Got this game after playing "a little to the left", thinking it would be a cute little cooking-Mama-ish game. Did not expect the absolute punch this game packs. I was crying 12 minutes into this game and did not stop for the entire playthrough. Beautiful game, short and sweet but woooow, did not expect it to hit that hard. Super adorable artstyle too and I love that they put the recipes for you to remake at home1 10/10 would buy again.

Short cute game about cooking. This game really gave me an appreciation of Indian food, and the overarching story of multiculturism and immigration was touching. I played this game and now I'm hungry. Recommended to anyone with an appreciation for food from other cultures.

Very deep story about the difference (and gap) that can appear between first and second generation immigrants. A game about family, mental load, sacrifice, generation gap, and food! I deeply enjoyed the experience <3
