The Ramen Prince 0.9

Visual novels have some of the most diverse settings in gaming. Their potential is nearly unlimited, as all you need is a set of good artists and writers to bring a world to life. You rarely have to worry about game design and coding is straightforward. However, some people just want to experience a life that's only slightly different. Enter Ramen Prince.

Installing Ramen Prince is easy. Just unzip it and run the executable. This isn't just a business game - there are also a ton of dating sim elements that are typical of visual novels. The main gameplay loop is managing your small business and pursuing a romantic relationship. The main idea throughout the game is to pick a route and steer the plot in that direction depending on your personal preference. Multiple routes automatically give the game some pretty good replay value.

Most of the story consists of a few cute girls hitting on you and most of your dialogue would have you flirting back and trying to get their attention. Since most of the action depends on the choices you make, the dialogue is very important. Luckily, the writing is pretty decent. You can tell that the writers are trying to include as much variety as possible in terms of the characters and personalities.

Overall, Ramen Prince is a great visual novel. It doesn't really innovate in any area, but it does have a great art style and solid writing. If that sounds like it'll appeal to you, then you should give it a download.
