KIMÆRA (Pronounced Kim-Era) is a creature-centric, real-time RPG adventure game.
Created as a love-letter to 1990’s and 2000’s single-player creature-collector and adventure games, KIMÆRA takes genre conventions and skews them on a new axis!
In KIMÆRA, the whole Forista region is yours to explore! As you do, you’ll meet the people, wildlife, and ever-mysterious kimaera creatures that call it home. See where your journey takes you!
Kim-Era.
Over 100 species will be in the game! KIMAERA will look different depending on where you encounter them in Forista, too.
The creatures in KIMAERA (who are also named kimaera) can talk the same languages as us! They can think, create, dream, and rationalize just like you or I. In some cases, they can surpass even human levels of skill!
In KIMAERA, you'll be controlling and playing as Sage, our main character. Although Sage can't be customized, they have an important story to tell, and they're very much their own person! I hope you enjoy meeting them and their friends.
Yes. You may change this any time in your squad menu!
KIMAERA is a single-player, offline game.
Although all named characters in the story have defined identities and genders, kimaera creatures that you befriend in the wild in your playthrough have no game-defined gender or identity, so you as a player are free to let your headcanons reign supreme.
Each kimaera creature you befriend has traits depending on both their species and their individual quirks. Don't be afraid to find out what they like and dislike through experimentation!
No.
Our game is built in GameMaker Studio 2. We are an indie team and we put a lot of love into our work!
