Venba

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.
