General information
Diner Dash: Hometown Hero is a singleplayer bird's-eye view time management and strategy game in the Diner Dash series.
The game would later release for Steam on August 12, 2009.
At the end of 2020, Adobe Flash was discontinued, which was used for the storyboard cutscenes. When attempting to play the game, it would crash due to incompatibility. It was later fixed by deleting the cutscene files; bypassing the forced restriction.[1]
