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.

Despite describing itself as an \"idle game\" I found that it could easily be played through in a few hours, with few breaks or even slow-downs being forced by the mechanics. On the other hand, you can walk away from the game at any point and come back with very little impact on play. Personally, I loved the story, which plays out through the conversations triggered by satisfying customers. I will definitely be downloading the sequel! Really great game! Its challenging because you have to pay for the food while trying to save up to upgrade your restaurant. Sadly, there are ads but they aren\'t annoying and they only pop-up every once in a while. I love how you get paid a few coins after watching a random ad. Overall, the game and the storyline is really unique and cute. ♡
