The tale of first generation immigrants coming to a new country with high hopes and aspirations is an old one but not one that has been extensively covered in videogames.

Venba, a cozy game about a Tamil family immigrating to Canada, is a wonderful experience that beautifully captures the nuances of immigrant life: the longing for the familiar, the struggle to find your place in a new society, and the gradual process of finding a balance between your old and new identities.

Venba is a gentle reminder of the importance of our heritage and a touching tribute to the resilience of immigrant families. Through cooking dishes with the matriarch, you see the bond that develops between the family. This game is food for the soul.
