Uncleberry dabbles in the dark cuisine in Chimeraland | Monster Factory

Join Uncleberry as he tackles Chimeraland’s many fantastical challenges, like cleaning, cooking, caring for pets, and playing video games! Try to kill a 500 year-old demigod, learn the importance of following the recipe, and unwind with some aspirational home decor programming. It’s Chimeraland!

God, seeing Uncleberry’s body in movement really drives home how terrible it all is. We haven’t seen a polygonal nightmare this bad since Truck Shepard, and Chimeraland didn’t even require you to hack the Matrix to get like this - the pterodactyls came prebuilt

Enjoy? Maybe. Expect? Unfortunately yes. Idk, I've put a few hours into it, it's definitely a "width of an ocean, depth of a puddle" type of game so far.

[@CaptainSweatpants90]

Cleaning is the big one honestly. A game just isn't quite complete unless you can shine up some spheres.

[@iblame_nargles]

I'll never understand how _so many_ of these games that are FULL of mechanics and are weirdly in depth just kinda come from no where. It's wild.

[@Joescotterpuss]

The developer just went down a rabbit hole and/or just had a lot of fun fleshing out a mechanic.

[@Champiness]

@@turkicnomad5632 I’ve heard them described (by Pat and Woolie of the Castle Super Beast podcast) as “trap MMOs”. A robust character creator + cool character-action gameplay with an apparent depth of mechanics out the gate, then a waiting game to see how many of the wide net of players you brought in with those first two selling points are whales who are psychologically incapable of dropping the game when it would otherwise have become clear that only the bare-minimum effort has been put in to keep stringing their attention along.

[@nessesaryschoolthing]

If they came from a AAA developer, they would have been forced to stop experimenting with new mechanics because they have to get the game out by it's release date under CRUNCH. Games made by total nobodies have no hype release dates, so they can afford to screw around and release it when they're done with it

[@lisah-p8474]

I can't imagine why there are so many half-built player homes in the starting area that were clearly abandoned early on. It's like their owners built them and never came back to this incredible game. Weird. 🤔
