HOW TO PLAY

CREATE YOUR ACCOUNT

To join the revolution, you'll need an invitation code from an existing revolutionary. This keeps the network secure. Once you have a code, register with your username, email, and password.

ENABLE LOCATION SERVICES

Shadow Revolution is a location-based game. You must physically travel to real-world locations to place and maintain your nodes. Allow location access when prompted - the revolution needs your coordinates.

YOUR STARTING RESOURCES

Every new revolutionary begins with:

PLACING NODES

Nodes are disruption devices that create zones of mental freedom. To place one: travel to a location, tap the hex on the map, and select "Place Node." You must be physically present at the hex. Each node covers approximately 66 meters.

EARNING §SRT

Once placed, your nodes generate §SRT (Shadow Revolution Tokens) every 6 hours. This is your proof of disruption - currency earned by actively fighting the system. Visit your nodes to collect accumulated earnings.

MAINTAINING YOUR NETWORK

The Conglomerate searches for disruption sources. Your nodes may be discovered and damaged. Visit regularly to repair damaged nodes using Scrap. Nodes with low health cannot be placed until repaired.

RANKING UP

Your Rank determines how many nodes you can deploy simultaneously. Spend §SRT to increase your rank: Node Slots = Rank + 1. At Rank 0, you have 1 slot. At Rank 5, you have 6 slots. Expand your network.

SCRAP YARDS

Marked as orange hexes on the map. Visit these locations to search for Scrap - free parts for your operations. Each scrapyard has a 7-day cooldown per player. Find multiple scrapyards to maintain a steady supply.

MISSION PARKS

Marked as pink hexes on the map. These are gathering points for revolutionary activities and special missions. More features coming to these locations soon.

JOIN A CELL

Cells are teams of revolutionaries working together. Join one through the Cell menu in-game. Members share territory visibility and can coordinate structure building. The revolution is stronger together.

SHARED TERRITORIES

When multiple players have nodes in the same hex, the discovery risk decreases. 2+ players = 25% less risk. 5+ players = 50% less risk. Coordinate with allies to create safer zones.

BUILD STRUCTURES

When a hex has 10+ nodes, you can begin building Structures - permanent installations that protect territories. Safe Houses reduce reversion risk. Rev Cores provide immunity. Multiple players can contribute to fund construction.
