Relive the days of the early internet and dive into this fictional video game era, where the 'Kinmoku Shark’ gaming system and its online social network 'Videoverse' were still popular…
The game immerses players in a fictional online community centered around a retro gaming system called the "Kinmoku Shark". The gameplay primarily revolves around interacting with this virtual social network, known as "Videoverse", through various means.
Players can access different sections of the Videoverse, such as their profile, friends list, and community forums. Within these areas, players can perform actions like updating their profile, sending messages to friends, and browsing and commenting on community posts. The interface captures the aesthetic and functionality of early 2000s online communities, with a distinct retro/pixel art visual style.
As players navigate the Videoverse, they encounter numerous dialogue choices that can impact the direction of the narrative. These choices range from how the player interacts with other characters, to how they respond to various situations and events within the Videoverse community. The decisions made by the player can lead to different outcomes, branching storylines, and ultimately multiple possible endings, giving the game a high degree of replayability.
Players can create and share their own pixel art drawings, which can be viewed and commented on by other players. They can also report inappropriate posts or comments, reflecting the game's themes of online community moderation and the challenges that come with maintaining a positive, inclusive environment. These community-focused features help to further immerse the player in the virtual world of Videoverse.
The game includes several accessibility options, such as clear font, closed captions, colorblind-friendly themes, adjustable sound/music/voice volumes, and a tip button for guidance. These features demonstrate the developer's commitment to ensuring the game is inclusive and enjoyable for players with various needs or preferences.
