Ramen no Oujisama
by Paper Waifu
A Visual Novel game that chronicles the loves and tribulations of a young man who, thanks to a generous benefactor, is starting fresh in a new city and opening a new ramen restaurant. We are constantly bringing in more graphic, story, and sound assets to the game as our vision evolves, so there's always good reason to replay a route for improvements and extended (even amended) storylines!

v0.7.5
- NEW! 8th character route started! Exclusive to patrons!
v0.6.5
- NEW! 6th character route is open up to Chapter 4 (2 in the demo version)
- NEW! Added gender and pronoun options. This is a secret feature! So you'll have to unlock it to access it! This is a test feature and dialogue in these parts haven't been thoroughly edited yet. We're going to have to check these again for the next update. Some pronouns may come of weird or they haven't been included yet, like the word (gentleman.) This feature does not alter the graphics of the scene in any way, just the dialogue.
- FIX! Related to the above, we fixed the bug that reset the player name and gender when playing a Gallery and Omake scenario. Now it carries over what name and gender you set in when you start a new game.
PROTIP: To set your name and gender for these scene playthroughs, just start a new game. Enter your name, and set your gender/pronoun choices as they are presented to you, then you quit back to the titlescreen (or play through until the credits roll.)
- NEW! A ton of feature improvements under the hood, like how SEs are organized, nested scene reader, the scenes and script, etc...
- FIX! Dialogue text fixes across all the routes and areas of the game. We've added new dialogue interactions between NPCs, and related to this, we've also fixed up the 6th character routes' ending (as one of you fine folks pointed out, the impact wasn't as nice as expected, sooo...)
- FIX! Sango's Event CGs. She doesn't look weird and dated anymore! Yay!
v0.6.0 builds
[03/16/2018]
BUG FIX! Critical fix. Fixed Ice Chef and Boss Lady's chapter 3's freeze ups.
[03/15/2018]
BUG FIX! Critical fix. Game should be able to start a New Game now if you started fresh without any save games.
[03/15/2018]
NEW! M version
FIX! Fixed up save game data (May not be compatible with earlier versions)
NOTE: M version can only load M save game data. Non-M version (the full version) can load both, but if M save is loaded, it will act as if it's the M version until player goes back to the titlescreen. Normally you will not encounter this since the M version will only be available as a demo. I don't recommend loading M save game data on the non-M version.
[03/08/2018]
NEW! Search filters in Gallery and Omake Scenario lists.
NEW! Quick Start secret code!
BUG FIX! Sound test playback and missing BGMs.

Game was milked to hell, not worth it in the slightest. Genuinely a shame considering how it started. The devs revealed themselves to be greedy beyond reason after they milked adding a new route that should have been in the game from the beginning and it feels like a slap in the face to the people who started playing it all those years ago.
One of my first porn games I played. It's a shame that the developer is just milking their Patreon. This has been going for years now. Check it just other day, hoping it was finished so I could purchase it and share it, but it is not finished yet, sorry guys you will have to wait longer.
Amazing one of the best games I played from here where the game is pretty fun while the characters are interesting and not annoying characters really are the main focus here where they all look distinct from one another with their own charming personality
-2 Really didn't care for any the characters (couldn't really stand going through all of them even only got so far with 3 of them before I had to quit it). -.5 pretty meh graphics (the sex bits what few i watched even remind me of early 2000 flash games on newgrounds) and the like and really debated minusing more points due to fact this such a sex focused game yet the sex is so so old and meh, but imo graphics don't really matter unless this was 90+% sex plus as usual the food looks great. -1 Just a average at best sex VN with typical horn dog MC and Horn women wanting MC sex not Love like the Joke on VNs with women wanting the MC to quick, but really just sex the type you would usually more associate with 3d Vns or ones that are very clearly about sex at the very least (not -ing more points if anything giving it points almost for being a much more rare style with that sort of genre) Really don't have much positive to say it has a abundance on food and ramen so if that your thing sure (don't see this as massive negaitive played/read enough VNs that have a huge portion dedicated to Job/Hobby/etc... most so when it in the title and then sex) --> But does loss some points here as it felt 1/2 was food and unecceary yadda yadda then 1/2 sex/horniness (not even sure if it bug/issue/mistake with some characters transitions showing them naked with like a 3d vision effect or intentional which also remindes me of a really old flash game props to any who know it ) -> back to character rating You also might like the attempt to have sprites active and longer loading and replaying due to things like tips, info, watching some really uneeded but guess decent attempt at making work place look busy etc...
This game is one of the best out there. The story is very catchy and the numerous amounts arcs for each girl is worth it. There might not be a lot of sex scenes, but the story is so good, that when you do get the sex scenes its all worth it. They are animated and well done as well. Can't believe it took me more than 3 years to find and play this. Highly recommended.
played through the sexy sub route and loved how the story came together, felt interactive like my choices mattered, and compelled me to finish the story after i was spent. hope the newer routes are also extremely enjoyable in the updates to come.
I really enjoy this game the ramen theme is well researched and implemented extremely well and every girl has a unique character, personality, story, background, and for a lot of them fetish which are even usually explained by the story and many of the characters are linked as well. However, not all the stories are equally good. For example I liked Sango the least in her route compared to as a side character and it wasn't because of her backstory or anything infact her tragic past was the one redeeming quality of what otherwise felt rushed and forced. Another downside is, at least for me anyways but maybe not for everyone, is the detectives story line. It is paired with the yakuza story line which was probably my favorite but the fact that she sold out her friend and what it ended costing her friend because of it and that she would clearly do it again showing no regret over the action itself....loyalty is a big thing with me so she became unforgivable to me then. Also maybe I missed it but in the star story it is never explained how the character she is accused of cheating with knows so much, in particular that she is no longer a virgin, and this kinda bothered me for the rest of the story. However unlike the detective and Sango this could be easily fixed in 2 lines of dialogue where the MC addresses it and the Star says something like "Oh I told him how good you were when he kept pestering me to sleep with him" or something simple like that. Maybe this doesn't bother most people but again loyalty is a big deal with me. Final thing is the game would benefit from the xray feature in all the scenes instead of only a few but this might be tied to patreon and realistically its a nice addition type thing not a huge deciding factor in whether you like the game or not.
I give this one a 5 star review because it hits it's niche so well. It doesn't have the absolute best art, and it doesn't have the absolute best stories/characters (when compared to other VN's) however it blends the erotic with the dating VN quite well, being more pornographic than most VN's but providing better characters than most pure porn games.
a very refreshing game. a rare vn with such deep back story for each character. Loved All the characters including the protagonist (which is rare cause most protag are dumb as hell). Overall a wonderful vn with great potential
If you like Japan, Japanese culture and enjoy the story as much as the sex then you will like this game. More a Virtual Novel than a game really - in Ramen Prince the focus is the story, a well crafted tale about a young man starting out in life and the effects of the choices he/you make. Unlike many of these 'games' here the Story takes center stage. The characters are fully developed and your choices really do matter. There is a ton of content to enjoy so settle down with a nice cuppa and play through each character to see where those decisions take you _ Enjoy. This is truly an excellent VN.
This was a surprisingly delightful game. I had a lot more fun playing through it than I expected to, considering the kind of odd premise, but it's definitely one of my favorites on this site now. The only downside is that the art in the sex scenes is a bit... awkward. Aside from that, this is probably one of my favorite games, and I'm definitely going back to 100% it.
This is an excellent game. The art is beautiful, the plot is original and has quite a few twists if you play all the possible paths. The writing is very well done and has depth. The H scenes are erotic in my opinion and the girls are beautiful. One thing that is great about this game is it is not shy about H scenes or nudity. Gotta love it. This is one of the first adult games or visual novels, I'm still learning what all the words and abbreviations mean, I found and I cannot give it enough praise. There are many projects out there that feel hurried or don't have any depth or connection to the characters, but even though this is still and "Alpha" build, it feels like a completed game, just that you couldn't get all the girls in the game, which is kind of like life anyway. Again I would highly recommend this game. I Keep coming back to it because it is that good compared to a lot of other projects on this site. Again, even though it is an alpha, give it a try and consider visiting Paper Waifu's Patreon page. I am in no way associated with them, but their product is a gem in the rough.
