What players say
This game feels just like being in an online community, complete with close friends, amusing posts, trolls, artists, and people who just need someone to reach out to. I was teary eyed by the end of the story. I wish Videoverse was real.

I don't usually play visual novels, but I loved this game so much. I was hooked on the nostalgic look at tech and the internet, and found a beautiful story that made me miss the way I used to connect with people online. Wonderful game.
Bought it on discount during a Steam sale. Tried playing it, but after a couple of hours I got pretty bored. It's not a bad game, it's just really boring.
