Kaverini: Uvira
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Welcome to Congo Kinshasa!
In the massive land many know as „The Democratic Republic of the Congo”, a township called Uvira is home to farmers, clergy, students, children, engineers, rogues, heroes and many more. Come along on a tragicomic role-playing adventure in which you volunteer for the local chapter of „Happy Club International”, an NGO where not all is as it seems!
To complete your program with Happy Club International, you have to find four local inhabitants of Uvira and make them find true happiness...but the road to perfect bliss isn't a straight path or a garden of roses!
Complete four different chapters, one for each of your clients you'll lead on the road to true happiness! Venture into the real Congo with hand-drawn RPG worlds inspired by Uvira in real life, and consulted on with local students, farmers and educators!
Explore farms, caverns, mountaintops, volcanoes, churches, marketplaces, residences, lakes, beaches, forests, villages and even a big city!
You may encounter some foes along the way, be they pests, recalcitrant children, a monkey with a bucket on its head, spirits from Central Africa's history throughout the ages or even the demons inside your very soul...but never fear! The Kaverini combat system is back, complete with fourteen emotional techniques you can use to disarm your foes, no violence required!
The various foes don't just offer „combat damage” in this game, they'll also offer you challenges that will make you rethink your life choices, essay prompts, ask for help from people who aren't playing the game and even give you a karaoke track to sing!
- Be Anything, Do Anything, Go Anywhere! This time...to Congo Kinshasa!
- You can draw your own character by linking up your phone to a computer via USB, or use one of the twenty pre-drawn characters!
- Choose a pet to accompany you on your journey from the DRC's legendary fauna! You can draw your own pet in the game files as well!
- Four different overarching missions of ten levels each, in which you lead a Congolese local to true happiness! Each chapter offers your client as a companion that gives you a different bonus!
- Customize your non-violent play style by choosing and leveling up your emotional techniques!
- Lovely items based on Congolese cuisine to heal you! Fufu, banana beer, mikate or classic rice and beans...what do you feel like today?
- Different locations in the game may impact the fight in many different ways! In a field? On the beach? In a house? The outcome may look very different in each one!
- All information in this game has been fact-checked by inhabitants of Uvira, Bukavu and elsewhere in the DRC!
