We will look at a game that rejects the P2E system on principle. We are going to talk about the game whose events take place in the world of web creations such as the SCP Foundation.
Today’s NFT market is full of games that, let’s be honest, don’t bring anything new or interesting to the gaming industry, and are based on a P2E system that makes gaming a tedious job rather than a way to spend your free time.
Many people have heard of Creepypastas like Slenderman, right? Developed by Hidn Studios, Myths Story of Abraxas is an open-world third-person MMO shooter with RPG elements.
“We have created a game that allows players to enjoy the game without worrying about having to deal with anything Web 3 related, such as blockchain or the NFT. Our game is free, with no microtransactions or ways to pay your way to the top,”, — says studio founder Seth.
Those who don’t want to get involved with cryptocurrency and Web 3 at all can still buy, rent and sell NFT in-game for in-game currency, and the seller will receive Mythic Tokens as a reward for accepting the in-game currency. This ensures that no one is left out.
Where to start
The player will have to choose their path: be a bandit, a H.A.C.K. agent protecting people from anomalies, or an SCP agent charged with protecting the secrets of the Foundation. Sounds interesting, doesn’t it?
The developer assures us that you don’t have to contribute a cent to the game to earn money. You can be rewarded not only for in-game activities but also through the referral system.
However, no one has forbidden you from investing in the game.
What to do in the game world?
As you move around the game world, you must survive by exploring abandoned buildings, houses, and infrastructure, looting and attacking non-player characters and other players. You can craft new items from the materials you find, or sell everything on the black market. In addition to the black market, the game also features auctions and pawnshops. However, you need to be very careful as other players will try to rob you, so you will need to find the ATMs to deposit your money in.
The player can start their own business by selling or renting out property. You can also get a job, such as working for a transport company. How to get a job in the game will be discussed in the next article.
Cities and factions
In the world of Myths Story of Abraxas, there are cities, and within their walls, you can hope for a certain level of safety, as it is provided by law enforcement. But if you venture out of town, be prepared to encounter bandits or terrifying monsters. Don’t expect any town to be completely safe, as some are lawless and dark.
You can either play solo or join a faction. If you choose to play solo, that doesn’t mean you can’t interact with factions. The player can become a mercenary and carry out the orders of the factions for a good reward. In addition to the story, there are many events and activities in the game.
Hierarchy
There is a hierarchy within the project consisting of different access keys. As a key holder, the player gains access to several benefits and earning opportunities in the studio’s games and beyond. Keys provide valuable in-game assets, exclusive privileges for group factions, and bonuses for recruiting. Let’s talk about their variations.
Starter Keys
Starter Keys are used in-game to convert in-game currency into Mythic Tokens. These keys allow players to earn with the in-game currency they receive as they play.
Survivor Key
Survivor Key holders receive the same benefits as Starter Key holders. In addition, Survivor Key holders can sell items found in the game to a pawn shop for tokens. This is an additional way for players to earn money.
Tyro Key
The Tyro Key includes all the benefits of the previous keys plus the Ranch Shelter. As well as being able to exchange in-game currency for Mythic Tokens and sell items in the Pawn Shop
This key also allows players to have shelter. This hut has hiding places and the ability to decorate and furnish the room, allowing players to develop their skills and make their hut unique and individual.
Supreme key
The Supreme Key has all the benefits of the previous keys, plus a two-story house instead of a ranch and a luxury SUV.
Masters Key
The Masters Key includes all the benefits of the previous keys, plus a house and a Starter License that allows players to create and sell in-game assets on the Franchise Marketplace, earning 50% of each sale.
In addition, key holders will receive a unique character with their own story and a non-fungible token (NFT). This character will be exclusive, making it even more valuable. As a Master’s Key holder or higher, Hidn Verse will help you create a token for your group to earn.
Cosmic Key
The Cosmic Key includes all of the previously mentioned benefits, plus access to secret channels and groups, the ability to participate in the testing of Hidn Studios’ games during their development, a 22-story apartment building, and a Creator License that allows you to create and sell in-game assets on the franchise market, earning 70% of each sale. They will also receive a unique character with their own story and a non-playable token (NFT) containing a 3D model of the NFT FBX file, exclusive to Cosmic Key holders.
“We believe NFTs have great potential in the game world, and by offering personalized characters to community members, we hope to provide a unique experience. Our goal is to make our gaming experience more immersive, engaging, and rewarding for our members, and we believe that by using NFT, we can provide them with a unique experience they won’t find anywhere else.”, — says the developer.
Abraxas Key
Abraxas Key holders get all the benefits of the lower tiers as well as the Rich Aegis franchise, which allows players to sell advertising cosmic on banners and billboards in city locations. Abraxas key holders also receive a developer key, which allows them to work directly with the development team to create their character’s story and any in-game assets they create. If Hidn Studios sells any merchandise featuring a character created by an Abraxas Keyholder, the Keyholder receives a share of the revenue from those sales. Abraxas Keyholders earn 30% in Myths tokens for the sale of any digital product sold in their faction and 20% of the number of tokens purchased in their faction.
Finally, Abraxas key holders have the unique opportunity to create their server in Myths Story Of Abraxas with a dedicated Faction channel in discord.
Key holders can also earn tokens for participating in various groups and factions. If a group on Hidn verse creates a token, key owners receive a certain amount of group tokens if they have contributed, as a reward for participating in the group and additional Myths tokens for attracting referrals.
What’s in store for the project?
The founder of the project believes that Web 2 corporations are taking advantage of gamers. He wants to bring back the golden age of gaming and create an indie studio known for making great games that prioritize the needs of gamers.
The developer wants to create a gaming space where gamers don’t have to worry about greed, rushed projects, and so on, an environment where games are fun, interesting, and engaging, and where gamers can trust that their interests will be put first.
“We want to create a game studio for gamers like us, and we will never sacrifice our values for money.”, — Seth.
What makes this project different?
One of the main goals of the studio is to allow the community to experience the games and build careers. To achieve this, a subsidiary company, Hidn Gaming, has been set up to provide PCs and hardware to members of the community who have reached a certain level.
As well as providing hardware, the studio also acts as a management company, helping community members to build careers in content creation on platforms such as YouTube and Twitch. Myths “Story of Abraxas” will be used as content both to promote the game itself and to train and help players become better content creators. It will also open up other opportunities for them in the future.
“We have seen other projects in the Web 3 space using fraudulent practices that negatively impact people’s lives. So we want to provide a platform that offers a fair and transparent way for our customers to experience the game and build careers. We believe that by helping our members succeed, we create a stronger community.”, — Seth.
To summarise
Myths “Story of Abraxas” sets a very good example for Web 3 projects and gives the belief that NFT games can be made not only as a means to make money but also as a means to have a good time, which is what video games are originally for.
We would like to see the project evolve without deviating from its ideology. In the next article, we will tell you how to make money in the game.
