Core Gameplay Loop
The Journey of Survival, Growth, and Legacy
The fundamental experience in Trials of Mu revolves around a cycle of survival, growth, and consequence - creating a continuous loop where each character's journey impacts the next.
1
Create Character
Define your unique soul (Race, Class, Base Stats) and mint its identity as a pNFT on the blockchain, establishing permanent ownership.
2
Survive
Manage Hunger and Mu (spiritual energy) amidst environmental challenges, dynamic weather, and day/night cycles.
3
Explore & Gather
Traverse a large world map, discover locations, interact with NPCs, and gather resources from depletable nodes using specialized, upgradable tools.
4
Craft
Utilize gathered resources via a time-based crafting system, leveraging class specializations (Kajiya, Onmyoji, etc.) and potentially collaborating with others for high-tier items.
5
Quest & Events
Undertake structured Quests with branching narratives or encounter dynamic world Events influenced by various factors.
6
Combat
Engage in strategic, turn-based tactical combat on a grid. Positioning, team damage, and skill usage are crucial. Battles can be dynamically joined by other players in certain zones.
7
Progress
Gain XP, level up to manually allocate points to Base Stats, spend points in Skill Trees, and acquire better Gear and powerful Relics (potentially as NFTs).
8
Legacy
Face permadeath, but leverage the Lineage system to pass on bonuses to future characters, continuing the journey with accumulated knowledge and power.
