Venba
Vibes: A cooking sim that looks straight out of a Jhumpa Lahiri novel
Availability: Spring 2023 on Windows and Nintendo Switch
Venba promises to explore the lives of Indian immigrants in Canada in the 1980s. Taking on the role of the mother, you’ll cook up some authentic Southern Indian dishes and spend time with the fam.
The game has a beautiful hand-drawn art style that doesn’t fail to grab one’s attention. You’ll probably want to take some notes on these recipes though, because I’m going to bet it’ll be hard not to build up an appetite as you spend time with this family.
