In a multiverse where up to 10 alternate yous exist, you must chase and defeat your alternates, absorb their power, and make them your minions. To do so, you'll share information with other players in your universe and exchange powers with other players in alternate universes.

Who will destroy all of their alternates and become "THE ONE"?
