy Centre’s imminent collapse, and the Earth’s demise, can be found at the heart of this sprawling dangerous facility. But will you accept the unfortunate truth that awaits?

Deviously challenging with razor-sharp witty writing and outstanding voice acting performances, The Entropy Centre merges a brilliant puzzle game with an epic adventure.

Relax in the world of Kemono Teatime, where animal ears are a normal part of everyday life. Here in Melodius, you can whip up whatever blends of tea you desire in your favorite cafe as you play through an adorable story. Come now and live out your bestest and cutest life—down to the last drop. Though, you do know that once it's run out, that's it, right? It'd do you best to learn that all good things come to an end.

Meet all the Kemomimis that come through the cafe and help them wind down, spend a cute and adorable time sipping on some tea, and come to terms with their ultimate fates.

ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ Meow!

"Welcome!"

Come on in! Here, we strive to make the remainder of our customers' lives as enjoyable as possible, so we've curated a cute space for everyone to relax and find peace in. We also have a great range of tea blends and delicious desserts on offer, so please make yourself at home.

Now, to get things started, how about a nice cup of tea blended just for you?

"Here's one of our specialties!"

Create your own unique teas with our stock of 9 black teas, 15 herbs, and secret ingredients. Get to know the customers and make them something that they'll love while you immerse yourself in the wonderful sounds of the tea-making process.

"Let your ears enjoy the cute atmosphere too!"

De-stress with the cafe's ASMR, with all its sounds and effects recorded in binaural audio. The background music also changes with each customer, giving you unique experiences that come and go with each new soul you meet.

"All the staff and customers here are adorable Kemomimis!"

All the cafe staff and customers (except me) have animal ears! Please savor each encounter and goodbye while you can—I'm sure you'll have a very special and unforgettable time here with all the people you meet.

-Tarte

The cafe's trusty manager and elder of two sisters. She's the resident tea-blending expert.

-Macaron

Tarte's adorable little sister who is a patissiere and the face of the cafe.

-Quiche

A traveler who lodges at the cafe in exchange for some handy gifts.

-The Kemomimi customers

Meet a host of these cute and colorful characters at the cafe!

"The cafe will be open for three weeks only!"

You caught that, right? The shop's only running for a maximum of 21 days. What kind of people and stories will you get to know during this time? And is the cafe really shutting down after that? Why open up a limited-time cafe to begin with, anyway? The truth is up to you to uncover!

"Come back again any time!"

If you like what you see, please wishlist Kemono Teatime and we will deliver the latest updates to you. Until then, please sit back with a nice cup of tea and relax.
