-Story-
200 years after first contact, humanity is still trying to find their place in a galaxy full of far more advanced and established species.
One such human, our protagonist, has recently been laid off from their corporate job on Mars when news reaches them; their distant aunt Cassiopia has passed away suddenly, and she would like one of her relatives to take over her restaurant on the distant deep space station Hesperides.
The protagonist decides to take a leap of faith. They may have never left their home start system of Helios, but surely there must be something (or maybe someone) better out there waiting for them.
When they reach the station they find themselves welcomed by a vibrant, multi-species community of eccentric individuals who are only too happy to welcome the new owner of their favourite place to eat.

such a fun game so far!
Def enjoyable dating sim the appetizer bit is sorta buggy but everything else is fun I like all of the love interests the lore is cute as well all the species workings and humans being able to eat almost anything
Приятная и визуально, и по игровым механикам в целом история. Приятный темп повествования, сама механика готовки довольна логична, правда у меня была пара рецептов, где я всё же логику не уловила и пришлось пользоваться подсказками, ну да ладно. В целом довольно необычная история про знакомства с чужими культурами и традициями. Жалко, конечно, что не закончена и ещё ждать минимум до лета-осени финальной версии, но хорошего всегда приходится ожидать, затаив дыхания. Надеюсь, что у разработчиков всё получится! Всех благ, удачи и крепкого здоровья!
Very cute and cosy writing plus lovely art. Excited to play more!
I played the demo in may and I am obsessed since. The artstyle is lovely, each character have a unique personnality and dynamic with the MC. The voice acting is on point and is a perfect addition to create the in game immersion, and don't get me started with the soft background music and obviously the food!! The worldbuilding seems to be very complexe and I can't wait to know more!
It is very cozy and I love all of the characters!
Writing my review after my first session of milky way diner but already 100% certain that I love this. The characters are so sweet and its such a warm and cozy time playing this game. I adore the conversations and VAs, and the cooking system feels like a little puzzle. Very fun!
I just love it so much!!! The art is precious and so comfy to look at, the characters are well rounded, the voice acting is great - I simply cannot wait for the next chapter!
It's been a very enjoyable and lovely game so far! There are hints of characters' backgrounds and the sci-fi worldbuilding is super interesting. I love all the characters and was very conflicted when I had to pick a choice favoring one over the other. The cooking is fun too and I like throwing ingredients together to try to make new recipes. I'm really looking forward to seeing more of the story!
