## What is Ramen Empire?

Ramen Empire is a monthly turn-based business sim. Open ramen shops abroad, expand from Tokyo to Osaka to Taipei, and hit your 5-year goal.

■ The core loop
- Pick a lot. Choose brand tone, supply chain, soup style, signature topping, price, and marketing.
- Each month demand, match score, rivals and events compute your revenue and profit.
- Decisions that fit the local taste win — read the numbers and adjust.

■ Features
- 5 soup styles (tonkotsu, shoyu, shio, miso, tsukemen) x 6 toppings to differentiate your shops.
- 3 cities: Tokyo, Osaka, Taipei — each with its own demand, rent, and taste.
- Monthly report with revenue, profit, demand, share, and match breakdown.
- Cross-shop dashboard with charts showing profit and brand awareness over time.
- Journal of monthly events. Research view to surface hidden market parameters.
- 3 difficulty levels, achievements, NG+ runs for replay.

■ Made for
- Players who enjoy reading numbers and building a strategy.
- Short-session turn-based games you can finish on a commute.
- Anyone curious about ramen and overseas expansion.

Start with one shop. Grow it into an empire that crosses borders.
