CHIMERA
A downloadable body horror RPG
You ventured to an alien planet.
When you returned to base, you began to change.
An alien virus ravaging what’s left of your humanity.
You and everyone were locked away.
You will record every thing until the end.
CHIMERA is a solo role-playing game about body horror, mutation and transformation.
Spend your days documenting how an alien virus irrevocably tears at your body, mind and the life you built.
This journal game includes:
- 150+ prompts for the tarot deck including the Minor and Major Arcana in both upright and reversed positions.
- Up to eight possible endings for your story based on the choices you make.
- More than one. Witness the consequences of your change. Document how the crew, friends and foes take in your transformation.

Haunting and compelling!! I've seen the previews of future additions on tumblr and am looking forward to having the whole thing available - the concept and prompts really capture the imagination in terrifying ways.
