Shin Omoide no Shokudou Monogatari: Kokoro ni Shimiru Showa Series

Experience the bustling streets of 1970s Tokyo through your very own eatery in Hungry Hearts Diner! Become the boss of a small, cozy restaurant serving up classic Japanese dishes. This casual restaurant management game is not only about running a diner, but it's also jam-packed with heartwarming tales to tell. Catch up with old friends and meet new ones along the way.

Grandma has just moved back into her old diner, and she needs your help to get it back in tip-top shape. With bills to pay and a diner to run, it's not easy to do everything on your own. Fortunately, Sue is there to lend a hand as your first-ever hired worker. She may be inexperienced, but she's a lifesaver and is even willing to run deliveries for you.

The diner serves a wide variety of classic Japanese dishes, and each comes in generous portions. From simple bowls of rice to piping-hot beef croquettes fresh out of the fryer, you'll have plenty to choose from. And if you're lucky, you might even get to hear Grandma's garrulous stories, which will soon make you as chatty as her other regulars.

One of the unique features of the game is its storytelling. Everyone has their share of troubles, but after a few bowls of miso soup or so, they'll open up and reveal their stories. Some will be joyous, while others will be sad, but all will undoubtedly touch your heart.

Hungry Hearts Diner is perfect for those who enjoy casual and idle games, as well as managing shops. It has a nice, relaxing story that will warm your heart and may even bring tears to your eyes. If you've played and enjoyed games like Oden Cart, Showa Candy Shop, or The Kids We Were, then you'll definitely love this one too.

So why not give it a shot? It's completely free and won't cost you a dime. Just remember, the game is not edible, so please don't try to eat your phone!
