FLAGSHIP PROJECT
CHIKA
An action-adventure where imagination rewrites reality.
CHIKA is WILD LAB’s flagship original project, set in the world of Merivayne.
It is being developed through illustrations, stories, short animation, worldbuilding, production logs, and interactive experiments.
A larger action-adventure game is planned as the project’s world, characters, systems, and audience grow. CHIKA combines a storybook-like visual world with political conflict, hidden histories, and questions about who has the right to shape reality.
THE WORLD
Merivayne
Merivayne is a world shaped by imagination, memory, stories, political power, and the people capable of giving those forces form.
Its stability is threatened by the disappearance of the previous Story Weaver, competing institutions, hidden histories, and struggles over who has the right to shape reality.
THE STORY WEAVER
Imagination becomes action.
Story Weavers are rare individuals capable of turning powerful imagination into changes within Merivayne.
CHIKA begins with limited control over this ability. Through training, conflict, discovery, and choice, she learns to reshape paths, repair parts of the world, solve environmental problems, and use imagination during combat.
The power to rewrite reality is not only a gift. It also raises questions about responsibility, freedom, control, and who should be allowed to change the world.

In DevelopmentHOW THE PROJECT GROWS
World first. Game later.
CHIKA is being developed first as a living world and original IP through illustrations, stories, animation, character development, worldbuilding, interactive experiments, and production logs.
The larger game will grow from the audience, systems, characters, visual language, and narrative foundation created during this process.
