Rimfarers — press kit

Short description

A classic turn-based space RPG. Trade between the worlds of five races, fight pirates, take sides in their wars, play text quests with dozens of branches — and prepare for the Silence creeping in from the edge of the galaxy.

Description

You are the captain of a small ship in a vast, living galaxy. Nobody is waiting for a hero: traders haul cargo on their own business, pirates hunt the weak, nations go to war and make peace, and market prices shift with harvests, plagues and battles. Start as a trader, mercenary, pirate or explorer — and become whoever you want.

Key features

• A living economy. Every planet produces and consumes. Prices follow stock, events and wars.
• Five races and the Frontier. Terrans, Aelites, Kzarr, Gromms and Virren — each with its own laws, ships and temper.
• Wars and alliances. Races sign treaties, declare war and seize planets. Your side will be remembered.
• 20+ text quests. A caravan lost in the desert, a poisoner at a reception, the mad AI of a lighthouse.
• Turn-based combat. Lasers, missiles, plasma and railguns, shields, armor and ECM jammers.
• A common enemy. After a few chapters the Silence arrives from the rim. The races must unite.

About the project

Rimfarers is the first game of Khinkali Games, a small independent studio from Georgia. It grew out of love for the classic Space Rangers: an open galaxy where you are just one of many captains, with a living economy, wars between races and branching text adventures. Some art, sound and text were made with the help of generative AI tools and then edited by the developer; no generative AI runs during gameplay.
