Description

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 lovely quick game to play.

This beautiful visual novel combines cooking and storytelling to truly draw you in with small dialogue choices for connection with the characters and join in their world and their journey in life.

This is a super cute and wholesome game. I played it in around an hour, I enjoyed every minute. The story is deep even if its a short one. I think its a nice game for when we need a moment to get into a story and somehow feel melancoly.
