Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking action combat or mechanically intensive gameplay may hit a wall when the experience centers on reading, browsing, and making narrative decisions.
- Players wanting an open-ended simulation may find the story's outcomes and activities constrained by its authored character and community narrative.
- Players uninterested in retro gaming culture, online communities, or relationship drama may disengage from the central setting and themes.
Our take on VIDEOVERSE
Players looking for immediate action may bounce when the game shifts into browsing Videoverse communities, reading conversations, and selecting relationship-focused responses. The same friction applies to anyone expecting a conventional console adventure once the story's main activity becomes following character threads and making dialogue decisions.
What is VIDEOVERSE?
VIDEOVERSE is a decision-based narrative adventure set around the fictional Kinmoku Shark console and its social network, Videoverse.
Players guide Emmett, a young gamer and aspiring artist, through friendships, romance, teenage drama, gaming communities, and a corporate conspiracy. The story includes choices affecting Emmett's development, his relationship with Videoverse, and the ending. Activities include browsing community discussions, sharing fan art, following side stories, customizing an avatar, quote, and theme, and joining conversations about the JRPG Feudal Fantasy. The game draws on Miiverse, MSN Messenger, early internet forums, and 2000s technology. Accessibility settings include a clear font, closed captions, colourblind-friendly themes, content warnings, separate sound, music, and voice controls, and a tip button.
