Our take on Convento
Rather than centering an adventure on exploration or action, the game uses a kinetic visual novel structure with movie-like scenes and limited interactions. Its subject is also the passage of time in online communities, including friendships that continue or fade beyond the game world.
What is Convento?
Follow a group of players who meet through a fictional online game and share a goal: exploiting a loophole to earn a living while remaining NEETs.
This kinetic visual novel lets players control the pace of its story, which unfolds through movie-like scenes, small interactions, and hand-drawn, painterly animation. The narrative follows the characters and their relationships over the years, alongside reflections on growing up online and dealing with real-life changes. Its fictional game includes a virtual economy built around trading skins and hats, sometimes becoming more important to players than the game itself. The story draws on experiences with MMOs and community-run games, focusing on memories of long-term online friendships and communities that may have disappeared.
