Don't Let It Starve treats bento packing as a spatial puzzle with roguelite stakes. Players choose a box based on their funds, then place ingredients of varying shapes onto a grid to earn points and trigger combo bonuses. Large ingredients score high but are hard to fit, and leftover gaps must be filled efficiently. Each round requires meeting a score quota set by the Chef, a monster on the other side of the kitchen wall. Clearing a quota earns a meal with special effects that boost later attempts. The publisher is Black Lantern Collective. The game is available on Steam for 920 yen.
