Venba

Venba launched on July 31, 2023 as a self-described "short and sweet" narrative cooking game. After launch, the developer announced and then shipped one major free update — the Cookbook DLC — which arrived on March 13, 2024. This added real-life recipes for every in-game dish, a new in-game radio, and four previously unreleased songs. This represented the one planned post-launch content addition the developer had teased in October 2023. Since the Cookbook shipped, the developer's focus has clearly shifted. A May 30, 2025 post announced that their next game (Game 2) is now in active development with a new publishing partner. The post also hinted at "some exciting Venba news coming soon," but the only subsequent Venba update was a Mac port announced July 28, 2025 — that "exciting news" was almost certainly the Mac release, not new story content. A further hotfix on October 7, 2025 patched a Unity security vulnerability but added no content. There is no unreleased DLC listed on the store, no roadmap or announcement of further Venba content, and the developer has explicitly stated they are now building a new game. The game is complete as of the Cookbook update on March 13, 2024.
