Ramen Shop in the Floating Slums

Create your own ramen, grow your shop, and build a life in a city on the water in this first-person ramen shop and life simulator.

Winding waterways. Buildings packed tightly together. In a small corner of this city, you open a ramen shop without a penny to your name.

Start by rummaging through trash for ingredients and money. Gather equipment, simmer your broth, and sell the bowls you make, building up your shop and your life one step at a time.

Pork bones, chicken bones, seafood, aromatic vegetables… Choose from dozens of ingredients for your broth. Experiment with different combinations, amounts of water, and simmering times to create a flavor of your own.

From noodle types and firmness to seasoning sauces, aromatic oils, and toppings, every bowl offers plenty of choices. Pile on your favorite ingredients or try unexpected combinations. The choice is yours.

(Some footage shows Japanese UI from a development build. English UI support is planned.)

Once you've created a bowl, take its photo, give it a name, set a price, and add it to your shop's menu. Find the right balance of flavor and price, and create your shop's signature ramen.

Serve your own ramen creations to customers to earn money and build your reputation.

Spend your earnings on new ingredients and equipment to expand your ramen-making options. Keep refining your signature dish or experiment with a whole new combination. It's up to you.

Arrange pots, noodle cookers, and other kitchen equipment to create a shop that works the way you want it to.

Every building and shopfront prop in this floating slum was created specifically for this game. Tightly packed buildings, exposed pipes, and everyday belongings spilling out from storefronts give this unfamiliar city a lived-in feel. Step inside and explore a place like no other.

Leave your shop and follow alleys that weave between buildings and waterways. Discover ingredient suppliers, equipment stores, fishing tackle shops, fishing spots, and trash dumps where you can find supplies for your kitchen.

Shop for ingredients. Rummage through trash for useful finds. Try adding your latest catch to a new broth. A detour through the city could inspire your next bowl.

Cluttered yet inviting, this is a city made for wandering. Take a break from work and see if you can find a favorite view.

Tired workers, impossibly picky eaters, die-hard ramen devotees… All kinds of people around the city are waiting for your ramen.

Prepare and deliver a bowl that meets their requests, from specific ingredients to how firm they like their noodles, and receive ingredients or money in return.

Test your skills with orders beyond your usual menu, or use your rewards to dream up a new recipe. There are plenty of reasons to make another bowl, even outside your shop.

A note from the developer: Why I made this game

Spending time in the worlds of games and other creative works has helped me through a lot.

Stepping away from everyday life for a while. Enjoying a different life in a different city. I hope this game can give someone a place to do just that.

That's why I've put so much care into both the ramen and the world around it, from little alleys that invite you to wander to the objects outside the shops.

I hope this city on the water becomes a place you'll want to come back to from time to time.
