About this game

Hungry Hearts Diner is a game about a small shop at the edge of a
big city. Take on the role of the hard-working old lady struggling to
manage her family's little restaurant—and all by her lonesome, too!

Cook tasty meals for a variety of colorful characters, and learn more
about their triumphs and struggles as they chow down on your tasty,
home-cooked food. Rice balls, dumplings, tempura...you can make it all!
In fact, the more you cook, the more dishes you'll unlock.
And hey, you'll even get a chance to learn about good ol' fashioned
Japanese cuisine while you're at it! Did you know you can make
jelly out of seaweed? Because I didn't!

Of course, the people who visit your diner all have a story to tell.
And what makes people more talkative than a full belly?
Feed your customers until they feel like sitting back and spinning
you a yarn or two!

But not every story is a happy one, and not every ending
joyous. Stay tuned for some twists and turns!

Story
------------------------------------------
On a tiny side street in a nameless little neighborhood sits an
old Japanese diner. Things are quiet here; old-fashioned
you might say. But of course they are. It's Showa era Japan,
and the television is just starting to come into vogue.

Slide open the screen door and you'll see a kindly old lady
hard at work behind the counter. Her husband's been sick
for a while, and she's had to run the place on her own.
It's hard work, but she's a tough one, and she gets by.

Sit down at one of the worn wooden tables, and close your
eyes. Thunk thunk goes the steady beat of a knife chopping
veggies. Hisss; the sound of meat sizzling in a pan.
Swish swish; a whisk beating eggs.
The soothing sounds of a simple kitchen.

Sit here long enough, and all that tension will just flow
right out of you. So come on in, order a hot meal, and take
a load off. The peace'll do you good.

Ratings and reviews

Hey you! If you're searching for a game to take off stress or even anxiety: I promise. This is what you're looking for. The game has such a beautiful story. The art design is simplistic but it has so much spark to it; it truly adds to the relaxing mood the overall game provides. Not only did the game calm me in times of stress BUT I also learnt the names of a whole lot of dishes...and maybe teared up as I learnt the stories of every character that came to the diner. 10000/100!

Tried the game as it was available on playpass. It's a short semi-idle game (no offline gains, active clicking required) which can reasonably be completed in a few days. The gameplay loop revolves around unlocking new recipes to progress character dialogues, which gradually entwine together to form a delightfully quaint story. Overall a lovely game, despite minor peeves like the lack of adjustable volume. Would reccomend to anyone with time to kill and patience to read dialogues :)

This is one of the best game I've ever played! The characters' movements are a little awkward, yes, but it is completely outweighed by the wonderful storylines. Each character really feels like their own person with their own struggle and their own story. And what amazing stories they are. They were so good I was driven to tears. Bravo, authro, and thank you for this masterpiece.
