Sipher's dungeon crawler features animal characters.

Sipher raises $6.8M for PC-based blockchain game World of Sipheria

Sipher has raised $6.8 million to build World of Sipheria, a multiplayer dungeon PC game based on blockchain technology.

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam-based Sipher hopes to unify blockchain tech, great artwork, storytelling, multiplayer gaming, and decentralized financial technologies. The vision is to create an expansive world that will attract and keep the player base engaged for years to come as new worlds, characters, and factions are introduced. But rather than based on humans, the characters in the game are all animals.
