Definitely did not expect this game to make such a compelling narrative which spans decades that is equal parts relatable, emotional and gut punching in a short amount of time while maintaining a simplistic and minimal cooking mechanic which does not overstay it's welcome. Pure cozy game at it's finest. 10/10
very good

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 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 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.

indian food supremacy
Petit jeu très mignon, on en apprend un peu sur la culture indienne, les difficultés d'être immigré dans un pays occidental et pas mal sur la cuisine. La DA est géniale et super adaptée aux plats, ça donne carrément faim ! Les devs ont bien saisi pourquoi on achète le jeu : après l'avoir fini, vous aurez accès à des recettes très détaillées de plats indien ! Le jeu est TRES court, donc à prendre en solde, mais SURTOUT ne soyez pas des bâtards à demander un remboursement puisqu'il se finit en moins de 2h.
Playing Venba was a cozy, relatable experience for me. The sound design is crisp and immersive. The animation is smooth and the art style is eye-catching and vibrant. I finished this game in under two hours, so if you have a back-log of games like me, this is a quick item to check off your list. I love how the developers included the actually recipes of each dish so you can recreate them yourself.
美术和配乐我要打10000000分,夯爆了！手绘风太好看了，音效也很棒，一边听着油的滋滋声一边流口水中谁懂！它是真的想教会我做菜，每一道菜都对应真实的菜谱。假装烹饪实则视觉小说， 剧情为主做菜为辅，主要是透过菜谱回忆一家人的移民生活中的辛酸。但是一上来我就眉头紧皱，就算妻子病了还要起来给丈夫做饭...做一大桌子菜儿子还不回家吃...太短了，原价不值，结束的好突然，两小时打完，剧情无法跳过，补成就的时间很长（主要是我老做错)。 - 游戏时长：主线2h / 全成就5.5h 通关日期：2026-06-25
Deeply moving and sweet game. I'll be thinking of this for a long time.
Cooking Mama aint got anything on Venba. Amazing heartwarming writing. It put a lot of things into perspective for me.
好玩
