VIDEOVERSE is narrative adventure game about love and friendship, inspired by Miiverse, and will be releasing soon on PC, Mac and Linux. It's set in the days of the early internet and fan forums, and is named after the fictional online social network in which it is based (Videoverse). As the player spends time in Videoverse, they'll discover people in need, form friendships and help make the online community warm and welcoming. Some friends in particular are going through difficult times, and the game helps prepare the player navigate heavy topics. However, there are plenty of fun and silly moments to enjoy throughout the game as well (it is inspired by Miiverse, after all!).
VIDEOVERSE can be enjoyed in around 6 hours, but there are optional side stories and various narrative branches. You can also personalise your experience by customising your Videoverse avatar, setting your personal quote and choosing a favourite theme.
The music is composed by Clark Aboud (Slay the Spire, Kind Words), who's created a beautifully chill, retro-inspired soundtrack for the fictional video game console, the "Kinmoku Shark". Additionally, VIDEOVERSE will feature voice acting, though more details on this will be announced in future posts.
You can find out more about VIDEOVERSE by checking out its home page, or subscribing to Games by Kinmoku newsletter.
Thanks again to all the fans who have stayed patient throughout the years to hear more about Kinmoku's next project! :)

In this narrative adventure game, you’ll browse community pages, share artwork, make friends and report trolls to help this retro-inspired social network become a better place for everyone.
