Harness the energy of life itself to empower your body, control your environment, even delve deep into the mysteries of the mind! Will you use your newfound powers to maintain the balance of the universe, or will corruption stain your soul?
"Teahouse of the Gods" is a 250,000-word interactive novel by Naca Rat. It's entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
After one night at "The Teahouse" on Mount Qingcheng in Sichuan, China, you wake with the ability to perceive and manipulate spiritual energy, known as qi. Now, you can see gods and monsters that ordinary people can't, and you can unlock extraordinary powers.
On the path of the body, you can run faster, jump higher, and punch harder. On the path of the mind, you can create glamours and illusions that change people's perceptions of reality. And on the path of the environment, you can reach out to the world around you, from blades of grass, to the smallest teacup, to Mount Qingcheng itself.
Under the guidance of gods and animal spirits, you can perceive a sickness slowly poisoning the mountain and its inhabitants. When an ancient enemy returns to the mountain with vengeance in mind, will you be ready to join the fight? The mysteries of Mount Qingcheng are beckoning you.

It was just confusing
Blank screen, I can't even go past the first page. Nothing is clickable.
The writing style is beautiful and transports you to a more traditional China landscape while having a lasting impression of environment conservation. There are characters that my character doesn't get along with, but the narrative sort of forces them to get along anyway. This game is for people who have played Choice games before because if you don't manage stats consistently you will die at the climax. Also wish there was an option for me to "speak" Chinese and have it written in English.
to be real, this is the one that made me swear off buying these games. CoG used to be a lot more discerning about what they'd publish but it seems their prices are rising while standards are lowering. just trust the negative reviews, trust me, I should have and now I wish I could get my $7 back.
Really fun game! As a Chinese person it is incredibly touching the author explaining everything in it. The history and gods stories. Lovely game.
STOP WITH THE PRONOUNCE... ASK ME MY GENDER
It was great until I hit midsummer festival part. Then it went to hell, enough that I read the rest not caring what happened. Very depressing. Maybe was my choices that kept me from The End, whom had 80+% likeability, not going to try again either.
