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 stories. The main theme of the game is information warfare, which creates an information gap between players who own NFTs and those who do not.
Game features
- There are 10,000 characters, each with their own story.
- The game works by acquiring a character NFT or member card, logging into the game while owning the card's NFT, and completing missions and quests to unlock the story.
- Players can make money by selling their NFTs.
- The game is free to play, but owning the NFT makes it easier to obtain information.
