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


Cook (and learn!) authentic dishes from regional South Indian cuisine

 

 
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!

Discover a heartfelt story of family, love, and loss

 

 
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.

Jam to catchy tunes inspired by Tamil music

 

 
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!

Feast your eyes on delicious visuals

 

 
Venba's warm, stylized art brings the game's food and story to life! So good you can almost taste it.

A Fun Peak Into Indian Culture

Overview: This game is a cooking game with some puzzle elements, but the hint system makes it easy to get past the harder puzzles. Pros: 1. There are dialog choices that allow you to experience the story in different ways depending on your choices. 2. The cooking is simplified and is still entertaining. 3. The story is easy to understand and is relatable. 4. The game doesn't overstay its welcome with how much time it takes to complete. Verdict: If you want a short game that shows you some aspects of Indian culture, then this game is a must-buy.
