Dining Zoo vs Hungry Hearts Diner
Dining Zoo
Dining Zoo is a café simulation game where you set up your very own virtual café. Purchase ingredients from the ingredients market, cook up a variety of mouth-watering cuisines from all around the world and serve them up to your hungry customers. Expand your café by clearing neighboring land and buying them up. Decorate your café to beautify the place and don’t forget to keep an eye out for the food inspector for he is not one for waiting around. Serve him quickly and you may just get a higher Milinche (a.k.a. Michelin) score. There’s even a social element to the game where players can trade food and ingredients with each other.Giving the usual time management café games a wide berth, Dining Zoo is a café simulation game that has a more relaxing gameplay and is perfect to be played in short bursts throughout the day. If you’re looking for a café simulation game that’s not too demanding, Dining Zoo is the game for you. After all, even in a world where every human being has been turned into walking and talking animals, people will still need to eat... and this is where you come in!
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.
