Hungry Hearts Diner

Wish it was longer!

😍😍😍😍

Ordinarily I steer clear of idle games. I get hypnotized watching timers tick down and lose a lot of time that way. This game is unique in that it’s a manageable size though. You can beat it in under a month, no money needed with little effort. So why play it? Because it’s genuinely got a beautiful story of a sweet old Japanese grandma talking to her diner customers and helping to change their lives with her cooking. If you like other games like va-11 hall-a or coffee talk, or if you’re a fan of something like midnight diner, you owe it to yourself to give it a try.

I played this around when it first came out and couldn't truly understand the message of the game like the restaurant owner's grandson. This game is encapsulates the longing for family and pains of growing up. Though it tackles such tough issues such as feeling like you can't go back, it still feels like a cozy blanket and now I can empathize with each customer that we get to follow along as we craft their favorite foods and leaves me rooting for all of them. It's a very simple game, but I enjoy it very much and leaves me wanting to try harder and making the most of the moments I have with my loved ones. Beautiful crafted, would recommend!

Game has potential, but the banner ads at the bottom of the screen that keep flashing “update” are very annoying

I played this game before, but didn’t really finish it because I wanted to have more space so I install it but now I have a new phone. I reinstalled the game and played it and I think this game is really comforting to play to me it is I love the different dishes, description of the dishes, I love the aesthetic and I loved that everyone except for the working man and the blue color man had personal problems of their own and I wasn’t really expecting the plot twist in the end and another thing I like is the heart system if you’re good at saving your hearts and not doing too much you can play this game for two hours or just one and if you ran out of heart, you can just wait until 10 minutes or 30 minutes and you get some of your hearts back overall I think this game is really fun, comforting and had a pretty good story to me I think .Keep doing what you’re doing we need more games like these

Time to beat: around 7-8hrs for complete menu. Story completes at around 5-6hr mark. I like the narrative of this game which focuses on family. I wish more games are like this. The controls and mechanics are simple enough that you will master it within the hour of playing.You have certain customers that has certain food favorites. You progress by making food that they like or crave at the moment. Menu expands as you meet the number of required level of certain food by making x amount of times before getting a new item on the menu. What keeps you playing is completing each person’s story which there is about 9. After 7-8hrs, you will fall in love with this game. My question is, did it have an auto save feature? Cuz there is none on the menu. Because of this, I had it running in the background. Not a biggie since it is a short game. Relatability-wise, there isn’t. But you will likely recommend this to a friend.

lovely game ! there are ads but not too much and very fairly put. this game is so wholesome and very beautiful as well. I recommend it for anyone that needs a break from the harsh realities of life.

i was this game, but grandma convincing officer hiro to break his sobriety in the wake of a traumatic event was pretty ridiculous. if someone has a problem, they can’t just choose to “have a drink every once in a while” because “it will do good”

I absolutely adore this game. It’s so cozy and fun. All of the characters have compelling backstories and personalities. I love this game so much that I have reset the app data to play it over and over again multiple times since I first played it in 2017.
