Creepy Jar, best known for survival title Green Hell, has announced that its recently revealed Chimera has been renamed StarRupture. The game was initially announced in June. The change in name comes because Creepy Jar wanted to move away from a name that evoked myths, as well as having a name that stands out more.
Creepy Jar founder and CEO, Krzysztof Kwiatek said, “We wanted to come up with a new title that more accurately described the dangerous sci-fi world we’re creating.We had to break away from the mythology-based roots of Chimera and we landed on StarRupture. Originating from the base word ‘rupture’—as in a break or a disturbance—the new name also closely ties to the name of the planet’s star which is aptly named, Ruptura.”
Creepy Jar will be releasing regular development logs to talk about StarRupture and the progress that is being made on it. Creepy Jar is looking to release the game into Early Access on PC first. The change of setting to a new planet allowed Creepy Jar to add more dynamic weather to the world, which will have an impact on your base building. Players take on the role of an exile from Earth who has been tasked with mining and expanding the base as part of their sentence. Players will be able to play solo or up to four player co-op. As well as dealing with the weather issues the planet is also home monsters that will not take kindly to the base being in their space. There will be regular cycles of attacks, and it will be about learning on how to deal with those threats to make the base more resilient.
