Hungry Hearts Diner

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 y
