What does the future look like for games set in Canada? We asked Canadian devs

One of the neatest recent trends in the Canadian gaming industry has been a rise in games that…

Decided to randomly download this game and play thinking it’s one of those casual cooking games. I definitely did not expect the story to make me feel so emotional on a random Saturday morning.

Venba is a beautiful game and leaves you feeling so good. I highly recommend it if you’ve got a spare hour! It’s also free on PS Plus.

This Game Sure Looks A Lot Like Venba

I'm on something of a tear here, and given I was awake at 4:30 I decided to start another new game.

And that new game was #Venba, which is about an Indian family living in Canada who's story is told through the creation of delicious foods.

I don't imagine it's too long, so I should have it finished tonight or tomorrow, but if you're looking for something that lets to experience a tiny slice of another culture (with a tale of parenthood and acceptance thrown in for good measure) then check it out.

Right.

I think I'm done with #AstroBot. I might pop on every now and again to play with my kids, but for the most part of putting that in the 'finished' column.

Which means I need a new game to play.

I'm really thinking it might be time to take a much awaited look at #DemonsSouls. I've not touched that yet and I'm somewhat hesitant to play #DarkSouls2 right now.

Could go back in time and play some #SuperMarioBros3, or maybe take a look at #DrillDozer?

Or then there's my Steamdeck. I've got a keyboard and Dock on the way today so I'm excited to play some #TheRootreesAreDead at some point...but I've already got a frighteningly long backlog to clear and so I think it's gonna be either #Venba or #BombRushCyberfunk.

So yeah. What say you good people?

Total NewPlays: 379

Venba is a 2D narrative-based cooking game.

The game tells the story of a Tamil couple, Venba and her husband Paavalan, who have emigrated from Tamil Nadu, to make a new life in Canada.

Throughout the game, you proceed by preparing dishes from Venba's mother's tattered cookbook, frequently needing to solve what are, effectively, simple puzzles to complete each recipe.

There is so much that I'd like to say about this game, but to do so would spoil many of the emotional beats of the narrative.

It's not a long game; I completed it in a single sitting, and collected most of the achievements along the way.

Venba is a lovely, and occasionally heart-wrenching game; it is:

5: Excellent

Today I finished Venba. It was an emotional and heartwarming journey and I absolutely loved this game. It's a little on the short side, but if that doesn't bother you, I recommend it 110%. Go check it out.

リリース前にデモ触って気になってた #venba をXbox Game Passでやっとプレイ。
スキマ時間にできる感じの短さ（実績のために2周近くして2時間ちょい）だけど、お話はなかなかに深く、移民1世と2世のそれぞれの苦労や、複雑な親子関係などなど、ほろりとする内容。
実家に電話したくなるし、インド料理食べたくなるし、南インド料理つくってみたくなりますｗ
金額からしてもうちょっと長く遊べるとよかったかなと思うけど、心に残る短編を読んだような感覚に浸れるゲームでした。

REVIEW: Venba Cooks Up An Emotional, Cosy Feast

Just finished playing Venba

A short and sweet game about Indian culture, and immigration. Watching a family quickly evolve through it and using the lens of food and cooking.

Super quick to play, and on game pass, so very little excuses to skip it 😄

Hello i'm playing the lovely cooking game #Venba, and then doing some #Celeste any% gaming! (practice or runs, unsure yet) https://twitch.tv/caitelatte

Looks adorable: “#Venba,” new game about #Tamil immigrants in Canada trying to recreate their lost recipes while their kid melts away in the melting pot. With Tamil film music and real cooking foley. On Steam.

Watched my partner play and finish #Venba in one sitting yesterday. It's on Game Pass, it's about a diaspora family, focusing on the mother and her life throughout the years as she makes food to bond with her husband and son. Very sweet, definitely recommend.

I'm so sure I played more than this... but it was mindblowing. Please play this game. #venba

Calmed down a bit after finishing the main story. And making food. I am 750% sure anyone who plays this game goes off to eat right after.

Trying to grab all achievements and see all dialogue options now. The remaining achievements are secret so I can just guess at them.

Today: Elisse Can't Make Biryani Without Crying and Other Stories #Venba

First gen immigrant (not Indian) but crying at every moment of this game, never mind me. #Venba

The music in #Venba is already making me tear up and I've been in the first level for 60 seconds.

Po czym poznać dobrą grę? Po tym że po jej skończeniu masz od razu ochotę przejść do działania - w przypadku tej gry - zadzwonić do mamy i iść do kuchni zacząć gotować coś więcej niż tylko "butter chickena".

Gra o której mówię to #venba

Już sam opis na Steam sugeruje ze mamy do czynienia z czymś bardzo oryginalnym:

"Venba to krótka narracyjna gra o gotowaniu, w której wcielasz się w indyjską mamę, która w latach 80. wraz z rodziną imigruje do Kanady. Gracze będą gotować różne potrawy i przywracać utracone przepisy, prowadzić rozgałęzione rozmowy i odkrywać w tej historii o rodzinie, miłości, stracie i nie tylko."

Gra wyjątkowa lecz niestety (zgodnie z opisem) bardzo krótka, co moim zdaniem powoduje ze cena (70PLN) wydaje się troche zbyt wygórowana. Mimo tego szczerze polecam ją wypróbować.

PS. Gra nie ma jeszcze przyznanego oficjalnego statusu kompatybilności ze #SteamDeck ale zaufajcie mi że działa jak złoto.

Last week I played this story game called Venba where you learn how to make Tamil dishes and I ended up ordering Indian food for dinner

I want more games like it. It’s a short playthrough but the charming art and moving immigrant story made the price worth it. I want a version for Filipino food

I hear Venba is out on the Switch today yayyyyyyyy! Cooking and family stories.

I also hear it is not that long and tbh I could use smaller experiences.
