Lovage is a cooking game based on my Romanian culture. You explore the world, create friendships with characters, and cook recipes. The locations in the game are fictional but heavily inspired by real-world places and cultures. The video game's starting location is a small village in the countryside of a region called Verdeal (inspired by Romania/Balkan countries). The location also draws heavy political and economic inspiration from the Balkans, where it does not prosper economically and is influenced by communism.
