Hungry Hearts Diner vs Turmoil
Hungry Hearts Diner
Hungry Hearts Diner is an exceptional time management game. The game has a whole lot of depth mainly through the many heartwarming storylines that you can uncover as you feed your customers at your diner. In this game, you play as a kindly old lady who, despite hard times, wants nothing more than to serve her customers with the best food she can muster. Set in the Showa era of Japan, the game will also introduce you to the many different types of authentic Japanese dishes and let you prepare them all.The best part about this game though is the many stories you'll reveal as each customer tells you about their lives over time. The old lady is also incredibly sweet, as she did her best to cheer up each customer. This is an aspect that is sorely lacking in most time management games, where apparently the common and only goal is to do everything as fast as you can to earn as much money as you can.
Although the game does seem a bit lacking after you've completed all quests and uncovered all plots, Hungry Hearts Diner is quite the revolutionary time management game. This game shows that storyline is as important as the gameplay and if we are honest to ourselves, many time management games out there definitely need to brush up on their storytelling skills if they were to compete with games like this one.
Turmoil
Turmoil , developed by Gamious, is a tycoon-like simulation game where you play as one of four oil miners, all of which are hoping to get rich on what is supposedly "black gold". This game offers a charming yet humorous take on the 19th century oil rush in North American in addition to letting players participate in this momentous period of time. Bid against other entrepreneurs for land that potentially contain enough oil for you to strike it rich, dowse for oil deposits and build oil rigs to mine them. There are also two companies you can sell all the oil to, and depending on the prices they offer, it's best to choose the most profitable time to sell.Of course, as you drill for and sell oil, the money you spend in town will help it develop and grow. In return, you can grab a ton of beneficial upgrades for a price, which, in turn, will help you earn even more money. Eventually, you can even buy town stocks and try your luck at becoming the mayor!
In addition to being incredibly addictive to play, Turmoil is a game that perfectly embodies the crazed mentality of the oil rush back then (and perhaps even now). Granted at not all game mechanics are realistic - it is a game after all, but if you love tycoon-like simulation games, you'll definitely enjoy playing this one.
