From Incarceration To Innovation: Former Inmate Creates Motivational Game | AHKBOT : The Game

AHKBOT: The Game is AVAILABLE on Apple App store.

Formerly incarcerated entrepreneur launches motivational mobile game blending hip-hop culture, resilience, and digital storytelling.

AHKBOT isn’t just a character — he’s a reflection of anyone who’s been counted out but kept going, it's a glitch in the system — and that glitch is truth.”

— Devarius McKinney, Creative Director & CEO

ATLANTA , GA, UNITED STATES, November 3, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- A new voice has emerged from the intersection of technology, culture, and redemption. AHKBOT: The Game — created and published by FAMILY F1RST Inc., in

collaboration with Pakistani-based studio Caffeine Studios — has officially launched on the Apple App Store, marking a fresh chapter in storytelling through gaming.

More than just another endless-runner, AHKBOT transforms lived experience into a mission of self-discovery. Inspired by the journey of creator Devarius McKinney, who turned years of adversity into creative purpose, the game merges hip-hop rhythm, urban aesthetics, and motivational undertones into an interactive experience that speaks to resilience, awareness, and rebirth. Players step into the shoes of AHKBOT, a street-smart robot navigating a city filled with Hater Bots, Wisdom Coins, and glitch-style hazards symbolizing everyday societal challenges. Every design element — from the gritty streets inspired by Chicago’s South Side to the game’s deeper metaphors — reflects McKinney’s mission to merge entertainment with introspection.

The project expands upon McKinney’s broader multimedia ecosystem, including his animated docu-podcast #RealVoice, which explores themes of prison reform, cultural influence, and media manipulation. Together, both projects anchor FAMILY F1RST Inc.’s philosophy: “Speak real. Build real.” As gaming continues to evolve into one of the most powerful storytelling mediums of the modern era, AHKBOT positions itself not merely as a product, but as a movement — one born from lived experience, coded with purpose, and designed to remind a generation that every glitch can spark growth.

AHKBOT: The Game has already received positive acclaim from early players for its fresh blend of hip-hop culture, social commentary, and motivational storytelling — setting a new tone for purpose-driven mobile games.


AHKBOT: The Game is now available on Apple App Store, Amazon App Store, Gamejolt and is currently in BETA TESTING for Google Play.
