This and every other Pro feature is free until October 20, 2026. A free account is all it takes.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Incredibly touching and relevant story. Beautiful short game.
Venba is an incredibly heartwarming and sad story. I cannot say I relate to the characters at all because I've never lived something close to that, but I can understand how they feel and what's happening. It's pretty short, but it's very good. You will enjoy this beautiful moment and the fun recipes is a little break from the reading. Added bonnus, they actually give the recipes made so you can make them at home! Very cool :)
My wife loved this game! I had gotten the game It Takes Two for us to play together but that used to give her anxiety, which I didn't understand cuz she claimed to have played PUBG on mobile with her friends. Eitherways, Venba was a fun game for her being a North Indian and married to me (a south indian) cuz a lot of the dishes in the game were recipes she wanted to learn already. One complaint though, the game ended too quickly!
I cried thrice
so cute!!!!
I love cooking. The recipe book is very innovative and will keep me coming back. I enjoyed how short the game was too. If it had been longer, I don't think it would have left such a strong impression. The story is very well written, and is helped by the creative art direction and music. Kavan in particular was written very well, and captures a lot of the struggles that people born in 2 different cultures experience. I hope we get some more cooking inspired games similar to Venba. Also ran quite well on my laptop.
I have never took the effort to write or even talk about any game but this one changes that. I cried my eyes out at the end it was so beautiful and I wish and hope everyone gets to experience this beauty at least once. Lots of love to the creators and the team!!
