About the game
Short (about 50 words)
Amayadori is a cozy, stress-free ramen cooking game, designed for iPhone Duo. There are no timers. You cook every bowl by hand, step by step, for a cast of regulars who come in out of the rain, and night by night you get to know them. Lo-fi music, rain on the window, trains overhead.
Long
Amayadori (雨宿り) means sheltering from the rain. It’s a cozy, stress-free ramen cooking game, designed for iPhone Duo. No timers. Cook every bowl by hand, at your own pace.
Most cooking games are a frantic race against the clock. This one is calm. Forget a topping? Your guest will gently remind you.
You run a tiny ramen counter under the railway tracks in a big city during the rainy season. Spoon the tare, ladle the broth, drop the noodles, lift them out and shake them dry. Chop negi, slice and torch chashu, boil and peel eggs, fold wontons. Lay out each bowl with care: a beautiful bowl earns a little extra. The game shows you each step the first time you need it, and new dishes join the menu as you go.
Eight regulars come in out of the rain, each with their usual order and a story of their own. Learn what they like and keep their tea filled. Night by night, they open up. Their gifts find a place in the shop: a sketch on the wall, a tape for the radio, a charm by the stove.
It’s a quiet night: lo-fi music on the radio, rain on the window, trains overhead. Play your own music or podcasts while you cook if you like. Mochi, the shop cat, naps all night and wakes at closing for her chashu. Each night takes about 15 minutes, and you can stop any time and pick up where you left off.
Amayadori is made for iPhone Duo. Held half open like a little laptop, the upright screen is the shop, with the guests and their orders, and the flat screen is your counter. At the end of the night, close your iPhone Duo to close up shop.
Pay once. No ads, no in-app purchases.
Calm on purpose
- No timers, no rush. Nobody waits impatiently, nothing burns to a fail screen. Take as long as you like.
- No fail states. A mistake costs a little tip, never progress. Forget a topping and your guest just asks for it.
- Cook every step by hand. Tare, broth, noodles (drop, lift, shake), negi, chashu (slice and torch), eggs, wontons, then lay out the bowl. Real ramen steps, by touch.
- Eight regulars with stories of their own, told a night at a time at the counter, and in illustrated scenes outside the shop.
- Lo-fi look and sound. Warm, painterly lo-fi art, original lo-fi music on the shop radio, rain and trains.
- Made for iPhone Duo. Guests on the upright screen, your counter on the flat one; fold it shut at closing time.
- Pick it up, put it down. About 15 minutes a night, saves as you play, fully offline. Music, sound effects and rain have separate volume controls.
The regulars
You play the cook. You have no name, no face and no voice: the regulars just call you “chef”.
HanaFox girl, art studentA second-year illustration student from the art college across the river. She draws while she waits and while she eats, and always asks before she draws you. Your first regular.

Questions
- Can I stream it or make videos?
- Yes. You’re welcome to stream, record and monetise videos of Amayadori.
- Is there any time pressure?
- None. No timers, no impatient customers, no rush. Guests wait happily however long you take.
- Can you fail or lose?
- No. There’s no game over. A mistake costs a bit of tip or word of mouth, never progress.
- How long is it?
- Each night takes about 15 minutes. The story plays out over a few hours of nights, and when it ends the shop stays open, so you can keep cooking.
- Can I play my own music while I cook?
- Yes. You can set the music, sound effects and rain volume separately, so you can play your own music or listen to a podcast over the game.
- Is there voice acting?
- No. The regulars talk in speech balloons.
- What does the name mean?
- Amayadori (雨宿り, ah-mah-yah-doh-ree) means sheltering from the rain: ducking under an awning or into a shop until a shower passes. That’s what the regulars do.
