Meet Your Maker - $29.99

You are the Custodian of the Chimera, a living experiment created as a last resort to save life on Earth. Enter a tactical battle for the planet’s most coveted resource and the key to your Chimera’s evolution: pure Genetic Material. Construct and fortify brutal Outposts to extract and guard your Genmat. Infiltrate and outsmart other players’ Outposts to gather more. Adapt, upgrade, and evolve... or die trying.

Build a maze of devious deathtraps designed to lure, outwit, and kill trespassing players. Combine a huge array of customizable blocks, traps, and guards. Pre-record custom patrol paths for your guards with the innovative AI recording system. Share your Outposts and watch other players take them on. Reap rewards from those who die, learn how to strengthen your creation from those who live, and never lose progress or resources by being raided.

Test your grit, wit, and reflexes by tactically raiding other players’ Outposts. Get in, grab the Genmat, and try to make it out alive. Gain an edge by choosing the right loadout (melee, ranged, defensive), perks, and consumables to match your challenge or playstyle. Take another step forward with every attempt. Reveal a new strategy with every death. Master every Outpost that stands in your way.

Combine your creativity and build with a friend or join forces to raid Outposts as a team of two. Watch raiders challenge your Outposts via the replay system and never miss a kill. Grow your Outpost’s reputation with community feedback as Raiders award accolades that best describe your creation. Easily find your friends and favorite Builders with the Social Raid menu and play their Outposts any time.
