Pretty good. Story was nice. A great look into the difficulties of specifically raising a child as in immigrant. Gameplay is simple but honestly made me hungry the whole time. I originally was going to say that it's not really worth the 15$ but when I realized that there are a bunch of DETAILED authentic indian recipes I quickly rescinded that. I'm not sure how good the recipes are but I'll be sure to try them. This game was made with love.

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.

很暖心但是又很现实有着淡淡忧伤的一个游戏,每一道菜背后都带着其代表的文化背景,完全能够理解游戏里想表达的那种移民对于身份认同以及离开家乡开始新生活的艰辛,因为游戏只节选了大概的时间点,因此这种移民一代父母自身以及养育的二代子女对于自己的身份认同的探索挣扎方面表现得比较浅薄。很喜欢其作为烹饪游戏的游戏机制,不像如cooking stimulator或者cooking mama以及overcook那种烹饪游戏,游戏里的食谱和现实的有强关联 很喜欢这一点。
It's so sweet.
I really enjoyed playing Venba because, as a Tamilan, I could connect with the culture, food, and traditions shown in the game. It felt familiar and emotional, especially the Tamil family moments. The game beautifully shows our culture in a simple and meaningful way. Overall, I loved the experience!
Beautiful Game! Yes it only takes a couple hours... but the recipes as simple memory and puzzle games are fun and educational. The story is very touching
Favourite indie (TAMIL) game ❤️ Devs and team literally COOKED 🔥
