And ODEN? That's our game's oden deity (no relation to Norse mythology!)—a spiritual guide with a passion for solving problems through food.

✦ AI summary

ODEN is a short, charming narrative game about an oden cart that players find enjoyable and well-priced for its length, with a cute story divided into readable chapters. The main frustration is that ingredient descriptions are only available during the prologue, forcing players to take notes or guess during actual gameplay, and some feel the ending is abrupt with unresolved character arcs. Despite these issues, players recommend it as a fun, worthwhile read.

Short and simple game with a cute story. Each chapter was enjoyable to read, though I do think the ending was a little bit abrupt and honestly I'm a little disappointed that [spoiler] we aren't able to "heal" the one who seemed to need it the most (the white suit guy), I thought the finale would be HIS chapter but he just left :( [/spoiler] Also, the only time you're able to read the description of the ingredients (which is crucial to picking the right ones) is during the prologue. The game doesn't let you see it during the normal chapters, so remember to note them down beforehand. Overall it was still a fun read and I really enjoyed it.

A cute little game about an oden cart and the duality of how life works in so many ways. It's a bit upsetting that there isn't any notes of what is what in terms of item descriptions so a lot of the food giving is guess work but it's still a cute game nonetheless and is priced well for how short it is.
