Chaos Chain

Chaos Chain is a story-rich open-world game set half a century in the future, in a society fractured by economic collapse, crime and poverty. After a pandemic, powerful pharmaceutical corporations drive medical advances while healthcare prices soar. Cryptocurrencies replace other monetary systems, leaving many people destitute; war, pollution and resource exploitation deepen the crisis, and the U.N. has fallen. Society has broken down into castes, and necessities are beyond most people’s means.

You are buried in debt to a notorious loan shark and must enter a dangerous underworld where betrayal is never far away. Your choices shape who you trust or oppose, how you survive and how your story unfolds. Exploration, optional quests, dialogue and situations offer different outcomes, while moral alignment, reputation and a heat system affect the world as the game progresses.

The world

The game features grungy environments, dynamic weather and a day-and-night cycle, alongside original lore, extensive dialogue and world-building, and street slang. Beyond the sprawling settlements lie the Rivens: polluted air, acidic rain, radiated overgrowth, toxic water, mutated beasts and pervasive hopelessness make the wastelands dangerous, and few survive outside the walls.

World modifiers and randomized events change each playthrough, so no two runs are the same. Optional quests and branching outcomes also give you freedom to shape your experience.

Build your character

Character creation offers options for backgrounds, traits, flaws, skills, abilities, appearances, portraits, occupational perks and talents. You can import custom portraits, and develop your character further with psionics, cyberware and bioware upgrades.

Equipment and allies

You can use improvised melee weapons and armor, small arms ranging from pistols to sniper rifles, exotic weapons, heavy ordnance, military-grade body armor, different ammunition types and high-tech gadgets. Companions have their own stories and abilities, and upgradable drones can fight alongside you.

Hacking systems

A simulated system-hacking feature lets you access terminals to find information, alter the environment and do more.
