"I Know This Place..?" is a transmedia project with an unconventional use of the token
About the Project
"I Know This Place..?" is a transmedia gaming universe where the story unfolds across various media. The game is released episodically, like a TV series, with short films between episodes that add new layers to the plot. The project also includes community interaction through quests, narratives, and challenges, creating an immersive experience in a unique game world.
The project is developed by an independent team with extensive experience in gamification, VR, and media projects, and it progresses without outside investors or partners. This independence provides the team with complete creative freedom to realize unique and unconventional ideas.

Atmosphere of the Game
The universe of "I Know This Place..?" is filled with warm mysticism and aesthetics of late Eastern Europe. The game world is rich in references, quirky characters, puzzles, and a mysterious ambiance.

It incorporates deep symbolism, subtlety, references to films and books, and objects modeled after real things from that era.

Community Interaction
An essential part of the project is community engagement. After each episode, players vote on the future development of the story through a dedicated form, and their opinions influence the next episode’s creation. This makes the project truly “community-driven” and maintains a close connection with the audience.
The project’s public channels release daily news, host contests, and offer various activities with players and viewers. For example, fans can win a handcrafted diorama-lamp and other prizes.
An AI bot has been created to interact with the community, keeping up the universe’s atmosphere. In addition, players can purchase a VIP subscription, allowing them to submit items for the game, such as preserving a childhood photo, adding a unique object, or even an entire location modeled after their ideas. Subscribers can also voice characters, add their own puzzles, and more.

The project has already received positive feedback for its pilot episode on Steam and is preparing for release on VK Play.
