A Gaming Studio Company · We Build Worlds

AVOK is KOVA,
spelled backwards.

Avok Interactive is the gaming company founded by DeAndrew Preston Harris — the studio building KOVA, a console-feel gaming platform for PC, and the games that live on it.

The flagship

KOVA is the product Avok is building everything around — our own platform, with our own games on it.

Flagship product

KOVA

The Avok platform — and our flagship product. KOVA is a Steam-like, controller-first gaming platform for PC: one home screen, one library, every store you already own games on — gathered into a single console-style dashboard. It runs on the OS you already have: the bootable KOVA OS is parked, the platform is the product.

Unified librarySteam, Epic, GOG, itch.io, and standalone games in one shelf — no more hunting across launchers.
Quick Panel⌘+Shift+K summons your library over whatever you’re doing. Jump games without leaving the couch flow.
Quick ResumeYour recent games, remembered between sessions and ready on the home screen the moment KOVA opens.
Controller-firstFull controller navigation, proven on Mac — plus per-game profiles, library search and sort, a Favorites row, and hidden-games management.

Colony & Community Sim

START OVER: THE WORLD

About Avok

Avok Interactive was founded by DeAndrew Preston Harris in West Memphis, Arkansas, as the gaming house of his Harris Holdings portfolio. The name is the mission statement in miniature: AVOK is KOVA spelled backwards — the company and its platform are the same four letters, flipped. One builds the machine; the other is the machine.

The studio works the way its founder works: independent, from scratch, and owned outright. Avok designs and develops its platform and its games in-house — KOVA, Dispatch HQ, and The Open World — and publishes them under its own name on itch.io and the web.
