Buy Shoyu Ramen Forever PC

This is a story-driven walking simulator horror game (featuring occasional light action sequences, unique stealth mechanics, and simple puzzles). It is designed as a casual, simple adventure game where you progress by walking, exploring, and triggering flags through conversations and events.

The estimated playtime is around 2 hours.

Synopsis

The protagonist, Tsutomu, is a salaryman overwhelmed by his job. Even his long-running ramen blog has nearly stopped updating as he finds himself pushed to his mental and physical limits.

One night, on his way home from work, he stops by a ramen stall near the station for a change of pace and decides to order his noodles with more deluxe toppings than usual. However, there is an urban legend whispered among children about this particular stall.

"If you eat it with 6 toppings, you will disappear."

Unaware of the rumors, Tsutomu adds the six toppings, crosses a boundary, and meets Susumu—a streamer who reviews ramen. Together, they are drawn into the history of the town surrounding the stall. The karma connecting the town and ramen stretches back to the Heian period, and eventually begins to eerily overlap with present-day events.

Heart, food, and karma. When these intertwine, a terrifying battle you never imagined begins.
