Hotfix to patch Unity security vulnerability
2025-10-07 19:24 UTC · Community Announcements · Gooble
Just a quick update to patch Venba up for a security vulnerability through our game engine (Unity).
Venba is a short narrative cooking game, where you play as an Indian mom who immigrates to Canada with her family in the 1980s. Cook various dishes and restore lost recipes, hold branching conversations, and explore South Indian food in this story about family, love, and loss.

A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

Venba is now available on the Mac!Hello! Hope you've all been doing well. We're super excited to announce that Venba is now available on the Mac. A significant portion of players have been asking for this feature for a while, and we wanted to implement it sooner, but it took us a bit to work out some kinks while simultaneously developing our next game. Regardless, it's here now, and we'd love to provide one more option for players who couldn't otherwise play Venba! If you have any thoughts about Venba or want to know what we're working on next, we have a thriving community we would like you to

July Update: Biriyani Level

Hi all! We’re back with another development update. This time, we’ve wrapped up a chapter of the story featuring one of the most popular Indian dishes of all time: Biriyani!

This level is the only one in the game with no cooking component to the gameplay. Paavalan doesn’t come home on time one day, and you get to see Venba and Kavin problem solving to try and figure out where he is. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39360174/e6f4815a0b1bf67e1b122b559c43024e4b888cb0.jpg It’s also a level that has some darker aspects to the story.
