About this game

What this game is, in the developer's words

You're a survivor of "The Parallax Effect". A government run project which took a dark, unforeseen turn for the worst several years ago. You are now left with no memory and seemingly lost in an abandoned world reclaimed by nature, but you might not be alone...

THE PARALLAX EFFECT

Years following a devastating chemical attack, now termed as The Parallax Effect, has left the remnants of Chimera in abandoned ruins. You'll need to find a way to stay alive and rebuild your own world...
  • Survive against hostile predators such as wild wolves, foxes and bears
  • Utilise weaponry you've either found or built
  • Learn new skills to help you stay alive longer
  • Play the stealth game or go loud and wild with plenty of ammunition
  • Build bases, storage and other various devices to assist your survival

    THE WORLD

    There's still plenty of tasks to do in Chimera, even after The Parallax Effect...

  • Source clean drinking fluids and food
  • Search buildings and other unique locations for various supplies
  • Obtain a light source for conducting night exploration
  • Forage crops that have already grown
  • Plant your own crops and ensure they're well hydrated

    THE THREATS

    The Parallax Organisation conducted several illegal experiments upon survivors of the plague in the hopes to develop a cure, unfortunately several of them failed and instead spawned hellish mutants with superhuman abilities...

  • Keep a keen eye out for wild life which might behave hostile towards you
  • Fight off enemy hunters who roam Chimera trying to score loot for themselves
  • Befriend or betray fellow players who are surviving just like you
  • Watch out for rogue experiments tracking you down after dark
  • Keep starvation and dehydration at bay
  • Maintain your immunity to the plague with medicines or risk infection

    THE RED SHIELD

    A small group of survivors have banded together to form The Red Shield rebellion which acts as a shelter for any humans out there wishing to join the rehabilitation efforts of Chimera and supports the banishment of The Parallax Organisation...

  • Locate The Red Shield encampment and introduce yourself
  • Get to know the NPC's who've joined the rebellion
  • Trade goods for cash or other valuables
  • Complete tasks of varying difficulty to gain respect and rank up in The Red Shield
  • Help reconstruct the remnants of society

    THE MILITARY

    There was a strong military presence all over Chimera before the plague hit. Several intact vehicles and military installations still exist which are ripe for looting...

  • Search for military installations which are still intact and score some valuable gear
  • Locate land vehicles including ATV's, Humvee's and APC's
  • Locate air vehicles including helicopters and planes
  • Locate sea vehicles including boats and rafts

    THE FORT

    Construction materials are everywhere, from wood to stone to metal. You can build a fortress to suit your needs and stow away your valuables safe from prying eyes...

  • Use various tools to obtain wood, stone and metals to construct objects
  • Build intricate bases and places to stash your items
  • Layout traps for anything trying to sneak in
  • Operate generators to provide electricity and use electronic devices you've built
  • Board yourself inside existing buildings as a makeshift hideout
  • Build light sources to keep things going after dark
