Yesterday, the winners of Indie Cup UK 23 were announced and VIDEOVERSE won the Critics' Choice Award!
Indie Cup said the following about VIDEOVERSE:
"[Kinmoku]'s early internet period piece tells a timeless story through a very specific time period, and it hit hard with practically all of our jurors."
"Jurors praised its atmosphere, attention to detail and brilliant narrative."
I still can't believe this incredible news and want to thank everyone who's supported me in making VIDEOVERSE come to life! Congratulations to all the other nominees and season winners, as well!
The demo of VIDEOVERSE is still available to play until release (date TBC really soon!), so please try it out if you haven't already and let me know your thoughts. steamhappy

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?
Videoverse features:
- A decision-based narrative adventure that can be enjoyed in around 6 hours
- A chill, retro-inspired soundtrack composed by Clark Aboud (Slay the Spire, Kind Words)
