A tasty RPG that will make you very hungry
Dosa Divas is a compact, stylish turn-based RPG that explores themes of anti-capitalism and the cultural significance of food. Despite its short runtime, the game offers a deep narrative experience centered on two sisters fighting a corporation that has outlawed traditional cooking.
Why it matters
It highlights a trend in gaming toward shorter, high-quality narrative experiences that cater to players with limited time.
Roleplaying games are often defined by excess. Storylines that span dozens of hours, side quests so big they could be their own game, massive worlds that require complex maps to explore, and casts so big you start forgetting character names. That’s part of what makes these games feel like epic adventures, but it can also make them intimidating, particularly if you have limited spare time. Dosa Divas, on the other hand, manages to capture much of that same feeling in a package that spans less than 10 hours. And it does it with a bold sense of style and a story that seamlessly flits between big themes and personal drama. There’s just one big drawback: This game will make you very hungry.
