What is SYMBIOGENESIS?
SYMBIOGENESIS is an innovative art project with 10,000 characters, each with a different story fragment. The stories of these characters intersect and encourage the formation of new narratives. A major theme of the game is the information war, which creates an information gap between players who own NFTs and those who do not.
Game Features
- There are 10,000 characters, each with a different story to tell.
- The flow of the game is to acquire character NFTs and member cards, log into the game while owning the card NFTs, and complete missions and quests to release the story.
- Players can earn money by selling NFTs.
- The game is free to play, but having NFT makes it easier to obtain information.
Q&A (taken from Discord)
What is your vision for this project?
From producer TAMA: "We are trying to create a new IP starting from Web3.
If we receive positive feedback from everyone, we plan to make SYMBIOGENESIS into a series with various contents. We also want to make it a collaborative IP that is created together with everyone, and we would like to find various ideas in the community."
What kind of game is it?
