About ODEN
"ODEN" - The Only Hope For Some
Night falls, and troubled souls seek comfort at a small oden cart.
Marriages on the brink, careers at crossroads, writers facing impossible deadlines...
As these customers share their stories, you'll discover how the perfect oden ingredient might just change their fate forever.
Or will some customers leave with their problems unsolved, leading to a different ending altogether?
Oden is a comforting Japanese hotpot dish perfect for cold nights—eggs, daikon radish, konjac, and fishcakes all simmered in a rich, savory broth.
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.

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.2 found this helpful
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.
