What is Project Chimera?

Project Chimera is an indie JRPG built for the browser, inspired by classics like Final Fantasy VI. It’s a game about a medieval world that isn’t quite what it seems — where reality has seams, and something watches from behind the curtain.

Where We Are

The core game systems are built and playable:

• ATB combat with enemy AI, boss phases, and ability systems
• Tile-based exploration with NPC dialogue, shops, and quests
• A complete dungeon — the Bandit Camp with prisoner rescue mechanics and a boss fight
• Item and equipment systems using medieval apothecary lore
• A quest system with tracked objectives and story-gating

You can play the current build right now from the Play Demo page.

What’s Next

Our current focus is completing Act I of the story:

• Lyra recruitment — The second party member joins in Havenwood
• Save/Load system — Persist your progress
• The first Glitch — The moment reality cracks for the first time
• Sound and music — Bringing the world to life

Get Involved

This project is being built in the open. We’d love to hear from you:

• GitHub Discussions — Best place for structured feedback
• Bug Reports — Something broke? Let us know

We’re especially interested in feedback on combat feel, exploration pacing, and whether the story hooks you in.

Thanks for checking out Project Chimera.
