The Diner is a short visual novel created by Vinaera in the course of a week. It features 19 year old Akano Hiroshima, who works as a waiter in a diner that you decide to visit after you get paid. Afterwards, he takes you back to his house and your choices decide the outcome! :)
This game is interesting and the art style is really cute too but it's hard for me to get the true ending, i've been playing for an hour to get the true ending and still can't reach it yet. I only got 3/5 ending. I really want to get the true ending but im gonna try it later. Is okay to get any hint?
I really like your game and your art style. I found the true ending to be a bit hard to get and had to look through the files to find out how to get it. Other than that, I really love your characters and how cute they look. Great game!
Thanks for your feedback! I've been told by multiple people that the true end is hard to obtain, so I'll be sure to make those types of endings easier to get in my future projects :)
Thank you so much! Yeah, I've been told the true end is a pain to get lol. I'll probably make a walkthrough soon and post a link to it on the game page.
I actually made this account solely to comment on this visual novel. It's different from most visual novels on this site, in that choices outside the game matter, such as name or game settings. I haven't run into any technical issues and the GUI is simple, yet pleasing.
*After playing through the game a few times, checking out your ToyHouse, and playing through a few more times, I decided to try a different name. Akano looks a bit uncomfortable, hm? I haven't yet found an ending affected by the name change, but I'll keep trying. So far I've found 3/5(Withdrawal, Saw it All, Defended Yourself) endings, but as I mentioned, I haven't found anymore.
I actually did a thorough search through your DA, to see if there was another clue, but either I'm too dense to see the clues, you're good at hiding them, or I'm grasping at straws. I would like to mention that your art style is unique and definitely something I'm a fan of. I adore your shading style and way of coloring.
This is a visual novel that I'd recommend, and definitely one of the better ones out there, I'm just having a difficult time with the endings(you may not have the same issue).
I hope you have a wonderful day and continue to pursue your interests :) <3
Ah thank you so much for this comment! I didn't think somebody would like my game this much to do something like this. The name you choose at the beginning doesn't affect your endings, and is only there as a little easter egg to show how Akano gets uncomfortable at the mention of a certain person.
To get another ending, you progress towards the Defended Yourself ending, but divert at the final choice. (You my have gotten this ending by the time I'm responding to this, but just in case you haven't). And I admit the final ending is hard. It is the "true" ending, and requires very specific dialogue choices in order to be obtained. I can post a walkthrough for this if it is deemed to difficult to obtain.
(By the way, the chat with Akano when he sits with you at the table doesn't matter choice-wise, it's just there as a bonding moment. However choices like introducing your name do matter).

That's okay! These types of games don't appeal to everybody :)
Quite enjoyed this wee tale :)

I've had multiple people tell me that the true end is hard to get, so I'm sorry about that! I decided to make a walkthrough which can be found here :)

I'm so glad you like my game!
After a bit of trial and error, I have successfully evaded death(at least for now). Alva is adorable, by the way.
