Venba is a heartfelt narrative cooking game that tells the story of an Indian immigrant family living in Canada during the 1980s. Players step into the role of Venba, a mother trying to reconnect with her culture, family, and memories through traditional South Indian recipes. Each dish acts as a storytelling device, blending interactive cooking mechanics with deeply emotional moments.
The gameplay focuses on preparing authentic meals by following handwritten recipe cards, where missing steps symbolize lost traditions and fragmented memories. As the story progresses, players restore these recipes while navigating themes of identity, generational conflict, love, and belonging. Conversations with family members evolve based on your actions, shaping the emotional journey. The game’s hand-drawn art style and expressive character animations enhance its intimacy, while the soothing soundtrack complements its reflective tone. Venba is a short but powerful experience that uses food as a bridge between past and present, offering players a meaningful and culturally rich narrative unlike any other.
