Unlinked is born out of the team's shared passion for sci-fi stories. Initially, the developers envisioned the game as a collectible board and card game, but as the mindset evolved, the team saw an opportunity to expand the world of UNLINKED into the digital realm as well. Without losing the physicality of a board game, the WAX blockchain immediately offered the best option for the play-to-earn NFT-based iteration of UNLINKED.
About the Unlinked project
UNLINKED — an NFT-based multiplayer RPG game, developed on the WAX blockchain. The game is set in a future solar system at the end of the 22nd century. This hyper-connected solar system is in chaos because the teleportation infrastructure - the portals - that connected every aspect of people's lives has been shut down. In this world, you are a sharpie, a skilled card player who fights other players for resources, money and your survival. Each player will be able to purchase their own starter deck, which they can use in this first phase of UNLINKED.
While exploring the metaverse, players will be able to perform many other activities, such as:
| 1. | buying or looking for new materials and/or resources. |
| 2. | buying new clothes and/or skins for your avatar. |
| 3. | ATM hacking. |
| 4. | decorating your home. |
| 5. | creating new cards or accessories that they may need to access new objects or locations. |
The early game will offer players a series of short missions, called Contracts. This will allow players to start using and familiarize themselves with their cards while immersing themselves in the world and lore of UNLINKED. Each contract will allow players to use three cards from the starting deck to complete their chosen mission. Two of these cards will be standard action or object cards, and the third will be a character card.
More about the crypto game process
Each journey requires a different amount of travel time, depending on the type of transport and the distance to the chosen destination (for example, a space journey may require 3 hours of playtime, while a portal, once active, immediately opens).
Players may choose to purchase their own house or dwelling, which then acts as the player's central hub. These locations can also be decorated with items, purchased from the AtomicHub marketplace or from various vendors that can be found in different areas of the gameplay. Players can also use their home as "practice rooms" to which they can invite their friends and challenge them to practice card games that do not count towards official statistics.
