It's been many years since I released One Night Stand, but I'm finally able to announce my second game with you... It's called VIDEOVERSE and will be launching on PC, Mac and Linux soon!

VIDEOVERSE is narrative adventure game designed around empathy and inspired by Miiverse! It's set in the days of the early internet and fan forums, and is named after the fictional online social network in which it is based (Videoverse). As the player spends time in Videoverse, they'll discover people in need, form friendships and help make the online community warm and welcoming. Some friends in particular are going through difficult times, and the game helps prepare the player navigate heavy topics on disability, depression and neglect. However, there are plenty of fun and silly moments to enjoy throughout the game as well (it is inspired by Miiverse, after all!).

VIDEOVERSE can be enjoyed in around 6 hours, but there are optional side stories and various narrative branches. You can also personalise your experience by customising your Videoverse avatar, setting your personal quote (remember doing that on MSN?!) and choosing a favourite theme.

I've been really lucky to work with composer Clark Aboud (Slay the Spire, Kind Words), who's created a beautifully chill, retro-inspired soundtrack for the fictional video game console, the "Kinmoku Shark". Additionally, VIDEOVERSE is my first video game to feature voice acting, which has been a lot of fun to record! I will be talking more on that in future posts...

It feels so good to announce VIDEOVERSE after all these years of development! Keeping things quiet until they are ready is really tough!

You can find out more about VIDEOVERSE by checking out its home page (Web 1.0 is back!) or subscribing to Games by Kinmoku newsletter. VIDEOVERSE will also launch on Steam.

Thanks again to all my fans who have stayed patient with me throughout the years to hear more about my next project. I believe it will be worth the wait! :)
