You may have seen earlier this month that VIDEOVERSE has been selected to take part in The Storytellers Festival, from March 25th to April 1st! So, on Sunday 26th March at 5pm GMT/ 9am PST, VIDEOVERSE's broadcast will start, featuring the developer, Kinmoku, play the first online demo whilst talking about VIDEOVERSE's development I'd love it if you could be there!
The demo of VIDEOVERSE, containing chapter 1, will also be available to download and play during the festival, until April 9th!
Unfortunately, I am away during The Storyteller's Festival, so I the broadcast will not be live...but, on the plus side, there are now subtitles available for anyone hard of hearing. The broadcast will be available until the end of the festival, too, for anyone who misses it.
I can't wait to hear what you all think of the game! This is the first online demo of VIDEOVERSE, and it's still in development, so it's a great time to hear you feedback Whether you find a bug, typo or just really, really like it, I'd love to know!
Also, there's new banner artwork on the store page featuring the Kinmoku Shark gaming system! I'm really pleased with how it looks I think it really shows off the game well but, more importantly, a release window of "Q3 2023" has also appeared Ooooh! So, not long to wait until you can play the full game for yourself!

Help Videoverse thrive and survive!
Take a trip back to the days of the early internet and fan forums, when the video game console "Kinmoku Shark" and its online social network "Videoverse" were still popular...
VIDEOVERSE is a 1-bit love letter to old-school social gaming networks where you play as Emmett, a video game-obsessed teenager. 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.
Will your actions help Videoverse thrive or will you get caught up in teenage dramas, video game fandoms and corporate conspiracies?
