Storeverse: Discover Together for the Cause

Long time ago, this was a peaceful world where the sun always shined and the world tree provided abundance to the people below, but one day the tree started to wither and the strange things started to occur across the village. Could a party of heroes and heroines come to discover the root cause of this sudden trouble? Storeverse is a metaverse for playing LARP-based stories. It is a world where players can interact with one another as a roleplaying avatar. Players can form parties to tread into the mysteries of this world in an attempt to prevent a catastrophe and return life back to the all giving life tree of the world. Each story of this world is different and require different roles (e.g. archaeologist, botanist, detective and doctor). Each role will also have different ability. For example, archaeologist can decipher cryptic language. Another key design element is that the player can use a story branch to discover the root cause of an event or storyline. If they went to a wrong turn, they can reverse in time to go back to a root cause to further the story at a different point in time. Now go! Bring life back the life tree one step at a time by solving the many mysteries of Storeverse!
