Oden

Oden is a story game set at a small oden cart, where troubled customers seek comfort after night falls. You meet people facing problems with marriages, careers and work deadlines, and discover how the right ingredient might change their fate.

Customers and choices

You welcome visitors and listen to conversations between Tencho, the cart’s manager, ODEN, the oden deity, and the customers. You choose one ingredient to help with each person’s troubles; your choice affects their future. Some customers may leave with their problems unsolved, leading to a different ending.

The oden cart

Oden is a Japanese hotpot made with ingredients such as eggs, daikon radish, konjac and fishcakes simmered in a rich, savory broth. ODEN is a spiritual guide with a passion for solving problems through food. The game features illustrated oden and orchestral music, and its story takes about 1–2 hours to complete.
