We will release this guide as we approach the full game launch. ## What are the Basics? Players are tasked with managing their land to efficiently mine, craft, and engineer in-game weapons and items. In-game items can be sold at the marketplace for in-game currencies that can be swapped for real-world value. Continue advancing your land with upgrades to key buildings and equipment, making your life a little bit easier and more rewarding with each one. Hidden along the way are mysterious items and deep secrets to unravel that only further the adventure! ## How do I Join? To play in the LITD universe, players must own a land parcel. Land parcels can be acquired at the Genesis Mint. Parcels received in the Genesis Mint come with additional benefits that will never be made available again. Visit the "Mint" page to learn more about the upcoming Genesis Mint. ## When is the Genesis Mint? The Genesis Mint is currently slated for a 2025 Q2 release. We will continue to provide updates, teasers, and trailers as we approach the full game launch. **Follow along to learn about the Light in the Dark in-game ecosystem.** --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
