What players say
Inbento is a really cute little game about putting together bento boxes and solving some tiny puzzles. The puzzles are easy as pie, all very simple and relaxed, although every now and then one or two will make you think for a little bit. Nothing too serious, though; it's a very gentle experience. Even so, it manages to keep you entertained for a while, and it's the kind of game that's great when you have a few...
Such a cute and cosy game! It feels very unique as far as puzzle games go. The difficulty scaling is good; it's nice to take a break and come back with fresh eyes for the next solve! The art is adorable and even if the story has no words, it's conveyed well. Great game, thank you!
Very cozy puzzle game with simple mechanics that layer into eventual complex puzzles. Great atmosphere, extremely low resources required, and challenging enough to be worth revising.
