Telling an authentic story is at the heart of Venba, which focuses on the mother of a family of Indian immigrants to Canada in the '80s. With a new trailer at the Wholesome Games Showcase, the team at Visai Games dropped the release date for its debut narrative: July 31.
Told looking through the lens of the meals her family makes together, Venba promises that you’ll cook "authentic food from regional South Indian cuisine" and from the lovely stylized art, the recipes already look ready to eat. Venba’s cookbook was damaged in the move to Canada, so you’ll have to puzzle out the mangled recipes and missing ingredients to answer the eternal question: "What’s for dinner?" Every part of Venba looks like a heartfelt love letter to south Indian cuisine and culture—from the meticulously recreated food to the Tamil music-inspired radio you can pop on in-game.
