Don't Let It Starve

Don't Let It Starve is a roguelite placement puzzle about packing bento boxes for a monster chef, released on Steam for PC at 920 yen.

Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated Jun 18

Don't Let It Starve, a roguelite placement puzzle from publisher Black Lantern Collective, launched on Steam on June 13, 2026. The game was created by Eduardo Scarpato. Players fill bento boxes to satisfy a monster called the Chef, working under time pressure with ingredients that have different shapes and trigger combo bonuses. The packing mechanic uses Tetris-like placement and inventory management inspired by Resident Evil 4.

The game blends bento-making with survival horror, applying a quota-driven roguelite structure similar to CloverPit. Unlike slot-machine randomness, players directly place ingredients into the bento box. The game is available on PC via Steam for 920 yen, with a 15% discount offered until June 20.
