VIDEOVERSE

I got this because I loved the art direction! Didn't expect such a wonderful story, it was very touching and real. It's easy to imagine how many kids and teens went through the same things as Emmett and his friends when many online worlds and games back in the day shut down. I loved that it shows that you can make a diffrence in people's lives by simply being kind. While you can't help everyone sometimes all someone needs is a couple of kind words and an open ear. And by being a force of kindness in other people's live you might even inspire them to be kinder too. A great game, very sweet and touching, super recommend this! BTW: I loved all the little eastereggs, memes and hints at other games, characters and gaming history! Certainly a game made by devs with a lot of love for games!

La muerte de una comunidad como vehiculo para contar una historia que no hace mucho aporte ni mucho daño. No me parece malo, tampoco muy bueno. Tiene momentos que me han enfadado por opciones de dialogo que te da para que las reescriba.

A simpler time. Videoverse is a visual novle about the past and how the internet used to run and the connections that we used to create. In the game we follow Emmett who is playing this game: Feudal Fantasy. However that is more of a side thing, the main thing is the Videoverse, a place to chat with friends and like-minded gamers. The game takes primarily through there with some voice over as you hear how Emmett feels. For the most part your interaction will be via chatting with others and posting on the forums. It's nice and simple. The game follows your story between you and Vivi, a person who joins the place. Over time you're cultivate a relationship (platonic or otherwise) as she slowly becomes the new person in your life. As you do so you're also chatting with people in forums, reporting trolls, amongst other things. For the most part the game is pretty darn good. As the story goes you get caught up in dramas in the forums, get to know people's lives and become close friends or lose friends in the forum. I will say overall it's good. It's a story that does a decent job of recreating that period of time. Of seeing friends "offline" and that meant something. It's a game where there aren't really right choices but just a reflection of what it means to be 15 and on the internet. In many ways there is a lot to love of the game. It's not perfect, however, there are parts where I'd categorize the main character as a little creepy. That being said that is what does make a 15 year old boy so there isn't much I can harp on. The accessbility part while nice felt super surface level for a chunk of it as well. The art style feels a little bland and on my PC it was glitching with random screen flashes here and there. However, there is a good heart here. the story has a good message and especially one that makes accessibility be heard (even if it's a little surface level). It does feel like there was a team that cares and while this is not the best recreation of the internet lifestyle (that goes to Secret Little Haven) it's still a game I think that is fairly solid. 6.5/10

Cute visual novel with a lot of detail put into it. I got really into browsing through all the forums on each day, but there are certain plot moments that will automatically advance time and prevent you from looking at everything. It caught me off guard because most of the time it will prompt you and ask if you want to advance after viewing the main plot moments. Aside from that, very creative and cute.

ca me rapelle Miiverse, mais bon. bon jeu et bande-son

Un super jeu sur la nostalgie, l'amitié et l'amour
