What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“At Volok, our goal is simple: make a first game that won’t make you regret buying it. Early Access lets you vent your frustrations while we polish the rough draft into something worth your time.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Chimera C.U.S.T.O.M. XG will be cooking in Early Access until Q4 2025 because rushing genetic mayhem just leads to screaming bugs and regret.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“In the full game, we plan to include more biomes to stomp through, more bosses to flatten, and more secrets to trip over. And because we like going overboard, we're planning some gloriously absurd XG weapons and augments that'll let you juice Animal Genetics to xtreme greatness. Early Access will give us time to smooth out the kinks, balance the chaos, and make sure your build-breaking shenanigans are polished to a shine.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version throws you into the first biome, hands you four starter Animal Genetics, a respectable arsenal of weapons, and a full rogue-lite loop to see just how far you can push your C.U.S.T.O.M. builds before everything goes gloriously wrong.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Anyone who grabs the Early Access version, whether now or later, gets the full game for free when it launches. No surprise fees, no shady DLC schemes. The price might go up once we’re out of Early Access, because, shocker, polishing a game takes time and effort. But the only thing that really matters? Making sure the final price actually makes sense for a game that’s finished, fun, and not held together with duct tape.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We’ll be haunting social media and lurking in our Discord, so you’ll have plenty of chances to yell at us directly. We actually want to hear from you, the good, the bad, and the “why is this on fire?”, because building this thing with the community beats guessing in the dark. Expect open channels, real feedback loops, and developers who ackshually read what you write.”

About This Game

WAKE UP. REALITY’S CRACKED.

Aliens have finally invaded, loud, mean, and not here for us. Earth has been scorched, defenses are obliterated, but the war isn’t over. What are the invaders after?

You are a C.U.S.T.O.M. soldier, engineered with the perfect balance of strength, aggression, and stupidity. Fuse with Animal Genetics, load up on high tech weaponry, and run throat first into danger.

Blast your way through sewer scum in New Los Angeles to the bloodied snows in Antarctica and more! Which timeline will bring forth the truth?

NO LIMITS ONLY XTREME GREATNESS. 

Clear waves, choose mutations, and morph your DNA to the extreme! Stack damage, hoard HP, size up your bullets, and more. Special gene augments crank your Animal Genetics to their evolutionary breaking point.

High-speed nuanced twin-stick action with melee, dodging, grenade cooking, animal DNA, and endless augment combos. Every button counts and every move has teeth.

Whatever keeps you alive is allowed, despite what Geneva says.

C.U.S.T.O.M.-IZE EVERYTHING. REGRET NOTHING.

Mod your weapons on the fly, pick the affix that fits your attitude, and become the problem. Master the Animal Power that accentuates your playstyle, because destruction should be custom-tailored.

On your missions through space and time, perfect your genetic signature until you’re a walking war crime.

SQUAD LOCKED. GUNS LOADED.

Squad up in 4-player co-op with your emotional support gremlins and jump right into the action. The game scales with your crew, so every run hits hard, stays fresh, and keeps you coming back for more.

Perfect for tryhards and button-mashers alike because death’s a lot less lonely with friends.

TEST IT. BREAK IT. SHAPE IT.

Your voice shapes the game. We listen, tweak fast, and update even faster.

Join early. Make it yours.

CRACK THE PLANET. PUNCH SOME ALIENS.

Dive into the lurch with ever changing paths of chaos, making every run unique. Pull the thread with help from unlikely allies. Will you merely scrape the surface, or delve deeper into the conspiracy? Every run brings you closer to the truth!
