RK Override

RK Override is a narrative game about Chimera, a Mecha Captain for Synergy Corp, fighting in a conflict with the Scrappers. For years, Synergy has defended the country and persuaded the Scrappers to accept the Preservation Statute, which prevents either side from killing the other. Instead, they fight using Mecha, with each Synergy Captain assigned an RK System—an Automated Replicant Knowledge System that copilots their Mecha and helps enforce the statute.

Chimera and Ki

Chimera has never trusted either the Scrappers or Synergy Corp and does not believe in the statute. They think the only way to end the war is to break it and wipe out the Scrappers. Their RK System, Ki, is optimistic and hopeful about the world, and tries to persuade Chimera to see value in the statute.

The mission

Chimera’s Mecha Squadron is sent to defend the Synergy Central Plant from an invading Scrapper force. The status quo changes unexpectedly, leaving the fate of the conflict in Chimera’s hands. The story takes about an hour and is fully voiced, with 2D animated cutscenes and 3D in-engine cinematics.

Fighting the statute

When you breach the statute, Ki interferes with your Mecha’s controls. You must fight back against that interference to pursue Chimera’s goals.
