Solarpunk for adults, which will envelop you with coziness and the aroma of herbal tea. Here, technology does not harm nature, and the relationships between the characters make you think about what is really important.

The time of discoveries and first questions has passed. Tea monk Sibling Dex and robot Rickenella leave the wild nature and set off on a journey through human cities. People are used to living without robots, and robots - without people.

Rickenella, the first robot to return to people, wants to know: what does it mean to be part of a world where everything is already set up? Is there a place in it for someone without a specific role?

Sibling Dex, who have found peace in their calling - to listen, support and brew tea - are faced with new doubts: if the meaning of life is simply to live, then what to do when this is no longer enough?
