How to play Hungry Hearts Diner: A Tale of Star-Crossed Souls on Mac

Game summary

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!
