Oden Cart A Heartwarming Tale

i became incredibly attached to these characters almost immediately! the game itself is beautiful in both visuals and sound with the characters and music being unique and interesting. it is a wonderful idea for a game and i'm sad as i near the finish. it is a compelling mystery and calming pastime. the characters each draw you in and i found myself with multiple favorites! it is a surprising, gorgeous, and satisfying game!! i am currently very passionate about it (as are the friends that i have shown this to). my only gripe (haha) is that i and my friends cant get the grumpy man and nice girl's final gripe. i'm not sure whether it is for plot or we have to do something special? the nice girl has become my favorite and [SPOILERS?] i am obviously incredibly worried about her haha. and i'm left hanging with the grumpy man, as well! what are their endings!! i've got to know!! my fear is that this is as much as i can complete (all endings except for the grumpy man's/nice girl's) and i am not prepared for this story to be over! i hope i am just missing something. beautiful game! one of my favorites, now! even with all the endings, i'll love to read through the gripes of my customers and friends.

What a delightful app! I love seeing if and how the different characters are connected, and slowly learning more of their stories. I find myself opening the game all the time to see what's new. At first I was overwhelmed with the screen filled with little speech bubbles if you've been away for awhile, but once you read their gripe once you don't have to do it again so it's quite manageable. I only have two gripes (hah!) - although I greatly appreciate that there are no microtransactions, I wish there was a way to pay them because I am enjoying this so much. The second thing is, now I find myself craving oden all the time. ;)

When I had read that this app parades having a "heartwarming tale" I was very skeptical. After playing it for about a week or more though I think it's a fair statement. The stories the characters tell you really make them seem real, and make you feel for them. Most if not all the characters I want to hug and make them feel better (haha). The ambience is very relaxing and I'm almost tempted to leave the game open to sleep to the sounds and music at night. Would recommend this app to people who have patience and like character development. Edit: As of recently I've been having the same issue as tadashi(?) where I can't seem to get the old man's last gripe, the young girl, and the mysterious girl. I'm wondering how I can figure out if this game is just stuck in a loop forever or if there's something specifically I need to do. I've been playing this for months, so I think it's about time for a conclusion.

This game instantly transports you to modern-day Tokyo with its realistic characters, stories, and - best of all - delicious oden. Released by a game company located across the Sumida River from my usual stomping grounds (Akihabara), and headed by two Waseda University graduates, it's gotten consistently high ratings in the Japan-based market. Now translated and localized into English, it retains its clean, vibrant graphics and sound effects with minimal advertising. Perfect for immersing yourself in a contemporary Japanese atmosphere while waiting in line, during your lunch break, or a few minutes of downtime at home. Best of all, it's totally free with no pay-to-play or micro-translations.

I open the app several times a day in anticipation of finishing the characters' stories. It doesn't require a lot of effort but it still manages to keep my interest even after a couple weeks. I really like how the characters' stories are interconnected. Also I think to finish some stories you need to have specific people there at the same time. For example [spoiler], I just finished the grumpy man's story and I realized after reading the ending that he was at the cart the same time as the mysterious man when I got his last speech bubble. That kind of detail is really nice.
