🔊 I’ve now been looking up “One Night Stand” on my Xbox to try for myself later - unfamiliar circumstances that will never occur here either! 12 endings?!😳

Anyway, here’s my #VIDEOVERSE playthrough 🧵👇

🔊 Just been listening to a recent @indieventurepodcast.co.uk podcast where @rachelwatts.bsky.social talks to @kinmoku.bsky.social.

I recently completed #VIDEOVERSE so it was neat to hear some background, including thoughts on DLC/sequel if it did/does well enough.

The end screen from “Videoverse” which simply says “The End” - white text on a black background.

An empty chair in amongst other people sat at their chairs. What could this imply? Hmmmm.

🪑 I completed @kinmoku.bsky.social’s #VIDEOVERSE tonight!

I was a bit concerned where it might be headed when there was an accident… but I loved the ending I got.

IYKYK…

🎮 Just hit Chapter 7 in #VIDEOVERSE and the chaos is impacting the forums in the game 😱

Was reminded of the Twitter exodus by current gloom and worry over losing touch w/friends 😬

Emmett is not cocky enough, not compassionate enough & has not helped the community enough 🫣

🎮 I’ve been playing #VIDEOVERSE by @kinmoku.bsky.social based upon @superchartisland.com’s original rec. for a “fantastic narrative game about the relationships formed on online message boards.”

Reminds me of Discord a bit! 😆 Just landed in ch.3 after some awkward scenes 😯

Review: Videoverse Feels Meant for the Switch Given that Kinmoku’s _Videoverse_ is, in part, inspired by both Nintendo’s Miiverse and DS consoles, it seems only proper for the visual novel to be on one of the company’s devices. Fortunately for us, it now is. Even better, the fact that it’s also a thoughtful and nostalgic exploration of relationships on 2000s internet interactions and relationships means it feels even better to play on the Switch. It really is like we’re coming back to a period of time and moment in multiple ways due to the nature of it and this new port. _Videoverse_ follows a young man named Emmett at a critical point of his virtual life. The Kinmoku Shark console, which looks a bit like a Nintendo DS, is home to a social network called Videoverse. It allows people to chat and post about games, not unlike Miiverse, Facebook, Myspace, and other types of social networks that appeared in the late 1990s and 2000s. The thing is, it’s also taking place at the dawn of a new console generation and when internet culture is starting to take a more antagonistic and pessimistic turn. We get to help determine how Emmett reacts to this transition and manages his relationships online. Screenshots by Siliconera This means that while _Videoverse_ is a visual novel and tells a story about the sunset of a media platform and its effect on a teenager, it’s also about capturing a moment in time. It’s harnessing the feeling of the experience of using one of these early social media services and online console communities. The technical limitations of the time period are embraced with the art direction and nature of the pages and forums we explore. The conversations are taking place in those types of messengers. In terms of a recreation of the kinds of UI and forums from those time periods, it is on-point. It looks great, and the limited color choices and design directions do make this feel a bit like a time capsule. The primary narrative involves Emmett coming to terms with what is happening to Videoverse and exploring a potential relationship with Vivi, a fellow _Feudal Fantasy_ fan and artist who posts in the community. However, it isn’t entirely straightforward. While we do interact directly with Vivi, Markus, Zalor, Lorena, Nobu, and his other associates, things are laid out in forum posts, instant messages, and notes Emmett takes on his own desk as things happen. It’s an interesting storytelling device. Screenshots by Siliconera Especially as the nature of the narrative means the kinds of conversations and posts we’ll scour feel appropriate and highlight a sort of transition between time periods. As chapters go on, we can literally see the decline. Kinmoku’s captured it both in the amount of activity, responses from individuals, and ways in which “official” moderation slips, as well as in reactions from the people we meet. The downside to it all is that this can be a bit awkward in two ways, especially with the Switch version of _Videoverse._ The first issue is that the UI isn’t entirely friendly to navigate using only controls. It can be difficult to tell if a button is highlighted for example, and scrolling through different posts in a community with the analog stick or directional pad sometimes gets awkward and won’t go down far enough. Another issue is that sometimes when I’d respond with a DM, image share, or comment, a box with three white dots that acted as a loading message would appear on the bottom right side of the screen and take longer than usual to advance. Screenshots by Siliconera Speaking of advancing, there are times when _Videoverse_ isn’t exactly intuitive when it comes to moving the plot along. It can seem like you’ve responded to everyone, commented where you could, and did all you can. However, if you try to back out of using the social network, Emmett will say, “I don’t want to log off Videoverse yet.” Which means you need to double back and check to see if there’s any place you can still comment, reply, or DM to try and move things along. I really appreciate how _Videoverse_ does capture the spirit of older online gaming communities like Miiverse. It definitely feels like exploring online in the 2000s, when we needed to embrace limitations and do all we could to work within them. The ambiance is impeccable and really does recreate the atmosphere of a waning console community in that time period. There are some times when the UI and progression system can be a little user-unfriendly. But aside from those instances, it’s a bit like playing through a game designed to feel like a time capsule from an internet era. Videoverse _is_ _available_ _on the Switch and PC_.
