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.

A simple yet touching story
A connection between roots, and finding your own path. This game, through its storytelling, showed the connection between self discovery and your roots through the different and fun dishes that you get to cook. Bonus for adding the recipes for everything cooked in the game. Very sweet.

I just love it!
I wish I've known this game sooner. The story is touching and everyone will relate to it at some level as there are many of those in the game. The recipes look so good you want to taste them. The best part is that the game saves the finished recipes for you and you can use them in the kitchen for real. Great story, great graphics, great choice for the soundtrack. The game is very short but it is complete. Worth all the money.
