Venba is a narrative cooking game about family, love, and loss. Play as Venba, a South Indian immigrant mother connecting with her son through the language of food. It is a short and sweet cinematic experience that you can enjoy in a 1 to 2-hour sitting
Idlis, dosas, and biriyani! Whether you’re a new or regular enjoyer of South Indian cuisine, there’s something delectable to discover Venba's cooking puzzles. As you piece together a tattered recipe book, cook authentic dishes inspired by real-life cuisines. Once you've cooked them in-game, try cooking them in real life with the brand-new in-game Cookbook!
As you restore lost recipes, discover the story of a family over the years as they grow and change through a journey of love and loss. Join a mother, father, and their son as they reckon with culture, self-discovery, and acceptance.
Move over lo-fi beats! Cook along to Venba's unique original soundtrack, inspired by Tamil music throughout the ages. And when you can't get enough, return to the newly-added in-game radio to listen to the OST on-demand!
Venba's warm, stylized art brings the game's food and story to life! So good you can almost taste it.

Very nostalgic and excellent game
When I started playing the game, everything from the start was relatable in my life. In the mid game, I started crying as I stay away from family I miss them so much. Whenever I return to home, my mom alaways makes me something special (same as venba). The background score and the songs are sooo authentic to tamil music. Great job team.

too much dialogue
it's more a movie/book than a game

Almost a perfect game
I loved this game so much, the cooking aspect was super fun, the story telling was amazing and all in all it was an extremely good time. My only complaint is that certain sections go on for longer than they feel they need to and certain aspects of cooking (especially the end) feel rather repetative. Otherwise, 9/10 would play again.
