Cinevva FAQ
What is Cinevva?
Here's the short version: Cinevva lets you discover indie games by watching real gameplay. Not polished trailers designed to sell you something. Not carefully cropped screenshots hiding the janky bits.
You're seeing someone actually play the thing — rough edges and all. Scroll around, something grabs you, maybe you try it out yourself. That's pretty much it.
If you want the full picture, About Cinevva has more.
Is Cinevva "TikTok for games"?
Yeah, we hear this one constantly. And honestly? I get it. Vertical video, swiping, the whole vibe looks familiar on the surface.
Here's where it breaks down though. TikTok needs you glued to that scroll — their whole model depends on it. We're after something different. The goal is helping you figure out if a game's worth your time before you download anything or spend money. It's about making a decision, not getting sucked into endless content.
What kind of games are on Cinevva?
Indie stuff, mostly. The solo dev grinding away on some weird idea at 2am. Small teams held together by stubbornness and way too much caffeine. Games that get buried the second they have to compete with actual marketing money.
You'll find browser games from itch.io, Steam releases from tiny studios, stuff hosted on someone's personal website. What you won't find is Assassin's Creed. That's intentional.
Can I play games directly on Cinevva?
Sometimes. If it's browser-based, yeah — click and you're playing right here. For everything else, we send you wherever the developer wants: their site, a storefront, wherever they've set up shop. They control how their game gets distributed. That's theirs to decide.
Where do the reels come from?
Real gameplay from games you can actually play right now. No staged demos, no misleading cuts. This matters to us — a lot.
