Great storytelling!
Earthwalker9
Wow. What a unique & compelling game! I was captivated by the storytelling and relatable characters. The gameplay is very different from other games I’ve played in the past, but once I was able to get into the rhythm of the slower (more casual?) pace, I really enjoyed it & wanted to uncover the full story. Now that it’s over, I wish I could experience it all over again. Like other reviewers, I was having a tough time finishing the Nice Girl & Grumpy Man’s storyline. It was frustrating to figure out, and unfortunately I relied on some spoilers to get the Grumpy Man’s ending. I will say for future players that the key to progressing is to finish the storylines for the last three characters first, and then return to the others. Overall, I’m so glad I discovered this game, and I’m also playing other games from Gagex at this time, too! Thank you.
Great!

I enjoyed it very much. I liked characters and story. And of course, Oden. I ended up going to Asian grocery store to get Oden set to make Oden for dinner. By the way, where is Oden Cart 3 in English language? Please hurry.
Came back for more

I originally had played this game almost three years back, and came back for a second round. It’s still the same as I remember, with relatable characters and believable stories. There are a variety of different perspectives and it’s nice to see the slow (but not achingly so) progression of each characters’ stories. Makes you think about the other person. This is incredibly charming to me, although that might be in part because of my familiarity with the Japanese culture, so know that going forward. For anyone that’s looking for more, there’s a sequel to this game! Also fun.
Beautiful game, but one flaw...

I love games by Gagex, particularly the cozy ones dealing with food. The art is lovely, as are the descriptions of the food (so much life and culture can be expressed through food!), and, most importantly, the characters are interesting, making the story interesting. However, my single issue with this particular game is that it really slows down as you draw towards the end. Of course, this might be entirely due to user error, but I’m playing this solely as an idle game and not putting effort into thinking about puzzle-solving. These games are cozy to me and easy and quick to check on; I don’t really like feeling as if I have a task to do, feel me?
Game is ruined by ads.

Beautiful soundtrack, and nice atmosphere as with the other games by this developer. I love their games but this one is legit ruined by the bottom ad that can be closed and it partially blocks all the other buttons in the game. The “recommendations” is also just more ads. I’d rather just pay to play without ads or at least move the ads in a way they are blocking the screen.
Love it
Kueyii
I don’t ever write reviews but I feel this game deserves one. For one, the art and music is incredibly relaxing and the game is right up my alley. I’m more used to playing action-oriented games with my friends but sometimes it’s nice to have a laid back game that doesn’t demand much from you.
Ads :c

I’d love to play this game but as soon as I get to the gameplay a large banner ad completely covers the bottom bar that allows you to stock the cart/view customers etc. I usually don’t mind ads at all but this one is getting in the way of the gameplay.
Unplayable

More broken ads, game crashes, waste of time. Shame. I really loved “summer memories” so I’m trying to play through the rest of their catalog but most of the titles are unplayable. Ads pop up intrusively, they fail to load leaving the game stuck. You’re only option is to throw it out of memory and relaunch but you have to do this every third action or so... and that’s only if it hasn’t crashed. This one is a nonstarter.
Nice Girl: A Gut-Wrenching Tale
Your Irrational Hero
I don’t know what is up with this girl, but she REFUSES to change! Like, all I need is a single gripe from her and bam, she’s done. But for the past three days all she ever says is “Nice Oden!” Okay den, WHAT ELSE!? I have literally finished EVERYONE else but her and STILL she won’t say it! What do I gotta do to get ya to talk!? She’s driving me mad! I even just stocked EGGS to the point only SHE shows up, and even then, she still won’t say it! I’m this close to flipping my cart over and pouring a bottle of booze over your head! WHY WON’T YOU JUST ALREADY SAY IT!!! Besides that, fun relaxing game.
