Gameplay Videos and Fan Creations

Thank you for always supporting KEMCO's creations.
KEMCO feels truly honored that you love the worlds of our games and wishes for fans to enjoy activities that share the gameplay and charm of our creations in a secure and enjoyable manner.

To ensure that so-called "spoilers" do not rob others of enjoyment, devalue the game itself, or negatively impact future game productions, guidelines are set for the posting of gameplay videos, live streaming (including commentary), and fan creations within the realm of hobbies.

By paying a little attention, we believe we can create a safe and joyful environment for both fans and KEMCO. We appreciate your cooperation.
