SCHIMERA

SCHIMERA

SCHIMERA remains under active containment protocol.

Beneath the administrative districts of City 731, a biological threshold has been secured within the Containment Annex after a series of classified environmental breaches beyond the outer sectors.

Through this rupture lies an unstable forest region exhibiting severe ecological distortion, spatial inconsistency, unidentified mobile organisms, and recoverable anomalous material.

Registered field personnel are authorized for controlled deployment only.

All retrieved matter is subject to quarantine review.

OVERVIEW

You are a contracted retrieval operative assigned to the SCHIMERA Containment Annex.

Your task is simple in procedure, impossible in practice:

enter the breach, recover samples, document irregularities, survive contact, and return intact.

Each expedition sends you deeper into a forest that no longer obeys ordinary biological or spatial laws.

What begins as regulated fieldwork gradually becomes exposure to something neither the Annex nor City 731 fully understands.

GAMEPLAY

SCHIMERA is a singleplayer anomaly expedition horror experience focused on:

• repeated deployments into shifting contaminated forest sectors
• extraction-based progression and specimen retrieval
• first-person environmental investigation
• limited field inventory and equipment management
• containment analysis and base preparation
• hostile biological encounters and psychological destabilization

Every excursion is a balance between greed, observation, and survival.

The deeper you go, the less reliable your senses become.

CORE SYSTEMS

• First-person expedition-based exploration
• Scientific anomaly collection and quarantine retrieval
• 3-slot field equipment loadout management
• Persistent containment hub progression
• Psychological stress and contamination systems
• Dynamic environmental anomaly events
• Mobile biological entities and unstable sector conditions
• Layered environmental storytelling through found evidence and specimen recovery

THE CONTAINMENT ANNEX

Between deployments you return to the SCHIMERA Annex:

a sterile underground facility built around the breach itself.

Prepare equipment, catalog recovered matter, review field findings, unlock deeper sector clearances, and witness containment begin to fail from within.

Safety is procedural. Not guaranteed.

SETTING

• quarantined scientific containment infrastructure
• recursive dead forest sectors beyond the breach
• failed observation stations and abandoned retrieval camps
• regulated City 731 oversight presence
• biological growth overtaking controlled architecture
• subtle collapse beneath institutional order

TONE

• oppressive scientific isolation
• slow-burn psychological horror
• ecological body horror
• bureaucratic containment unease
• surreal environmental dislocation
• grounded first-person immersion

SCHIMERA is built around sustained dread, procedural descent, and the constant question of whether any recovered understanding is worth the exposure required to obtain it.

NOTE

Residents are expected to maintain compliance with assigned routines.
Daily suppressant collection is mandatory for continued residency.
