A Souls-like action adventure franchise where cultural heritage, mythic storytelling, and true digital ownership converge on the Hedera network
A fully playable prototype demonstrating the fusion of AAA gameplay and blockchain-verified ownership
Cultural Heritage as Competitive Advantage
Beyond Service isn't a Western fantasy with African skins. It's a ground-up reimagining of action RPGs through the lens of Nigerian mythology, built by Africans for global audiences hungry for authentic stories.
Authentic Nigerian Setting
Every environment in Beyond Service is rooted in real Nigerian geography and folklore. Our arenas aren't generic dungeons—they're sacred groves, cursed marketplaces, and ancestral shrines based on actual mythological sites. Players explore a world where the line between the physical and spiritual is razor-thin, where ancient gods still meddle in mortal affairs, and where every boss fight is a confrontation with living legend.
Mythology as Gameplay Mechanic
Nigerian folklore isn't window dressing—it's the foundation of our combat system. Somadina's blade techniques mirror traditional Igbo warrior training. Nze's spirit channeling draws from authentic masquerade traditions. Kaira's shadow-walking reflects Yoruba concepts of ori (destiny) and àṣẹ (spiritual power). Players don't just consume African culture—they embody it through gameplay.
Representation That Matters
African gamers deserve to see themselves as heroes, not sidekicks. Beyond Service centers Nigerian characters, languages, and worldviews without apology or explanation. This isn't diversity for diversity's sake—it's a calculated bet that authentic cultural storytelling creates deeper player engagement, stronger community bonds, and more memorable experiences than yet another medieval European fantasy clone. Our Gamathon playtest proved this: players didn't just enjoy the game, they felt seen.
