My Neighbor Alice, the popular blockchain-based farming and builder game, has officially launched “Chapter One: A New Adventure,” marking its first full release after several alpha seasons. Built on the Chromia blockchain, the update introduces frictionless browser-based gameplay, wallet-optional access, and integrated token and NFT features—bringing the entire experience to players for the first time.

Key Highlights: My Neighbor Alice Chapter One Launch

• First public release after multiple alpha seasons

• Playable instantly in-browser—no downloads, wallets, or tokens needed

• Powered by Chromia’s gasless infrastructure and on-chain relational architecture

• ALICE token now live on Chromia mainnet with in-game use

Instant Browser-Based Access for Web3 Gaming

Players can now explore My Neighbor Alice directly in their browser, with no need to download software or connect a crypto wallet. Plus, a new mode enables users to begin playing immediately, and they can create a wallet at any time within the game to mint assets or save progress. This approach removes traditional onboarding friction and opens the game to a broader audience.

“This launch is more than just a game update. It is a proof point that Web3 can deliver the same user-friendly experience as Web2: no downloads, no wallets, just pure gameplay,” said Steve Haßenpflug, VP of Games at My Neighbor Alice. “With Chapter One, we are showcasing the future of gaming. Open, accessible, and built for the community.”

Powered by Chromia’s On-Chain Architecture for Games

The full release uses Chromia, a Layer-1 relational blockchain platform with a modular framework for decentralized applications. Thanks to Chromia’s gasless interaction model, players avoid paying transaction fees when engaging with blockchain features.

All core game data, such as world state and player progress, is stored on-chain using Chromia’s relational architecture. That means the game reduces reliance on external servers and goes beyond the asset-only models common in many Web3 games, enabling a more persistent and decentralized experience.

“This launch is a major milestone, not only for My Neighbor Alice but for Chromia as a platform,” said Henrik Hjelte, Co-Founder of Chromia. “It shows how our architecture can power complex, persistent virtual worlds while keeping the experience smooth and intuitive.”

ALICE Token Integration and NFT Ecosystem Expansion

With the public release, the game now supports the ALICE token on the Chromia mainnet, enabling native functionality directly within gameplay. While ALICE isn’t required to play, it unlocks extra features and lets players engage more deeply with the in-game economy.

Players can buy, sell, and trade NFTs through the in-game marketplace, creating a dynamic, player-driven economy where they can also earn rewards and monetize their creations.

On top of that, My Neighbor Alice has introduced a collaboration with Pudgy Penguins, bringing all 40,000 NFTs from the collection into the game as fully animated 3D companions.

This expands the social layer of the game and shows its ability to integrate outside assets, boosting its broader community appeal.

The launch of Chapter One: A New Adventure moves My Neighbor Alice out of its testing phase and into full availability. By making the experience more accessible and lowering the barrier to entry, the game hopes to set an example for how Web3 titles can reach and retain mainstream audiences.
