Hey everyone!

The final version of Chimera: Bloodlines 2.1 was posted and is available for download! And now, for the big (and hopefully exciting) news!

Why was Chimera: Bloodlines put On Hold:

1. The game's ambitious scope, featuring 22 characters, proved challenging for a solo developer, especially when striving for meaningful character dynamics.
2. The sandbox system required an inordinate amount of coding time. For every hour spent writing, I found myself dedicating 1-2 hours to coding—adjusting variables, interfaces, and more. As scenes accumulated, coding demands spiraled.
3. The core of what I wanted was an adult game emphasizing character relationships. However, Chimera's narrative became heavily entangled in world-building, limiting my ability to shift its focus.
4. I believe in integrating sex scenes only where they naturally fit the storyline. Chimera's expansive lore made it hard to incorporate these scenes organically, and I couldn’t turn back.

Drawing from the lessons and skills I've gained, I'm confident that "I SCREAM" will reflect a higher caliber of craftsmanship. I genuinely hope that my dedicated patrons will continue this journey with me. Your support fuels my commitment to delivering quality work that foregrounds the narrative, reducing the need for exhaustive coding.

Set in the aftermath of a world war, "I SCREAM" will navigate the terrain of overcoming child abuse. Its non-linear plot will throw a myriad of tough choices your way, determining if you'll emerge as a hero, villain, bystander, or something entirely unique...

Game Overview:

You were born in an Asian nation-state, created from the pieces of the world after WWIII.

Born to serial killer parents, you spent seven years in a basement with no contact to the outside world.

When they were arrested, you were moved to the institution, where you made friends with four girls and one boy.

The most bullied children.

Your group planned to leave the facility as soon as all of you turned legal age, and requested a transfer to the university.

On your long-anticipated day of release, Saya, one of your friends, died by suicide.

Why are you still able to see her... and hear her screams?

What do you really know about your friends?
