Deafverse

It’s a dark and stormy night when a mysterious mechanical creature suddenly appears. Your new robot friend needs your help to capture another bot that is wreaking havoc in your small town. Can you stop the menace?

Deafverse is a choose-your-own-adventure game created just for teenagers. In Duel of the Bots, you get to make own choices, stand up for yourself, and build confidence and skills you can use in real life—even when you don’t have a robot by your side!
