    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.

      @@hamdepaf6686 That's very sweet of you to ask! There's a lot of incredible details that the game captures, so I will limit it to a few for brevity.
      1. The food really is incredibly accurate within the simplistic representation in the game. This is very close to how I would actually make idli's or puttu. Kudos to the team on that!
      2. The way they capture the frugality of Pavalaan and Venba early on is touching. This is pretty reminiscent of a typical lower/middle class lifestyle back home (and presumably here too). Nothing gets thrown away until it's falling apart. Everything is repurposed endlessly. One thing that caught my eye was when Venba is sick, she seems to be wrapped in a sheet with an airplane logo - I am guessing this is the sheet that they give you when traveling internationally on a flight (which they did going from Chennai to Canada). My family had these sheets that we used for years after the first time one of us took a trip like this!
      2.a. Fun side note - I absolutely ADORE yard and garage sales and thrift stores, and was incredibly fascinated by them when I first got here to the USA because it was such an alien concept to me . Getting rid of such perfectly good items for pennies on the dollar just did not compute in my head. I kept looking for the catch. Getting things repaired was not a concern here whereas repairing goods was a whole industry back home.
      3. The little couplet that starts every new "episode" of the game is actually from an immensely popular literary work called "Thirukkural" written by Thiru Valluvar. It is a collection of 1330 couplets (2 lines) on teachings of virtue that is taught to most Tamils in school. It permeates a lot of our culture, and the way it is shown in the game is perhaps the most popular way in which people come in contact with it in their day-to-day life. They sell "date-sheet" calendars, where there is a stack of 365 tear-away sheets stuck on a cardboard plaque with pictures/paintings of deities or heroes. Every day you begin by tearing away the previous days sheet to reveal todays date, a new "kural" or couplet which is like a thought for the day, and some other details about the day etc.

    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!❤

    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!

    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. 😊😊

    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!

    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.

      its pronounced as Thaa mizh, "zh" here can be substituted with a "il" the actual pronounciation is relatively difficult for a non native speaker as the original Tamil Letters sound cannot be replicated as it falls somewhere between il-r-rzh.
      For ease of pronunciation call it "Tha mi (r) l"
