Cheating on Ash's Monday Madness stream to watch this right now!
As a South Indian, I'm very happy this game exists. 💜
its so cute
I love your videos
The hardest part of making idlis is making the batter.
Please complete this game
I’m late
This game is very cute and has a great story. I’m glad there are more stories that represent Asians and their struggles, without being stereotypical, coming out more and more.
As an Indian, I am thrilled that a game has been created based on Indian cuisine. I am learning a lot about my own culture, which is fantastic.
Puttu is similar to Indonesian cake, Putu. It is traditionally cooked inside bamboos and instead of coconut, we use palm sugar between the rice. So after it is cooked, the palm sugar will melt. The shredded coconuts is used after cooking for coating. I think there is also a similar cake in the Philippines. 😊😊
This game is very profound and emotional. I now understand the way my parents talk about their culture and values compared to American or Canadian culture. My dad immigrated to the USA when he was 17 or 19 years old to pursue better education and eventually became a retailer for jewelry and clothing. He was one of the first Indians in New York City at the time, having been born in 1947. I feel a connection to both American and Indian culture, and I am grateful to have experienced both
I love how cute and educational this game is! In South East Asia there are desserts called Putu that also uses steamed rice flour and coconut 😮 I bet it was heavily influenced from South Indian trade and commerce with us back then. I would have never known of such close cultural connections. Such a cool world we live on!❤
As someone who is Tamil, started watching your videos back when I was in Tamil Nadu – India (YEARS ago!), and have since moved here to the pacific north west now, this video's got me feeling all kinds of emotions. Unexpected emotions. I just want to go into so many details about all the awesome references and details in this game. Not to mention the weird ennui and emotions of the immigrant experience this game captures. I don't really know what point I'm trying to make here, but I just want to register that it's very cool to watch some of my favorite creators play something that represents me quite well. I love the curiosity, interest, and excitement you all shared at the awesome Tamil food too. There's some great Tamil restaurants in Portland that I hope you guys go visit to try what these dishes taste like for yourself. <3
Tamil is more pronounced Thumul , i had friends who went to Tamil classes after school and complained about it and I learned the pronunciation that way XD
omg this game is so cute and so bittersweet
Anyone else notice the mask's eyes move at 13:56, following Kavin as he ran into the room? With that and the eyes closed at end, I wonder what kind of significance it'll have in the story. I have to admit I'd be overwhelmed with all the choices Kavin gets offered-they do sound good though! This games looks wonderful, I hope I can play it sometime!
As like one other commenters here, I'm also an Indonesian.
I live in Medan, a city in the northern Sumatra province, in Sumatra, an island to the west of Java. Here, there are a lot of cultures colliding, mostly Malay, but also a couple of Chinese and India (specifically Southern India). My city, in Indonesia, is known as one of the "food heaven" in Indonesia, with the abundance of cultural food from many. And besides my own Batak cuisine, India is my favorite international food.
As I said above, the Indian people living here are from Southern India, and the food they serve mostly adhere to their tastes, as us Malays and Bataks are known to love sharply spiced foods, much more than other tribes in Indonesia. So, the Indian restaurant is so much tasteful in Medan than any other cities in Indonesia (and much cheaper too, because even if they have some fine dining restaurants, they also open places like stalls, food truck-like places, and so much more). My school is close to many of these Indian restaurants, and I guess that's why I've got accustomed to their smell of spices as well as their foods. So much sharp tastes, and I LOVE IT!
Really nice to see those cultural foods in games. Even us in Sumatra, like Aceh, also got influenced by their spice choices.
Aiyo, means something in the term of " Deary me or Dear God." It can be an expression of suprise, worry or amazement.
But I am paraphraising, I don't actually know.
It just what I gather from interacting with Tamilis.
But to every Tamili in the comments, please correct me if I am wrong.
And I wish you all a wonderful day.
Your Nanba from the other border.
I'll admit; I was drawn in by the auto-generated captions reading "Hey everybody, welcome to some disaster".
I want to make a rocket!
Not much of an identity politics guy, but as a Pakistani, I’m really happy to see a game like this. Might have to pick this one up. Would also like to see the four of you play the Heavenly Bodies Cleanup dlc
I played the demo of this, during the week of Wholesome Direct! The demo was so short, but I had so much fun as it was so interesting! Congratulations on the devs for the release! 💓
I'm in love with this game. Please play more!
As a north Indian I feel happy .
kavin reminds me of myself as a child 😭 i was so desperate to fit in the i forsook my language, food and name. now as an adult i regret it so much but I'm learning now!
also im so glad to see food i eat on the daily at home represented like this 🥹 I'm definitely gonna buy this game
im so happy to see you guys check this game out i been following they tiktok and it's look really good! my grandma so proud when she learn about this game (she is indian)!
Came for the food and stayed for the lovely way the game portrays the experience of immigrants in a new country and culture. Thanks for the video and for sharing the game with us!
okay, i'm crying now :((
Even if the game is Short,I Want You All To Complete the Full Game Because As An Indian Im Proud to See A Whole Game Based on Indian Food and you guys playing it is so much better ❤️…..
As some from Tamil Nadu I'm more happy than I thought I would be to see people of other cultures enjoy ours
as someone who is indian it was funny seeing you guys try to prounounce some words haha. You did a great job tho
Watching this as a tamilan makes me very happy
It’s a good thing you didn’t keep going – the game is only about an hour long! Amazing story and design – just wish there was more.
Aww man they said Kevin instead of Kavin ❤
I loved this!!!! I and definitely buying this game and trying some of their recipes!
I'm not Indian but I'm Malaysian and I love Indian food so much. It's not Malaysia without Indians
Ok probably an accident but… umm your new backrooms video inst on the channel anymore?😢
I really want to see more of this! I loved watching you play the demo before and was so excited when I saw this
I played this game last night and it was so good!!! Even in such a short game it did an amazing job of conveying all the emotions the characters were feeling and by the end I was so attached to all the characters! I’m definitely going to try some of these recipes because they looked sooo good
I'm probably feeling this a little too much, but as a child of Pakistani immigrants this hit wayyyy too close to home. This game has so many subtleties that make me feel less alone (just like Kavin going by Kevin, people called me Abs for short because my name was different!) I even recently wanted to connect more with my culture, and my mom has been teaching me her recipes! All in all, I'd love to see a full playthrough and hope to see more cool games like this. Love you guys for featuring this game!
