Such a great game. I can’t stress how good it is. Was delighted finding some recipes I had actually made before. An immigrant story told with food.

OMG CBC covered Venba and it's mobile ripoff clone story

They actually got a comment from the Sofra people who of course denied it as theft.

(2/2) Also an ENORMOUS thank you to whoever put in all the effort to assemble that in-game cookbook 🙏

I've been on a bit of a cooking odyssey this year (starting from absolute zero and aiming for glory), so I plan to peruse it like a FIEND. Might stream my first attempt at layered biryani!

(1/2) Just finished Venba by @visaigames.bsky.social! Great little package, very poignant and grounded story, strongly echoes sentiments I heard from various friends all through adolescence. Beautiful depictions of food and a bopping soundtrack. ~90 minutes, EASY recommend, hats off to the dev team
