The story of "Girls Made Pudding" follows two girls on a post-apocalyptic road trip as they seek ingredients to make pudding, blending themes of companionship, reflection, and subtle emotional depth. While the narrative can be somewhat confusing due to translation issues, it ultimately offers a charming and introspective experience, enhanced by the game's cozy atmosphere and character interactions.

- “A very chill game about two girls traveling through an empty world together on a quest to make pudding.”
- “What begins as a simple desire—to taste pudding—soon evolves into a profound journey filled with quiet reflection and subtle storytelling.”
- “The feel, story, dialogue, and characters are amazingly well done. It's set in a post-apocalyptic quiet and calm world, where you follow two main characters as they discover the truth of why the world has gotten so barren, meanwhile contemplating their life, relationship, and future.”
- “The narrative that the game tries to go on feels a little silly at times, but in a charming way. I'd personally say that I'm just happy that it didn't try to be overly complex where you're completely lost and confused about what even is the story they're trying to go on, and it's easy to follow while still doing well on playing with its theme and having it be 'deep' in a sense, and cerebral.”
- “It looks like a comfy post-apocalyptic road story, but there's surprisingly little focus on that angle.”
- “While it's nice to sit back and take in the scenery while reading, it does get irksome sometimes when you hit a lull where you're waiting to find the right food ingredients to progress the story.”
