What players say

Players call it a cozy visual novel with a touching story about found family and loss, though the ramen-making is a simple minigame rather than a full cooking sim. Many compare it to Coffee Talk, and several warn the game covers heavy topics like death and suicide without being graphic. Some players found the writing predictable or the cooking too limited.
