Though, I do wish the game wouldve marinated in its good ideas a while longer.
But the game uses food as a bridge between these topics.
That cookbook is a lovely little thing as it both challenges and helps you through the small headscratchers.

Each and every recipe operates on the same real-world logic as that.
Well, dont chuck in the tomatoes first!
Those let out too much watery juice and your onions wont bronze properly afterwards.

But Venbas brief, hour-long runtime had me feeling like its food had gone to waste somewhat.
The game teaches you so many rules but rarely reuses them.
A proper culinary challenge, in other words, was missing.

Once that oil heats up, boy oh boy, your ears are going to eat good.
That extends to the incredible soundtrack, too.
It also sometimes mirrors frying sounds.

The closer the game zooms into this one specific family, the more universal it feels.
