High Concept:
Defeating enemies and grafting their limbs in the hopes of survival evokes a feeling of
determination, desperation and anxiety to escape from unknown forces.
Mood
The mood of Chimera gives the player a feeling of curiosity and determination as the
player ascends to higher levels and challenges. On every floor, there are a multitude of rooms
where the player must combat dangerous creatures to progress. As the player progresses, they are
instilled with a sense of dread by the dimly lit levels and unwelcoming atmosphere created by the
dimly lit levels and the black silhouettes in every room. They also gain insight into the story
behind Chimera through environmental storytelling, collectible lore drops, and cutscenes
throughout each floor.
The first floor of the game is dark and cluttered with abandoned preserved wooden
furniture from millennia ago. The dungeon floor is dirty, rough-around-the-edges, and covered
with various flora and fungi. There are also other signs of the age in the dungeon with symbolic
glyphs and old tapestries. The glyphs and tapestries allude to the origins of the Treachery; a
group of radicalized anthropomorphic raven scientists in the search of immortality.
The cavern on the second floor is filled with colorful glowing crystals and pools of water
throughout the rooms. Various stalactites and rocky pits populate the foreground and gameplay
area, with rooms shaped in much more organic ways compared to the first and third floors. There
is various mining equipment and some of the Dungeon's assets scattered throughout. Alluding to
the Treachery’s crystal mining operations as well as the historical succession of the cavern’s
significance to the Treachery’s search for immortality.
On the last floor, the player reaches the Nest; the Treachery’s research facility. The walls
and flooring are white with blue accents; and the rooms are populated with equipment,
mysterious test tubes, and researcher’s remains strewn across each room. The atmosphere is
reminiscent of a hospital; disturbing and eerie with bleak, cool, white, fluorescent lighting.
Ultimately, as the player progresses throughout the game, the floors transition to a coldly colored
environment that makes the darkness of the dungeon below seem far warmer and more
welcoming than the Nest.

Lighting
Lighting within Chimera suggests a specific mood for every floor. The lighting on the
first floor suggests a place of eerie mystery. The rooms of the dungeon are sparsely lit rooms
composed of open flames with braziers, torches, and bioluminescent flora. There is no natural
light due to the subterranean tower and absence of windows. The lighting on the first floor is
dimly lit to add to the eerie glow of green and orange flames alike. Lighting on the second floor
is done with glowing pink, purple, and yellow crystals. Like the dungeon, the floor is dimly lit
with these being the sole light source, but not so dim that visibility is lost. Lighting on the third
floor is done with fluorescent lighting fixtures and strips along the walls. The lighting on this
floor gives a hospital-like coldness as it makes the rooms feel unwelcoming and abandoned.
Comparing this floor to the previous two, it is the brightest and least colorful. All rooms on the
Nest floor grant full visibility and the greatest contrast due to the near-monochromatic color
scheme.
All lighting for the game is either rendered with an emission texture map, or uses
spotlights, point lights, and area lights, with point lights being applied to any asset that provides
unrestricted lighting to a given room. Chimera’s three-fourths orthographic camera allows for
implied lighting sources. Lighting for the cavern floor is achieved by angling the spotlight onto
the floor at various degrees to provide interesting and unique shadowscapes from the glowing
crystals. The research facility uses a combination of previously mentioned lighting techniques
while including area lights for assets with glowing screens. Generally, the lighting becomes more
organized and light intensity increases as the player ascends the tower as the floors progress into
modernity.

Scale
The game world is built on a metric grid, with the player character taking up 1x2x5 grid
spaces in reference to length, width, and height, respectively. The scale of the Chimera’s
environment and creatures is determined in reference to the player's scale. The height of all
rooms’ walls are 10 or more meters tall while the Chimera stands at five meters tall. Although all
rooms vary in shape from floor to floor, over time the rooms generally grow in size as the player
progresses up each floor. With boss rooms being the largest rooms in their respective floors.
Figure 4: A view of the Dungeon room’s scale in comparison to the Chimera with the game’s
orthographic camera.
The player is disproportionate to creatures in scale; with each creature being scaled
uniquely depending on whether they are a minor, major, or boss creature. Minor creatures are the
smallest of all creatures, typically occupying no more than two meters of space on any axis.
Major creatures are usually larger than the player and drop limbs. Boss type creatures are always
scaled upwards to make the player feel smaller. Although the creatures vary in shape and size, all
dropped limbs from enemies are scaled to fit the player’s size once grafted. Minor creatures are
the smallest of all creatures and tend to fit in a 1x1x1 meter space.

Page 7 of 61
Figure 5: Chimera length/width/height side by side comparison of size against all creatures
All arm limbs vary slightly in length, width, and height, but fit in at half a meter long and
wide, and two meters in height. The exceptions to this rule are limbs with unique hand/finger
shapes that are wider and taller. The legs are considered one limb but visually drop as a pair,
taking up one meter in length, one and a half meters in width, and two meters in height. Croc
legs are an exception to this, being one meter wide. Lastly, the head limbs average to about one
meter in length, width, and height. With exceptions being heads that have larger jaw proportions
and varying facial structures. These exceptions grow in width by about a half meter and
sometimes in height another half meter.

Like the limbs, the environmental and prop assets are scaled around the Chimera scale;
however, asset scale grow larger or smaller depending on the floor. The dungeon was created to
house the rejects of the Treachery’s experiments and that is why the dungeon’s rooms are more
tightly packed and closer to the Chimera’s size than the other floors. The Treachery utilized the
cavern for their mining operations to gather glowing crystals and use them to power the Nest.
The ravens are slightly larger than the Chimera in scale and as a result, pickaxes, lanterns, and
miscellaneous mining equipment that are sized to their scale populate the area. Because of the
Cavern mining operation, naturally occurring large spaces are even larger, with roughly shaped
corridors mined out of the stone. Lastly, the rooms on the Nest floor are much larger; being the
Treachery’s main headquarters. Chimera-sized office desks, test tubes filled with specimens, and
smaller scientific equipment scattered about after the Amalgamation’s rampage.

Style
Overall:
The game's overall aesthetic is a dark stylized fantasy inspired by mythological, natural,
and anthropomorphized creatures and animals.
All Characters:
All characters in the game are visually represented through hand painted textures. Hand
painted textures add a level of fidelity that is easily customizable for the artist creating them.
Using hand-painted textures ensures a maintained aesthetic across all characters and creatures,
while simultaneously adding to the dark fantasy aesthetic.
Player Character:
The player character is a bipedal anthropomorphic creature withering away from a
millennium of imprisonment. The Chimera is a creature with desaturated browns and greys
across its body. The exception to the color scheme being its mismatched horns and glowing back
tattoo. The design maintains an organic style with sharp facial edges for anatomical emphasis
while maintaining human-like anatomy. The design is executed by creating rounder features on
the overall body and only sharpened/blunt shapes at the end of the limbs or the features on the
head. The texturing for the character is desaturated to provide more contrast against the various
limb attachments.

Page 10 of 61
Other Characters:
The Body Shop Shopkeeper:
• The Shopkeeper, also known as the Outcast, is a 3D modeled cloaked raven with a bone
necklace and a scarred left eye; a scar which he earned on his flight escaping from the
Treachery.
• The Shopkeeper wears a velvet cloak to hide his stash of bones in his pockets
• On interacting with the Shopkeeper:
o A camera frame cuts to a front-facing perspective view showing the Shopkeeper
idling in his shop stand
o A 2D pop up containing 3 random limb options and an option to buy a healing
grub
o The player pursues dialogue with the shopkeeper via a separate overlapping 2D
pop up with multiple dialogue options
o The healing rub is depicted as a white larva with red spots and lines
Figure 7 & 8: Body Shop Shopkeeper Model for shop interactions and screenshot of them during
gameplay
Limbs:
Limbs taken from all enemy types mirror the enemy itself along with its distinguishable features.
Limbs taken from enemies are significantly more visually distinct than the Chimera’s core limbs
to create visual contrast.
Figure 9: Contrasting Chimera with core limbs vs with grafted limbs

Page 11 of 61
Enemy Design:
• Dark fantasy stylized aesthetic with organic forms and exaggerated features
• Expressive enemy design exaggerates proportions of the body while keeping the
identifiable silhouette of the corresponding real-life animal
• Exaggeration of the limbs emphasizes the unique features of the creature the player may
use, as well as a visual indication of what limb is dropped
• The use of straight or creased edges for dangerous areas of an enemies' body as well as
facial features and muscle indentations, is represented either as a texture or via model
topology
Distinguishing Enemy Features:

Creatures have two distinguishing features, unique markings, and the color of their skin/fur. The
first feature is that the limb has unique glowing markings on it depending on its animal
classification. Mammals have veins, reptilians have geometric symbols, and aquatic animals
have spots and/or circular shapes/eye patterns on their body. The second distinguishable feature
is the color of the animal's markings unique to each creature. Overall, these features contrast to
the dullness of the default Chimera wearing its core limbs while also creating a unique set of
colors with every run as the player customizes their build with limbs from each creature.

Page 15 of 61
Bosses
Scolopendra: A centipede, wolf, croc, and

rhino hybrid chimera created through the
Treachery’s experimentation. Made up of croc
front legs, wolf hind legs, and a quadruple
head combo consisting of a wolf, croc, and
two rhinos. The centipede portion consists of
a purple plated body with colors and glowing
veins/patterns from the rhino, wolf, and
crocodile on their respective body parts.
The Wardens: A double boss with contrasting

physical features to match their attacks.
Katayama: Warden with long horns and a crab

hand cannon on their right arm.

and an additional pair of arms on its back.
The Amalgamation:
A combination of cavern crystals, arms, legs,
heads, deceased Treachery scientists, and a
formerly successful Chimera experiment. The
Amalgamation has two long and stretchy
arms and one muscular arm on its back. It has
a crystal heart in its center that uses dead
raven wings to cover and protect itself from
attacks. Additionally, its large horns are
reminiscent of the Chimera’s and a large
eyeball that glows and strobes multiple colors.

Mutations:
Mutations alter minor and major creature statistics to modify combat encounter experiences. On
each creature, they are visually represented by 3D models placed throughout a creature’s body.
• Quilled: Curved and slightly longer spines are applied to the creature’s backs and
shoulder/hip regions, not included on the sides or face
• Infected: Mushrooms are attached to the creatures' backs and sides, not included on their
limbs or face
• Crystallized: Crystals are attached to the creature’s backs and sides, not included on the
limbs or face
• Marrowed: Hard edged, bone-colored exoskeletons are placed on creature’s backs, tops
of limbs, and face, creating an armored appearance

Page 18 of 61
Figure 10: Quilled, infected, crystallized, and marrowed mutations on major enemies.
Mutations are also applied to the dropped limbs of the defeated mutated creature. These limbs
have their respective mutated models applied to different areas of the limb depending on its type.
Head limbs tend to have the mutated model be placed on top of the head, with arms staying close
to the shoulder/elbow regions, and legs staying on the outer upper thigh; closest to the Chimera’s
hips. Like the creatures, these models are grouped together in patterns such as the quills forming
a mohawk on head limbs, or the marrowed armor plates protecting the elbows/knees of the
Chimera’s limbs.
Corrupted Limbs:
Corrupted limbs occur whenever the player loses all the health of any given non-core limb.
When a grafted limb is corrupted, it transitions to a halfway-dissolved version of itself, with the
dissolve color being the emissive color of the limb. Once the room is completed (or the Chimera
is defeated), the limb fully dissolves away, being replaced with the core arm once again.
Additionally, corrupted limbs have UI conveyance with the healthbar icons also appearing
dissolved in the matching emissive color whenever a limb is corrupted. This also disappears on
completing the room.

Page 19 of 61
Figure 11: Corruption Conveyance
Environment:
The environments use rounded geometric shapes on any hard surface wall or object. Any walls
that obscure player vision is occluded once the player gets close to it. Wall occlusion also
functions on drops, limbs, and creatures.
Figure 12: Comparison when not near a wall vs near an occluded wall

Page 20 of 61
Plaques:
Plaques are frames placed above doors to indicate the creature the player is going to encounter.
Symbols on the plaque correspond to a major enemy’s classification, and the symbol's color
corresponds to the emissive accent color of the major enemy. Plaques also convey mutations,
with corresponding models placed surrounding the border of the plaque. The Dungeon and
Cavern uses a wooden plaque while the Nest uses a tablet.
Figures 13 & 14: Plaque Models and their creature symbols and mutation variants.

Lore Drops:
Lore drops are interactable objects that give the player insight into the game’s narrative. Each
lore drop has an associated interactable 3D model and 2D UI sprite counterpart that appears on
the screen. The model and sprite used are different on each floor to mirror the aesthetic of the
floor it's on. For the dungeon, it is a rolled-open and aged parchment scroll, the cavern floor is a
dusted, dirty notepad, and lastly, the research facility, are glowing tablets. All 3D lore drops have
a shimmering shader material applied to them that occasionally flashes to signify to the player
that it’s an interactable object. Some lore drops are in the form of images that are relevant to the
floor it's on.
Figure 15: Pop-Up of Lore Sprite

Page 22 of 61
Figure 16: In-Game Lore Drop
Level of Detail
3D:
Chimera’s LOD (Level of Detail) is low to high poly throughout all 3D asset creation.
The low poly threshold is any asset under 3,000 tris, and the mid poly above 3,000 but below
15,000, with high poly assets being any asset over 15,000 tris. All models are created within
these tri count definitions for the optimization of gameplay within a fully populated room. For
any 3D asset, retopology is a requirement to optimize the tri count.
With Chimera’s approach to stylization, characters and creatures use multiple edge loops
in prominent areas to achieve the desired edge flow in musculature and facial features. This
allows for the best deformation results possible on animated character assets and highlights
features for the orthographic camera. However, this contributes to the overall poly count of the
model in question. Therefore, artists are additionally required to reevaluate their topology
throughout creation to optimize before importing into engine.
For environmental assets, the same edge loop usage i used to achieve hard edges on
assets that require them. Depending on the floor, an asset’s edges are equested as softer or harder,
to fit the theming of the floor overall and whether the asset requires it. For softer edges, this
contributes to poly count and is a necessary sacrifice for any environment model assuming it’s
been optimized to be as low of a tri count as possible.
Ultimately, the detail in style is not hyper-realistic but also not composed of basic shapes.
Feigning a high detailed asset is made much simpler with the hand-painted textures providing the
illusion of complex shapes and the dim lighting obscuring the model detail.

Page 23 of 61
Character Asset Poly Count:

• Player Character, Creatures, Bosses, and the Shopkeeper:
o Optimized to fit within the mid poly range but can stretch into high as needed.
o Poly count ranges between 3,000 and 55,000 tri range depending on the creature
type/character complexity
o The following guidelines are used to enforce poly count with creatures/characters:
▪ Above 8,000 is excessive for minor creatures
▪ Above 12,000 is excessive for characters/bipeds
▪ Above 15,000 is excessive for major creatures
▪ Non-humanoid bosses should be optimized as much as possible but are
allowed to stretch into the high-poly range as necessary
• Limbs:
o Requires a lower poly count compared to entire characters/creatures
o Models are skinned to the player character and turned on/off via mesh swapping
during gameplay
o Individual limb tri counts constraint range from 500 to 2,500
• Environmental Art:
o The tri count of all combined environmental assets in any given room should not
exceed 50,000 for optimization purposes
Modular Content:
For every floor, trim sheets are used to provide texture to the walls, pillars, and floor assets. This
includes any variant to these assets such as walls with a door cutout for the door model to be
placed.
Figure 17: Dungeon wall trim sheet
In addition to trim sheets, there are a few tilable assets to aid in room creation. Specifically, the
Nest floor’s floor assets are individually tiled square and triangular panels that support the floors
given interior aesthetic with mostly 90-degree corners. There are also modular tiles that create
the exposed wire trap that runs through the floor tiles of the floor. Although the Dungeon’s assets
aren’t tilable, they are most like the Nest’s assets since the Cavern’s distinctive feature is having
curved walls to create a more organic feeling to the floor as a whole.

Page 24 of 61
2D:
• 2D assets maintain a stylized dark fantasy aesthetic but does not lean towards being
overly cartoonish or realistic
• Maintains a middle ground between simple and complex and complements its 3D asset
counterparts where necessary
• The outline of sprites uses a line thickness of 15 pt and inner details use 12 pt
• If the asset requires more detail artists may use 12 pt for the outline and 10-8 pt for the
inner details
• Canvas size varies from asset to asset, but all assets are created at least x2 larger than the
intended size for in-engine implementation to ensure there is no loss in quality
UI: Background Screen and Buttons:
• Many UI assets are created to imitate a styled stone texture and stone slabs
o The silhouettes of UI and buttons maintain a rectangular shape and have a few
cracks and broken off pieces to indicate old age
o The use of noise brushes aids in giving UI a rock-like effect
• UI outlines use a line thickness of 15 pt for outside lines and 12 pt for details in the inside
of the asset

Assets:
Workflow Pipeline:
• Acceptable Software's:
o 3D:
▪ Maya
▪ Blender
▪ Z-brush
o 2D:
▪ Clip Studio Paint
▪ Photoshop
▪ Illustrator
▪ Substance Painter
• All 2D assets created have the same consistent style that follow the same rules and tools
such as using the same brush size, color palette, and forms/shapes
Characters and Limbs: All characters and limbs are modeled, UV'd, rigged, animated, using
acceptable 3D development software's. Additionally, they are textured with Substance Painter
using custom brushes to create hand-painted texture maps.
Bosses: The bosses are the result of the Treachery attempting to recreate the Chimera and its
ability to graft limbs. These experiments are to safely replicate that ability onto themselves. On
all bosses, there is evidence of unsuccessful attempts with the use of multiple animals being
grafted onto them. Each boss has unique limb placements and are stylistically distinct from one
another, both in shape and number and/or type of animals grafted.
Drops:
• Trinkets: Trinkets dropped by major enemies are depicted as 3D generic brown fabric
burlap bag with a rope tied at the top while Bosses drop Crystallized Bags.
o A 2D UI pop-up appears with 3 choices of random trinket
o 2D trinket assets are all unique sprites
▪ Creation Process:
▪ Trinkets are created on a 500x500 canvas and 72 dpi

Page 26 of 61
Figure 21: A major enemy trinket drop vs boss trinket drop
• Healing grub: The healing rub is depicted as a white larva with red spots and lines; it also
has a crystalized variation which is dropped by bosses and grants a permanent overall
health increase.
Figure 22: A healing grub and crystallized healing grub as represented in game
• Relics: Each relic depicts a unique symbol on a rock slab and is 3D modeled with a 2D
counterpart. The unique symbols are engraved into the stone and are depicted with
different shapes, symbols, lines, and dots.
o In the Relic Shop, a 2D UI pop-up appears with multiple choices of unlocking a
relic
o 3D/2D relic assets are all unique assets

• Hazards: Hazards are 3D modeled, textured, and animated, with particle effects as
needed. Each floor has different hazards to fit the aesthetic of the floor it's on.
o Dungeon:
▪ Spikes: Comes up from a plate after stepping on it
o Crystal Cavern:
▪ Falling Stalactites: Rocks breaking apart particle system on impact
o The Nest:
▪ Open Electrical Wires: Electricity particles arcing back and forth through
rows of wires

Page 28 of 61
• Decorations: Except for decals, all decorations are 3D modeled and textured. Decorations
match the aesthetic of the floor it's on.
o Dungeon: All decorations on this floor are either wooden, aged metallic objects,
or aged stone. Ancient glyphs and tapestries allude to how long Treachery has
existed. Additionally, objects on this floor indicate age with tables and chairs
being broken and unorganized and having spiderwebs all throughout the floor..
o Crystal Cavern: All decorations on this floor are abandoned mining equipment
and crystals. Mining equipment is aged by making the metal look rusted
o The Nest: All decorations on this floor are modern and indicated with shiny
textures on metallic objects. Additionally, there is indication of the
Amalgamation’s destruction and massacre with the use of blood decals, feathers,
and 3D models of dead ravens.

Textures
Texture maps for asset creation in Chimera vary in complexity as certain models require
different maps to render as intended in the game. Textures in the game vary from floor to floor.
Earlier floors have matte textures and later floors gradually have textures containing metalness
and reflectivity. Artists use noise brushes where necessary to indicate age, wear and tear, and add
variety from texture to texture.
The floor and walls have distinct textures to set them apart. This is executed with noise
brushes and multi materials to create variety and make it distinct from each other.
Texture Pipeline: Once the model is fully optimized and UV’d, the artist must use an
image editor such as Photoshop or Substance Painter to texture the asset.
Particles
Particles in the game are used to emphasize the mood or support other visual components.
Environmental particle effects such as flames and smoke coming from torches in the Dungeon
emphasize a dark mood while glowing bubbling test tubes in the Nest emphasize a more modern
and sci-fi aesthetic.
Attack and abilities for the player and enemies are conveyed and emphasized through particles.
For instance, a glowing bite icon appears when the crocodile bites the player, and a rock trail
effect plays when the crocodile is underground to visualize where it is.
Particles are additionally used for hit impact conveyance, with a colored spark flashing on screen
whenever a hit collides with the player or an object. The spark being colored after the creature
that did the attacking.

Shaders
Shaders are used to emphasize existing visuals in the game.
• Disintegration of limb: Depicts a corrupted limb fading away
• Chimera’s back tattoo: Adds a glow to the tattoo to emphasize its importance

Post Processing
Look Up Tables:
Look Up Tables, or LUTs are used to adjust the color grade and exposure for each level. The
game was previously very dark, and hard to see in the shadows and as a result, losing detail. To
make the game visually interesting and help increase visibility in the dark areas, a LUT is made
to replace the default colors and adjust the brights.

Page 42 of 61
Figure 35 & 36: Depicts game before and after the use of a LUT
Animations
All the game’s animations are animated in a variety of fps ranges however, on import they are
converted to 60 fps for animation fidelity preservation during gameplay. Additionally, the
playback speed of these animations is modified in-engine as needed to make the default speeds
fit the needs of combat or another scenario best.

Cutscenes
Perspective, orthographic, pre-rendered, and in-game cutscenes are used throughout Chimera to
direct the narrative, enhance gameplay, and introduce bosses. Cutscenes use ranges from simpler
purposes like in the tutorial and in-between floor transitions for directing player focus or for full-
on. All cutscenes are created using Unity’s timelines or video players and require storyboard
submissions for approval before creation begins.
Intro Cutscene:
• First-person, pre-rendered cutscene from the Chimera’s perspective when the Chimera
first wakes up in the dungeon’s prison cell
• As the Chimera opens their eyes, the Outcast is in frame and finds the Chimera and says
“I’ve finally found you...” in a dialogue box
• The Chimera then slumps over and falls to the ground, which the Outcast then unlocks
the Chimera’s chains. With the Outcast’s mission complete, it sprints away as the
Chimera falls asleep once more
Figure 37: First-person intro cutscene

Page 50 of 61
Death Cutscene:
• Pre-rendered cutscene
• Once the player has died, a black screen appears with the Chimera's back tattoo
• The back tattoo glows and then dissolves, then displaying the post-run summary. If the
player presses retry, the back tattoo then reforms itself and flashes white, then fading
back into gameplay
• On a successful completion of a non-true ending run of the game, the death cutscene
plays with inverted colors, displaying a white background with a black tattoo dissolving
and reforming
Figure 38: Depicts death cutscene
Floor Transition Cutscenes:

• On defeating Scolopendra or the Wardens, a brief un-skippable cutscene plays of the
Chimera ascending stairs in the Dungeon or an elevator from the Crystal Cavern to the
respective next floors is displayed
Boss Intro Cutscenes:
• Scolopendra: Chimera walks into the boss room; metal bars rise from the entrance behind
them, sealing the player in the room. The camera begins to shake and nearby rocks on the
ground are seen shaking and moving from the ground rumbling. In the center of the room
cracks begin appearing on the floor. The rumbling then stops for a moment, for
Scolopendra to erupt out of the ground and roar. The fight begins.

Page 51 of 61
Figure 39: Scolopendra Cut Scene
• The Wardens: The Chimera enters a large vacant room, looking to their right and then
their left, unsure whether to expect a fight. The sound of a creature wailing and groaning
is heard but no source is visible. The camera rushes forward in front of the exit door, and
the two Wardens; Katayama and Nicaros, drop down from the ceiling ready for battle.
Figure 40: Wardens Cut Scene
• Amalgamation: The camera pans to the side of the Chimera as they enter the boss room; a
messy laboratory with a gigantic hole in front of the exit. In the distance is a jumpy
piranha dog, oblivious to the Chimera having arrived. When the piranha finally notices
the Chimera, it bares its fangs. A hand emerges from the hole, creating a shadow over the
dog, and slamming down killing it. The camera slowly pans upwards and outwards,
revealing the Amalgamation. Shot ends in an extremely wide angle shot to show size
comparison of Chimera to the Amalgamation.

Figure 41: Amalgamation Cut Scene
Bone Room Cutscene

• The bone room cutscene is an in-game cutscene that is triggered when the player
successfully beats the game five times
• The Outcast calls out to the Chimera and says that he wants to show them something
• The Outcast then reveals that inside of the dungeon’s prison room there is a secret door to
his private quarters, where they store all the bones he’s collected
• At the end of the hallway-shaped room there’s a chair that contains the relic needed to
unlock the true ending
• The Outcast gives the relic to the Chimera
True Ending Cutscene
• The true ending is an in-game cutscene that plays after the Chimera beats the
Amalgamation with the Echidna’s Blessing relic equipped
• The Chimera peers over into the pit that the Amalgamation fell into. The Outcast walks
behind him
• The rubble falls from the ceiling, forming a bridge that the two cross
• The Outcast walks besides the Chimera and reminisces about the outside world, and that
it has been many years since he’s last seen it, so he doesn’t know what to expect
• The Chimera and the Outcast then both walk towards the exit doors and go through the
doors
• The two enter a forest in a hilly landscape with mountains visible in the distant
background, the Outcast remarks on it being unfamiliar to him, suddenly a howl is heard
• A wolf and other creatures begin to appear out of the forest surrounding the pair, the
Outcast is stunned, stating that these creatures shouldn’t have been able to escape, the
camera zooms out as more creatures surround them. Camera cuts to the credits
