I really want to boost this indie game called Venba that is currently in development at Visai Games.

It’s a narrative game about cooking, where you play as an Indian mom who has moved to Canada in the 1980s. Your recipe book is damaged, so you’ll have to restore those lost recipes, while also having branching conversations with your family, and of course, cooking Indian food.

There’s a Steam page for the game up here, and here’s the developers’ Twitter.

This is the sort of game that can easily fly under the radar, so please help boost an original game with a unique premise!

Chess isn’t always competitive. Chess can also be beautiful. It was the board I noticed first. It’s an entire world of just 64 squares. I feel safe in it. I can control it. I can dominate it. And it’s predictable, so if I get hurt, I only have myself to blame.
