This game is a narrative experience more than a game. It follows the story of an immigrant couple from southern India, raising a child in Canada.
The story raises themes of the immigration experience, cultural differences, raising a child, racism, and really delicious looking food.
The game element is a simple affair where you are asked to assemble meals based on partial recipes. The colourful food and tactile cooking methods make these sequences brief but fun. And if you hate cooking, there's a hint system that will tell you exactly what to do.
The game is very short, I finished in about ninety minutes but it's a fun, powerful experience. I'm glad this sort of game is available on Game Pass as it's likely something I would never have tried out otherwise.
