Watch the developer broadcast here:
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
