+This is an open source MMORPG.
+The players live in a cyberpunk dystopia, but slowly discover and build alternatives to wageslave life.
 
+## Interface
 
-# Gameplay
+The Interface would be a browser: 
+* one window displays the view of the player (ego-perspective, mini-games, information HUD)
+* one window displays a mastodon instance which displays the ingame fediverse, but also connects to IRL fediverses,
+* one window displays the fuckbook, ingame public social network + messenger.
+* other windows are used for links created in the game itself, maybe being displayed on wordpress instances.
 
-You are not limited to one of these areas of gameplay.
