Description
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.
So, let me guess. The question you're asking yourself right now
is "is this game for me"? Well, maybe it is.
-Do you like casual/idle games?
-Do you like games where you run a shop?
-Are you looking for a nice, relaxing story?
-Ever played any of our other games, like Oden Cart or Showa Candy Shop? (If so, thanks a bunch!)
-Are you hungry?*
*Warning: This game is not edible. Please don't try to eat your phone.
If you answered "Yes!!!!" to any of the above, well,
maybe this game's for you. Give it a download and a shot.
It's free, so it won't cost you a dime!
We very much hope it brings you a smile! Or perhaps even some tears?

Ratings and Reviews
Made me cry
I never bother to leave reviews for apps unless they’re really terrible. But this one is so good! Honestly, the ending just made me cry. I hope the developer keeps making more games like this. The storyline is really heartwarming. I kept playing because I was really curious about all of the characters’ stories and also Grandma’s story. Really tugs at your heartstrings. A huge step up from the developer’s previous games like Showa’s Candy shop, which kind of got boring after a while. Love it! Only bad thing I can say is.. I wish the game didn’t have to end! It was too good! But I suppose it has to have an ending to the storyline and characters somehow.
- energy replenishes quite fast, doesn’t take long at all. Which is fantastic!
- money is easy to earn so upgrades are quite easy to get once you’ve unlocked a number of recipes it makes money come in faster
- simple but not at all boring
- the unlocking of recipes and levelling them up gives you motivation to keep playing because you need to unlock certain recipes to unlock parts of different character’s stories.
- ads aren’t annoyingly popping up all the time
- does not require you to pay or buy anything to make the game playable or easy
- each storyline was intriguing and heartwarming
- graphics are so cute! Sound effects too.
Give it time, it’d stir your heart
When I first started this game, I found it slow, I dreaded the waiting and was on the verge of quitting it but with some spare time on my hands, and so taken by the Japanese dishes on the menu, I decided to go back to it and I kept going back. It’s a beautiful game that encourages you to progress slowly, conversations with patrons open up, relationships are forged, familial bonds are being reflected on, and in the end, food becomes a way to trigger remembrance and reflection and to dispense care and kindle closeness. A beautiful game that’s not just about serving the customers as fast as possible or reaping the highest score, the motivation here lies in working towards unraveling the narrative - a bittersweet and tender story. Highly recommend for those who enjoy something with a story and who would like for life to slow down a little, like with the game.
Must Play!
I don’t usually write reviews for games, but, this game is so very good that I just have to write one.
The game itself is easy to play, no need to use real money to make progress and it’s not bombarded with ads. It’s a feel-good kinda game, very relaxing for the player.
The story. The story is what I want to highlight from this game. The developer did a wonderful job with the stories of each character. Some are unexpected and some are very heart-touching. The ending comes with a twist and a heart-wrenching one too.
But overall, this game is definitely a must play!
Absolutely love it and hopefully, the developer will continue to create games like this one.
