+# Game Title
+CHIMERA
+
+## Concept
+Project: Chimera is a fast-paced, tactical, near-future battle royale first-person shooter. 120 players drop into a decaying, experimental weapons testing zone and must fight to be the last squad standing. Beyond scavenging for standard military hardware, players hunt for "Chimeric Mods" – volatile, prototypical attachments that can be fused onto weapons mid-match to create powerful and unpredictable hybrid armaments.
+
+## Gameplay
+The primary objective is survival – be the last individual or squad alive. The core gameplay loop follows the classic Battle Royale formula:
+
+Infil & Drop: Players choose a landing spot on a massive, diverse map called 'The Krovka Enclave' and deploy from a high-altitude stealth transport.
+
+Loot & Scavenge: Upon landing, players must quickly find weapons, body armor, medical supplies, and equipment scattered throughout the environment. Gear is tiered by rarity (Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary).
+
+The Chimera System: The key mechanic is finding base weapons (ARs, SMGs, Snipers etc.) and separate Chimeric Mods. These mods can be applied at designated "Fusion Stations" on the map or with a rare consumable item. For example, a player could fuse a "Chain Lightning" mod to a shotgun, causing rounds to arc between close-range targets, or fuse a "Thermal Grenade" mod to their standard explosive, allowing it to highlight enemies through walls for a short duration upon detonation.
+
+Engage & Eliminate: Players engage in high-lethality, skill-based gunfights with a low Time-to-Kill (TTK), similar to Call of Duty. Movement mechanics are fluid, including tactical sprint, sliding, and mantling.
+
+Survive the Collapse: A deadly, encroaching energy field systematically shrinks the playable area, forcing confrontations and ensuring a final, climactic battle.
+
+The Blacksite: Eliminated players get one chance to return. They are sent to a 1v1 arena called 'The Blacksite' where they fight another eliminated player with a randomized, stripped-down loadout. The winner gets to redeploy. Teammates can also bring back fallen comrades by collecting their "Data Tag" and uploading it at a Buy Station.
+
+## Unique Features
+Dynamic Weapon Fusion: Unlike pre-set loadouts, the Chimera System allows for on-the-fly weapon customization that fundamentally changes a weapon's function mid-match. This creates an ever-shifting meta where players must adapt their strategy based on the mods they find.
+
+Zone Anomalies: The map is subject to random, world-altering events. These "Anomalies" could include a Gravity Flux that allows for higher jumps in a specific region, an EMP Burst that temporarily disables all electronic sights and mini-maps, or the activation of a high-security AI Sentinel that guards a vault of top-tier loot.
+
+Tactical Operators: Players choose from a roster of Operators, each with a unique passive perk (e.g., faster armor plate application) and a tactical ability on a cooldown (e.g., a deployable Sensor Dart, a smoke wall projector). These abilities are designed to complement gunplay, not overpower it.
+
+Contracts & Intel: Players can pick up contracts mid-match, such as "Bounty" (hunt a specific enemy squad) or "Data Heist" (secure and upload data from a laptop), which reward cash for Buy Stations and valuable loot.
+
+## Target Audience
+This game is for mature audiences (17+) who are fans of competitive first-person shooters and the battle royale genre. The target player enjoys the fast-paced, responsive gunplay of franchises like Call of Duty and the strategic squad-based elements of games like Apex Legends, but is looking for deeper mid-match customization and unpredictable gameplay elements.
+
+## Art Style & Theme
+Theme: Near-Future Military Sci-Fi. The setting is a decommissioned and forgotten corporate state's weapons development zone. The theme combines gritty, realistic military aesthetics with grounded, advanced prototype technology. The narrative tone is serious and intense, hinting at a corporate espionage story gone horribly wrong.
+
+Art Style: Hyper-realistic. The visuals prioritize realism in environments, character models, and weapon designs, grounded in modern military hardware. The "Chimeric" elements introduce a touch of advanced sci-fi, with glowing energy conduits on modded weapons and sleek, but functional, UI elements. The overall look is clean, sharp, and optimized for competitive clarity.
+
+## Inspiration
+Call of Duty: Warzone: The core inspiration for the fast-paced gunplay, low TTK, movement mechanics, and the Buy Station/respawn systems.
+
+Escape from Tarkov: The concept of deep, meaningful weapon modification is a direct inspiration for the Chimera System, but streamlined for a faster, more accessible battle royale experience.
+
+Apex Legends: The Operator system with unique tactical abilities and the importance of team synergy are key inspirations.
+
+Battlefield Series: The idea of large-scale, dynamic map-changing events ("Zone Anomalies").
+
+## Tools or Platforms (Optional)
+Engine: Unreal Engine 5, to achieve the desired high-fidelity, hyper-realistic graphics and leverage its advanced lighting (Lumen) and geometry (Nanite) systems.
+
+Platforms: PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S. The game is designed to be a premium, next-generation experience.
