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.

Venba game
I really liked this game and the cooking featured and the story it explored. I enjoyed extra little details like getting to scroll back through phone messages even though that wasn't needed for gameplay, it added to the game world for me. I liked that the cooking part was intuitive and I only got stuck for a little while and figured it out after a bit.

Great STORY... Not so much of a game
This is a really touching story that makes you want to know what is happening with the characters. However, the actual "play" part of the game is very much "click whatever is now highlighted" and doesn't give any opportunity for skill or thought, or really even any ability to make choices that aren't on a rail. I really wanted to give it 5 stars as the story had all the emotions and I was there with the characters, but the lack of any actual gameplay means that I really can't.
