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.

Unexpected but amazing
I didn't expect to eb throwing myself into a simply deep story at first. I thought this was just a cooking game. But it was truly an amazing time, however short it was

Beautiful Game
When Kavin said his friends wouldn't want the biryani, I couldn't help but think I would be so mad if Kavin were my friend and kept me away from delicious food. 5/5, will make every recipe.

A storytelling gem
Venba is a short but emotional story-driven game about culture, family, and acceptance told through cooking. Highly recommended

Very cute story, long cut-scenes.
Got this through the Twitch offer. I was intrigued by the art style and thought it would involve more gameplay (cooking stuff) and was a bit disappointed initially BUT the story won me over in the end :) I am an immigrant in my country and it made me text my mom telling her how I missed her.

Pretty Good
Conveys the deep story of what Indians go through living away from home, and how food can bring us closer.
