'Venba' Is The Asian Inspired Cooking Mama Alternative You've Been Waiting For

Part of me is over cooking games.
But a bigger part of me really appreciates the South Asian setting of this one. One to keep eyes on for sure.

I will pick the game if there is a physical release.

Um, isn't Cooking Mama already the Asian inspired Cooking Mama? Being Japanese and all.

Anyhow, glad that this exists for those interested. Not my jam, but it has an interesting art direction.

What a way to start the presentation... with an absolute whimper. Guess it got my expectations in check early doors, which turned out to be pretty valuable.

I love the art style, music and atmosphere, feels like they're building an interesting story around a simple gameplay premise (like "florence").

For me, this depends on how fun the cooking aspect is. The story and art look really nice, but I hope the cooking is fun and interesting.

Very British to say Asian when you mean South Asian and forget about East Asia

@Taya That was the thing, it looked very nice and wholesome, but I didn't get a single whiff of fun from what I saw.

...and some Chemical X, added accidentally.

I love games from other cultures and food games so I am super interested in this one.

Something like this needs a more flattering art style. This looks really bad.

I'll keep an eye out. It's a charming concept.

I have a feeling that Super Rare (or similar) would issue a physical release for something like this too, which would be even better.

This definitely looks like an interesting treat, especially since the only Cooking Mama we've actually gotten on Switch got delisted for some false crypto garbage...

There’s not enough cooking games, good ones anyway, I wish there was more, I will keep my eye on it to see if it catches my interest.

I've been pretending like I'm good at making Indian food for around 15 years so this will either inspire me to get better or just make me really hungry.
