Im happy to announce that VIDEOVERSE is now running smoothly on Steam Deck! Please update your game to 1.1.0.0 to enjoy.
To celebrate, there is a 10% discount until 20th October (3 AM PDT / 12 PM CEST)! As Steam is still learning about VIDEOVERSE, there is no official badge yet, but hopefully that will change soon For now, this update allows you to control the game using the button controls, touch screen or on-screen cursor. Check out the official VIDEOVERSE controls when you load up the game on your Steam Deck for more info.
In-game controls can be found here:
For regular desktop users, this update also contains some UI redesigns, alternate main menu music and message arrival bug fixes. 1.1.0.0 has also been updated to use the latest RenPy 7 engine.
Thank you so much for waiting patiently for Steam Deck compatibility these last two months. I originally thought 1.1.0.0 would only take a few weeks to complete, but RenPy doesnt typically use controllers as the default input, hence there were a lot of obstacles and compromises to get here. I hope you enjoy this update and thanks again for your continued support of VIDEOVERSE!

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)
- A nostalgic throwback to retro social networks like MSN messenger, Miiverse and online message boards
- Original artwork and 1-bit pixel animations
- Choose your avatar and set your personal quote
