# The Metaverse

The main idea of our game is simple: You and your friends, the heroes, are trying to save Arkham and the area around it from the cosmic horrors that try to destroy or enslave it. You will equip your heroes with items you can loot from monster or buy in various shops around the city.

While in exploring mode you can walk freely around the city. You can talk to other heroes, shop in stores or just enjoy the scenery. 

If you wish to fight the evil you can enter instances that are all around the city. At that moment you will have a part of the city for yourself and your fellow teammates. More and more strange things will happen in the city. Gates to other dimensions will open. Strange creature roaming the city. It will begin quite subtle but can escalate quickly if you don't manage to control the situation. In the end will be a fight against a powerful enemy. Maybe a Great Old One himself. You will be rewarded depending on the monsters and the end boss with loot and coins.

After your quest you will leave the instance and you will join all other beings in Arkham. You can then sell your items or show them off in your own home. For the earned Elder Coins you can buy new items from other players that will make you more powerful, craft items, buy accessories to customize your character, buy real estate, customize your real estate with assets created by us and the community.
