"It's dusk, and bugs are chirping all around me. I'm wandering through the middle of a big, virtual swamp toward the sound of thumping bass off in the distance. There isn't much else nearby - some trees, a couple of other players. It's mostly just me and the sound emanating from a large wooden structure strung up with lights sitting farther out into the swamp."
"When I finally arrive, it rises above me: the official clubhouse of the Bored Ape Yacht Club. I make for the door to head inside. Except I find I can't get access; even though the lights are on in the house, the doors don't actually open. There's nothing to do. These were my first steps inside the virtual world themed after the infamous cartoon monkeys that became the symbol of everything about the NFT craze."
An explorer navigates a dusk swamp within Otherside, hearing distant thumping bass and encountering sparse players and environmental details. The environment features a large wooden structure lit with strings of lights leading to the Bored Ape Yacht Club clubhouse. The clubhouse appears illuminated but is inaccessible; doors do not open and no activities are available. The experience emphasizes atmosphere and company branding over interactive features. Yuga Labs plans a renewed digital push using Otherside as a metaverse tied to its NFT collections despite the ebb of NFT hype. Early access reveals limited functionality.
