Imagine an anonymous world where absolute freedom exists, everything is permitted, and nothing is banned. A mystery place of boundless opportunity, in which it is up to you to find your path and your true self. The Island of Artemis is the name of the first-ever role-playing Metaverse world, and it is already waiting to be built, created, and lived in. The immersive conversation-driven reality integrates a voice mask that will keep your voice anonymous, and allows you to change its characteristics as you desire. There is one crucial rule - do not anger the Matriarch! - the true heir of Goddess Artemis, creator of the island. The Matriarch is everywhere, but few have seen her. What angers the Mother of Deers is a closed book for participants.
The multiplayer role-playing game, enriched with real-time digital content creation and blockchain technology, was founded by Georgia-based Web3 company Two Point Zero, a team of storytellers, digital artists, engineers, and game developers transforming stories into things people will enjoy, use, interact with and share.
"This is not just Roblox for adults. You have an avatar, an island, and a voice mask. It is up to you to create and develop that island and its economy. The Island of Artemis is a place of absolute freedom, but everything has a price. The more free you are, the more you will be responsible for your actions. Why the Artemis and Greek theme? Greece was a place of extreme freedom - humans fought the Gods for freedom, and we believe that there is no greater freedom than this. In the new Metaverse world, people 18+ will be welcomed and allowed to decide how to behave in the ancient Greek-themed park, one in which there is everything: traditions, pleasure of the body and mind, money, weapons, religions, and so on," says the CEO of Two Point Zero, Zura Sharashenidze.
As to whether the Metaverse will bring people closer, Zura claims: "The Metaverse does not divide us, but connects us. On the Island of Artemis, participants will have face-to-face communication, without any kind of bureaucracy or unnecessary barriers that prevent communication".
Each district on the island is under the control of a different clan. Divisions among the earliest inhabitants of the island gave rise to these clans. Each has its leaders, traditions, and culture. Any contact with them needs to be properly thought out. By joining a clan, you can gain power and influence by advancing within the nefarious underbelly. playing an appropriate part in the drama, becoming a part of the story, taking part in the Matriarch's schemes, starting them, or thwarting them, or attempting to unravel the mystery of who the enigmatic Mother of Deers and her servants—the magical Sisters of Artemis—are.
They say that the devil is in the details, and the Island of Artemis is full of sinister intricacies in both its architecture and landscape. Everyone deserving of experiencing this magnificent universe will be amazed and excited by the depth and beauty of the weave that is created by the connections and interweaving of all things, with each element coming to and from itself.
Who will you meet on the island?
Beastborns
The beasts of Artemis, giant fish monsters that live in the depths around the island, introduce new players to this Metaverse universe. Local fishermen go after the monsters, slit their bellies, and after the newborns are removed, the island's limitless prospects are revealed.
The Matriarch
Silent but omnipresent, she oversees the island with the help of the Sisters of Artemis. Remember the main rule: do not anger the Matriarch!
The Sisters of Artemis
The Matriarch is supported and served by the twelve Sisters of Artemis. Aside from their creator, they are the most powerful characters on the island. In their various districts, they are in charge of maintaining order and ensuring freedom.
Cognitants & Technocrats
While Technocrats oversee all financial activity on the island and are in charge of the world's largest unobtanium mine, Cognitants serve as the Sisters' counselors and soothsayers.
…and so on.
The story of Artemis cannot be complete without the support of the community. The creators of The Island of Artemis are storytellers who turn stories into objects that people will engage with. They expand on concepts, guiding them in directions they never imagined possible. NFTs, Web3, crypto-gaming, and other immersive concepts inspired the staff to create invaluable experiences, such as the experimental gamification project deckk*, a socially motivated project with a single overarching goal: to create an online and blockchain-based memorial for all those affected by Putin's wars and crimes - IS PUTIN DEAD YET?, the largest collection of sound crypto advice the world has ever seen - Candlesticks, and the NFT project for emotion-driven transmedia storytelling - Ohh! Football.
The (A) Team is all set to establish the foundations for where this world will take us tomorrow. "We'll go there, do that, get the t-shirt, and come back to tell you all about our adventures so you can come along on the next one or even set the roadmap for our journey together yourself," the team says. The next destination and experience is The Island of Artemis - whose launch date will be announced in January 2024.
