## What is Soul & Soup?

Somewhere between life and the afterlife,
there's a little diner where wandering souls and yokai guests gather.
Merge ingredients into warm meals, and listen to each guest's story.
Sometimes, one bowl of soup is the last comfort a soul needs.

■ Merge away — yokai guests galore!
Combine ingredients into tastier dishes! Run your diner with simple,
satisfying merge puzzles and discover new recipes as you go.

■ 100 yokai too cute to resist
Summon, collect, and complete your encyclopedia of yokai monsters.
Dokkaebi, ghosts, grim reapers — adorable spirits you won't find anywhere else.

■ Stories that will touch your heart
Every soul that visits has something left unsaid.
Serve them a warm meal and discover tales of longing, regret, and love.

■ Make the diner your own
Expand and decorate your restaurant to welcome even more guests.

※ This game includes probability-based items (loot boxes).
Odds are available in the in-game probability details.

### 5/5 — 可愛い〜

*2026-09-03*

キャラが可愛くて癒されます
暇な時にぽちぽちするのが楽しい〜！

### 5/5 — 머지게임 중 제일 깔끔하고 좋습니다

*2026-09-02*

요즘 머지게임들 다 너무 복잡하고 쓸데없는 요소 많은데 여러 부분에서 깔끔하고 좋아요 스토리도 있고 재밌습니다

### 1/5 — New update sucks

*2026-08-30*

Lost its old charm, now it’s just any other merge games, and bugs too

### 5/5 — 머지게임 중 탑임 진심 머지겜 좋아하고 요괴 특히 좋아하면 바로 하세요

*2026-08-29*

디자인부터 독창적이고 컨셉도 좋음 스토리도 잔잔하고 힐링 애니 보는 기분이라 재밌음. 요괴들 디자인이 너무 귀여움. 머지 게임이 젤 빡치는 요소가 에너지 드럽게 빨리 사라지는데 채울 수 있는 요소가 별로 없는 점인데 플레이 보상으로 에너지 잘주고 뭐 이것저것 이벤트도 많아서 딱히 에너지 적다고도 생각 잘 안듦. 아 게다가 머지요소가 식당 음식 말고도 요괴들도 가능한게 재밌음. 이 요괴들 모으면 시간마다 보상도 주는데 이것도 쏠쏠함 모든 요소가 재밋다

### 3/5 — 재밌게 하고 있었는데 갑자기 무슨 아이템 동결? 이거 생겨서 정 떨어짐

*2026-08-29*

높은 단계 키워놨더니 갑자기 동결해놓고 합성 안 하면 사라지는 시스템?? 누가 생각해낸 건지 모르겠지만 정말 최악이고요 조속히 다음 업뎃에 다시 사라지길 바랍니다

**Developer response:** 안녕하세요. 영혼식당입니다.

얼어있는 아이템은 기존에 보유하고 계신 아이템이 동결되는 것이 아니라, 콘텐츠를 통해 별도의 아이템이 추가로 생성되어 제공되는 방식입니다.

다만 해당 부분이 충분히 오해할 수 있게 보일 수 있다는 점은 저희도 인지하고 있으며, 보다 명확하게 이해하실 수 있도록 개선하겠습니다.

소중한 의견 감사합니다.

### 5/5 — 오류

*2026-08-29*

요괴 도감 레어? 에픽? 칸 가면 튕김
메일 보냈는데 안읽으셔서 리뷰로 남겨요
오류건의할 수 있는 공식 사이트나 트위터 생겼으면함

### 5/5 — 良心的

*2026-08-29*

アイテムの所持数がわかるのが特に大事⭕️ストーリー良すぎ。

### 4/5 — かわたの

*2026-08-28*

新規オーダーが1度ホームに戻らないと出てこないのが不便

### 5/5 — 정말 재밌게 하고 있습니다

*2026-08-28*

친구 추천도 받았고 머지게임도 좋아해서 깔아봤는데 스토리하며 구성, 일러스트 모든게 기대 이상이네요. 앞으로도 기대하겠습니다! (+스토리 다시보기 기능도 넣어주시면 정말 감사할 것 같아요!)

### 5/5 — 오늘 오전부터 어플 팅김 문제

*2026-08-28*

오전 10시 출석체크까지 잘 되었는데 갑자기 접속이 실패했다는 팝업이 뜨고 계속 시도했는데도 열리지 않습니다 개선 요청드립니다.
