About the game
In Midnight Ramen, you play as the owner of a late-night ramen stand and his apprentice. You interact with your customers, listen to their troubles, and help them out whenever you can. But as the bowls of ramen are cooked and served, troubles are beginning to brew in your own life as well...

The value story
Across all 23 discounts in the 2 years tracked, the median cut is 25 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today's $7.19 at 40 percent off still sits 13 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is pricier than 65 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. Among the games closest to it, What Comes After ($4.99, scores 67) and Death and Taxes ($1.68, scores 73) both come in lower.

What players say
For anyone who plans to buy this game: it includes very sensitive topics. You've been warned. Pros: + art style. It fits the whole narrative perfectly. + plot. 4 hours of me trying not to cry, and another 30 minutes that completely made me burst into tears. + music. Just a cherry on top of the whole vibe of this VN. + cooking. Making ramen is actually fun! I wish they had made a free mode where I could just chill...

You think you signed up for a chill game where you make ramen for randos, kinda like 'Good Pizza, Great Pizza', but then you get hit with gut punches and heart wrenching moments from a story that's very reminiscent of another game that I adore. Beautiful art style, wonderful music that perfectly matches the tone of each scene and great characters that you can get to know and love. I only wish that the game was...
Midnight Ramen is a beautifully crafted game with a heart-touching story. You play as one of a two-person team running a late-night ramen stall as you comfort clients, fill orders, and ultimately, guide souls with good food and heartfelt wisdom. A phenomenal late-night gaming experience, but be prepared for cravings! Best played with a bowl of shin ramen and mug of chamomile & valerian root tea. 10/10.
