Last week, VIDEOVERSE won "Best Narrative" at the first Debug Indie Game Awards in Nottingham, UK! 
A huge thank you to the fans, play-testers, players who've reported bugs (seriously, you guys are such a help!) and, of course, those who voted for it! It warms my heart seeing VIDEOVERSE get recognised for its narrative amongst so many brilliant games that released in 2023.
VIDEOVERSE was also nominated for "Safe In Our World Award for Mental Health" and "Everyone Can Award for Accessibility" and, although it didn't win, just being nominated meant so much. VIDEOVERSE was a game I made to help me through a dark time and I really wanted it to do the same for others, while making it as accessible as possible so more people could experience it. I'm inspired to keep pushing for these efforts in future!
There's also been an update today (1.1.2.0), which contains sprite improvements, smiley fixes and a bug fix at the end of chapter 1. Please download to enjoy...and thanks again to everyone for your continued supported!

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
