Looking for the next blockchain-based play-to-earn videogame that combines a deep narrative with puzzle-solving? Well, next month developer Synesis One will be rolling out browser-based video game Quantum Noesis, an NFT-based graphical novel that uses the Solana blockchain.
Quantum Noesis‘ story takes place only a few short years into the future, in the year 2035, at a time when the first true artificial intelligence (AI) is on the cusp of achieving sentience. That worries a few folks who want to see the AI destroyed. You’re there because EVI (short for Electronic Virtual Intelligence) has gamified parts of her security transforming vulnerabilities into audiovisual puzzles in the process, thus making the fight easier for humans.
As the novel plays out you’re challenged to solve 36 ever increasingly difficult puzzles, winning SNS tokens if you’re the first to solve a given puzzle, complete one of the twelve ‘chapters’, or finish the entire title. Over 1,000,000 Synesis tokens will be awarded, with 8,000 possible rewards for players to claim including a grand prize of 100,000 SNS.
“We wanted to create a unique experience,” explains game designer and producer Tracy Spaight. “In Quantum Noesis, you have to use your wits and creativity to solve puzzles to advance the story, which is told in the visual language of a graphic novel.”
Even though Quantum Noesis is a browser-based videogame, like most blockchain titles a buy-in is required. Synesis One explains: “To access the game and claim rewards, players need a Solana-based wallet and a Kanon NFT or an equivalent amount of SNS tokens.”
Built on Unity, Quantum Noesis is due to be released on March 31, 2022.
