Tea with Apashka
Tea with Apashka is an interactive exploration of Kazakh culture, wisdom and gossip — all through the eyes of an old, fun-loving Kazakh woman, Apashka.

You can even chat to Apashka through her personal bot — although I have to warn you, she can get cocky at times! To message Apashka, simply find @Apashka_bot on Telegram, and send her a message.

Illustrated on Procreate and turned into a game with Construct 3, Apashka is the perfect character
to narrate Kazakh culture to an English-speaking audience.
You can have tea with Apashka yourself — FYI, Apashka prefers Google Chrome!
