The METAverse is a virtual reality game where players take on the role of a virus, trying to infect other cells. The METAverse is a cross between the board game Life and the computer game Warzone. Players are given two teams of cells to control, and they must work together to win the game. They must decide when to infect other cells, and when to defend their own cells. This decision is crucial, as the METAverse is a fast-paced game where players must constantly be on the move.
