History VisualNovel / MiceTea

* Downer Ending: Given how there are multiple endings, there are bout to be some endings that ends poorly for both parities. Some notable examples includes:

* AprilFoolsDay: On April 1, 2023, instead of releasing the 1.0 version of ''Mice Tea'' (as only the month of release was known at the time), the team instead released ''[[https://cinswitch.itch.io/moth-tea Moth Tea]]'', starring L the Moth Girl from urban fantasy web novel ''[[https://www.patreon.com/posts/chrysalis-49830841 Chrysalis]]''. When ''Mice Tea'' officially released on Steam, ''Moth Tea'' was included as an Extra feature.

A sequel, ''VisualNovel/CoffeeBuns'', is currently in development.

* KindheartedCatLover: Felicia, natch. She not only owns ''eight'' cats [[labelnote:*]]also all but outright admitting she's doing so in defiance of her landlord[[/labelnote]] and constantly refers to them as her "babies", she even personally cooks them their own food no fewer than twice daily out of chicken breasts, rice, and mixed vegetables, condemning the comparably substandard quality of commercially available cat food while proudly stating, "Nothing but the best for my babies!"

* EasyAmnesia: Happens to [[spoiler:Felicia]] in Julie's route, due to the branching story paths. [[spoiler:Since Margaret wasn't present to steady her when she [[GenderBender transformed for the first time]], Felicia wound up hitting her head and forgetting who she was. She winds up going by the name "Portia", and being taken in by Sylvia. The amnesia is ultimately fixed when she narrowly dodges being hit by Julie's falling duffel bag at Ricky's gala, and the ensuing adrenaline rush winds up bringing her memories back.]]

''Mice Tea'' is a transformation-focused VisualNovel created by Creator/CinnamonSwitch. After a development period in which only Patreon supporters had access to Early Access builds, a public version was available to purchase through itch.io in early February 2023, with a free demo made available on April 12th, 2023, and a complete version and UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} release on April 28, 2023. Although the work itself [[HGame is intended for mature audiences]], there is AdjustableCensorship, and the developers also have a safe-for-work Website/{{Tumblr}} blog starring its main cast located [[https://cinswitch.tumblr.com/ here]].

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: If fast-forwarding through a route you've played before to get the choices you didn't pick last time, the fast-forward will stop automatically when it gets to any new text resulting from your new choices, so the player doesn't miss a thing.

* YouSexyBeast: There are numerous scenes of intimacy between the characters in their transformed states, more so than in their original human forms.

** James's last name, Van der Werk, is Dutch for "of the falcon".
