FANDOM NAME: Hungry Hearts Diner series (video games)
WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: Have you ever had the urge to waste time with a shop management/cooking phone game? Now, what if that management time-waster phone game not only had good gameplay mechanics, but also had cute art and a really touching and surprisingly detailed story about how families and lives can be taken apart and/or put together through memories, cooking, and coming together around food?

In Hungry Hearts Diner 1, you help our intrepid Grandma as she navigates running a diner in Showa-era Japan by herself just before Tanabata, after Grandpa became too sick to work anymore. As she works, Grandma slowly learns more about her growing cast of regulars, including her grandson Mabo, the local doctor who has an overly-healthy appetite, the neighborhood patrolman, a hostess, a shady-looking man, and more. Most of her customers have problems that they become gradually more willing to open up about as they get to know Grandma better, and she can usually think of advice or a snack that is just the thing. But who will help her with her problems...?



WHERE CAN I FIND IT (optional): Android and iphone! (free, and in-app purchases aren't necessary to play)
