Core Principles

The tool system in Metacces is built upon an integrated framework of philosophical and functional principles, transforming each tool into a symbolic, living element that interacts with the environment, the player, and Oli. Below are the core foundations on which this system is based:

Symbolic Identity

Every tool carries a meaning that goes beyond its practical use, serving as a manifestation of a stage in the player’s journey of awareness—whether it's perception, protection, understanding, or connection. This symbolism fosters an emotional and spiritual bond between the player and their equipment.


Rarity & Tiering

Tools are categorized into rarity tiers:

  • Common

  • Rare

  • Epic

  • Legendary

  • Mythic Each tier defines the tool’s power, its relevance in events, and its impact within the symbolic economy.


Decentralized Ownership

Every tool is registered as an NFT on the blockchain, granting players true ownership with the ability to trade, lease, or even merge tools. This real ownership supports the Web3 economy and ensures user autonomy.


Customizability & Progression

Tools can be upgraded using Blacxes or merged to create new hybrid tools. Some tools evolve and improve based on the user’s behavior and progress within the game.


Dynamic Intelligence

Certain tools are equipped with adaptive algorithms or micro-intelligence, allowing them to learn from player interactions and evolve over time. This feature enhances the dynamic nature of the experience.


Synergy with Oli

Each tool is influenced by Oli’s condition—his mood, level, and energy—and interacts with his personality. This synergy can unlock new abilities, hidden paths, or alter the tool’s behavior.


Narrative Integration

Tools are not merely mechanical elements; they are integral to the interactive narrative. They can be used to solve mysteries, complete symbolic codes, or trigger pivotal story moments.
