Food-arranging puzzler Neko Bento coming to Switch

If you’re looking for a calming experience on Switch, you might be interested in Neko Bento. RedDeerGames will be publishing it on November 15, 2024.

Neko Bento is a food-arranging puzzle game. Players will need to use logical thinking and planning for a huge number of meals in cat bento of various sizes.

Here’s some additional information:

Attention please, we are looking for talented and willing kitchen helpers!

Responsibilities? The sheer pleasure! Arranging “puzzle” meals and fitting all the food elements into bento dishes of various volumes.

Remuneration – pure pleasure, lots of fun and plenty of satisfaction!

In Neko Bento, players will be tasked with filling a puzzle bento box with prepared meal parts so that each part of the meal finds its place. Whether it’s carrots, squid, sushi, rice or eggs, people’s preferences vary and so do the sizes of their boxes!

Players will need to plan ahead to make sure that by rotating and arranging the food elements, they will all fit in.

And to top it all off, here’s an interesting fact. Neko Bento is an unusual Japanese art of arranging food in a special box called a ‘ bento’, so that the individual pieces of food are formed into the shape of a cat, which is Japanese for ‘neko’. The name ‘ neko bento’ is used in the game in a slightly different sense, because the puzzle food is prepared by a cat. And what a charming one!
