Dear Adventurers,
Today marks the beta launch of Paradigm Found, a free-to-play narrative adventure game meticulously crafted by our small, passionate team here at Paradigm Lost. It's been a long journey filled with creativity, ambition, and yes, countless late nights. But now, we're ready to open the gates to this universe and begin the journey of expanding it alongside you.

In a world-turned-icy dystopia, humanity sought refuge underground, connecting their consciousness to the metaverse. The first explorers, now known as CyberBrokers, found themselves permanently digitized. Amidst this new reality, human ‘Drifters’ strive to navigate The Paradigm Lost (TPL), seeking to escape dystopia's harsh grasp. However, an unforeseen event has left them locked outside the digital haven…
Your mission? Navigate TPL, uncover its secrets, forge alliances, and unlock the path to salvation for humanity. This isn't just a game; it's a call to adventure, a plea for help. Will you answer?
Paradigm Found is a free-to-play idle MMORPG that merges strategic gameplay, deep interactive storytelling, and a rich digital economy into an inclusive experience for all. Currently browser-based, we're looking to expand to mobile soon!
Set in The Paradigm Lost fictional metaverse, your decisions carve out not only your characters’ paths but also the fate of the metaverse. It's a world that lets your legacy unfold at your own pace, offering a fresh take on exploration, crafting, and character growth. This fusion of digital board games and choose-your-own-adventure elements invites you to a flexible, fun gaming experience.
Whether you're an NFT newbie or a seasoned degen, Paradigm Found offers a universe that is approachable and fun for everyone: a Web3 wallet is not required to play. But for the adventurers who do own Paradigm Lost NFTs, such as CyberBrokers and Genesis Mechs, the game unfolds additional layers of engagement.
By loading your CyberBrokers into the game, you can switch between characters, tap into unique abilities, and enjoy enhanced gameplay features such as accelerated travel and more efficient leveling. By equipping Genesis mechs in your Bracer, your travel speed becomes even faster. Look forward to the upcoming integration of Mods this spring for even richer gameplay. This is just the start of how we plan to continuously weave in NFT utility for players.
PS - we have Delegate V1 integration to support secure wallet linking!
In Paradigm Found, your journey is defined by the strategic choices you make, the characters you level up, the rewards you collect, and the unique gear you craft. As you traverse through worlds, you'll engage with NPCs who entrust you with text-based missions, each brimming with Hazards that challenge your decision-making skills. These Hazards present you with options, and the path you choose should align with your current stats and strategic goals. Successfully navigating Hazards and completing missions not only propels your narrative forward but also rewards you with items crucial for crafting, achieved by visiting specific crafting NPCs.
The essence of your strategy lies in the dynamic interplay between the character you play, the items equipped in your Bracer, and how these elements influence your stats. Occasionally, your quest for new missions will require inter-world travel, which could either demand patience or the use of jump codes to quicken your journey. These jump codes, along with other in-game items, can either be earned through gameplay or acquired with our in-game currency, Vess. Vess can be purchased using either crypto or fiat via PayPal.
And for nerds like us, we didn’t forget about you! The game's "advanced" mode reveals dice roll mechanics, echoing chance elements found in traditional tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons. This level of gameplay introduces a layer of complexity, where every action and choice is weighted by the chance of success, determined by dice rolls. For instance, integrating a specific item into your strategy could augment your chances of overcoming a challenge by adding a 1d4 roll, thereby injecting an additional four-sided dice roll into the equation for success. For a deep-dive into the nerdy goodness of our gameplay mechanics, visit the Paradigm Found gameplay guide.
Our vision extends far beyond the thrill of leveling up characters and securing the top spot— even though that’s major street cred ;). We envision Paradigm Found becoming a dynamic metaverse where creativity and commerce come together, creating a vibrant digital economy with tangible rewards. Here's a glimpse into the future as we work towards bringing this vision to life.
New Gameplay Dynamics: We're taking gameplay to the next level with multiplayer missions, quests that span the entire web, and fantasy sports bracket-style combat. Whether teaming up with friends or joining larger faction-based groups, players will have ample opportunity to explore, conquer, and challenge themselves in fresh ways.
Crafting Evolution: Our crafting system will get a major upgrade with the introduction of a dynamic crafting table and ‘Blueprint’ recipes. This allows for a more immersive crafting experience, where strategy and creativity lead to unlocking new assets.
Collect and Customize: Explore a wide array of new cosmetic and functional in-game items and NFTs that reflect your Web3 identity. Customize the look and style of Drifter avatars, and then equip them with the latest Mods to boost their abilities. You can even accumulate and design digital real estate, all while showcasing your achievements and unique flair.
Thriving Commerce: Engage in the buying, selling, and trading of in-game assets and NFTs across marketplaces. Or carve out a niche by specializing in a particular trade to build your own business within the game. Whether you're crafting items for others or running a digital bank, the only limit to your ventures in Vess will be your imagination.
This is only the start! We're beyond excited for what's next with Paradigm Found, expanding and developing together with our incredible community.
We're not just rolling out a game; we're starting a movement. As Paradigm Found grows, the network effect takes hold, improving the experience for every participant as more players join. Here's how you can amplify our collective success and help us get Paradigm Found to reach every corner of the digital and IRL universe.
And remember, while we're proud of the features rolling out today remember, this is just the beginning. We’re dedicated to constantly refining and expanding our universe. This journey is collaborative at its heart, so share your experiences with us.
The adventure starts now. Your legacy in Paradigm Found awaits.
