this game is outstanding, i could play this game for hours straight. my only complaint is that it isn't more bread focused. i need more bread always, every round, just bread. bread.
addicting bento box roguelike with a creepy atmosphere
Great roguelike, highly recommend.
fun & addicting.
really fun, awesome music. nice scares!
Fun game, but it crashed on me pretty early in a run, so I might refund it. I recommend it for others though. I don't get the strong parallels people draw between this and clover pit, mostly because the main gameplay here involves more decision making instead of pulling a lever, which are both fine respectively. For me, the talking got a bit repetitive.
"Clover Pit" type of the game but instead of slot machine, you place food in a bento in a puzzle-tetris style gameplay. It has secrets, unlocks and lots of different strategies to win the game so it has depth to keep you entertained and interested. For me, it has better progression and late game than other games of the genre that lose interest so early in the game. Great job!

one of, it not the funnest roguelikes I've played so far!! I was never super into Balatro and other similar-ish games, but always loved the roguelike aspects like the deck building! Saw this game on passing when looking thru the summer sale, and played it a bit on stream. Everyone ADORED it, including me! I haven't had many games that have legit made me wanna binge it after first time playing and I can happily say this is one of the first, if not the best games to make me feel that way lol. I like the mix of silly and creepy aesthetics as well as the hidden room elements to figure out the bigger story, like Inscription! And the gameplay loop is addictive right off the bat with the instant item unlocks as you do better/get more combos! 12/10 game and would recommend to literally anyone and everyone, even strangers <3
