Zashiki Warashi Kareshi I LOVE Ramen Steam Demo Out, Full Release Set for September 24
Phoenixx announced on August 20, 2026 that the novel game Zashiki Warashi Kareshi I LOVE Ramen will launch on Steam on September 24. The price is undecided. A demo is now available. The game is a yokai romantic comedy themed around ramen, yokai, and romance, created by Ara Hana Nuno. The protagonist Sasami dreams of opening a ramen shop and meets Marilyn, a handsome zashiki warashi who claims to be a ramen-making specialist. Together they make ramen, interact with unique yokai, and follow a story with laughter, romance, and mystery. The full version includes part 1, previously released as a free game, and new part 2, which continues the story. The demo lets players play part 1 from the start, and after finishing it, a quiz about part 1 unlocks the beginning of part 2. Two theme songs, Zashiki Warashi Kareshi no Theme! and Oresama Tambourine, were released on YouTube to mark the demo. The Steam store page is accepting wishlist registrations.
