Am I Nima Wiki
Fan-Made Community GuideAm I Nima is a psychological horror game from HO! Games. You play Nima Lee, a girl who wakes with no reliable memories, restrained in her mother's basement. Instead of picking dialogue from a list, you collect words from objects and combine them in Nima's mind to answer her tests. This wiki covers the free Steam demo: reported combinations, the safe code, the fixed ending and release date.

Guide: How the Demo Actually WorksA practical Am I Nima guide to the word-combining demo: how the brain library works, how to read Mom, and where the build ends.
How to Get Obsession (Life + Fossil)Players report Obsession comes from combining Life and Fossil in Am I Nima's word library, plus how the word-combining loop works in the demo.What is Am I Nima?
Am I Nima is a first-person psychological horror game from HO! Games, whose team includes Jeremy Ho as creative director and artist, Alvin Ho as lead programmer and Allison Ho as 3D artist. Nima Lee wakes in her mother's basement with almost no memory, and the only way out is to pass her tests and convince her she really is her daughter. The word system is the main mechanic: you inspect objects, collect words that stand for Nima's thoughts, combine them in her mind, and drag the results to her mouth to form dialogue.
The playable slice most people know is the free Steam demo, which players have written about since early 2025. HO! Games says the demo covered Chapter 1 and half of Chapter 2, and that the finished game spreads more than 15 tests across five chapters with more than 230 unique words and 13 endings. The full release is scheduled for November 27, 2026 on Steam, after an October 8, 2026 date was moved back. Until then the demo is the only build players can run, and nearly every page here is grounded in it.
This site is unofficial and assembled from saved sources: the Steam store page and Community hub, demo write-ups from outlets and blogs, and player explainer videos. Where players disagree, we say so rather than picking a winner. Where a claim is a single poster's report, we mark it as reported. Story interpretation stays in the story category and is labelled as interpretation throughout.

Eight modules, ordered the way we would read them: start with the demo itself, learn the word loop, then go after specific answers, the story and the release schedule. Each module links to one article or category.
Am I Nima Beginner Guide
Start here. What the demo actually is, how the word library and the mouth area work, how to read the mother's questions, and where the build stops. Written for someone who just launched the demo.
Am I Nima Demo
A player-facing account of Chapter One: the basement opening, the first meal, the bedroom exploration and the two object tests at the table. Also covers difficulty reports and the Steam Deck UI quirk one previewer hit.
Am I Nima Codes and Word Combinations
The answer hub for the words people search by name: how combining works, which pairs players report, and what to do when a pairing is refused. Use it before asking in a forum thread about a word you cannot find.
Am I Nima Obsession
How players get the Obsession word, why the recipe is Life + Fossil, and why a second poster says the game hints at it in the bedroom. Also explains where the two halves usually come from in the demo.
Am I Nima Safe Code
The safe in the demo opens with POND according to a player in the Steam Community thread. This page explains how the clue points there, which wrong guesses preceded it, and why the locker is a separate puzzle.
Am I Nima Endings
Why the demo funnels everyone into the same closing scene, the fossil answers players tried, and how many demo outcomes people report. The full game's 13 endings are still undocumented, and the page says so plainly.
Am I Nima Story Explained
The demo's plot without the theorising: what Nima is told, what her room says about her, what the fossil scene changes, and which fan reading (parasite, grief, impostor) each clue supports.
Am I Nima Release Date and Where to Play
The date, the delay, and the practical question of what you can download today. The Steam listing gives November 27, 2026 for the full game and a free demo for Windows and macOS now.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there an Am I Nima demo I can play right now?
Yes. The free demo sits on the same Steam listing as the full game, and as of 2026-10-18 the Steam page says the full game is not yet available to buy. The listing covers Windows and macOS. Steam Deck compatibility is marked Unknown on the store page, so there is no store rating to rely on for handheld play.
When does the Am I Nima full game come out?
The Steam listing gives November 27, 2026 as of 2026-10-18. HO! Games had announced October 8, 2026 during the Story Rich Showcase in June 2026, then published a Steam Community update on September 5, 2026 moving the date to November 27, 2026 for extra polish, testing and bug fixing. That is the latest schedule; release dates can move again.
Does the Am I Nima demo have a good ending?
No clean route has been reported. In the demo, Nima is sedated after the fossil test, wakes restrained, and the scene ends before any aftermath. Players have tried several different last answers, including variations about her work and about being shown the fossil, and none is reported to get Nima out alive. The full game's 13 endings are a separate matter and have not been detailed by the studio.
How do word combinations work in Am I Nima?
You click objects to collect words, then combine two library words to produce a new idea, and drag that idea down to Nima's mouth to use it in conversation. Players report starting with Nima and Stranger. Not every pairing works, and a refused pairing usually means one of the two is meant to be spoken rather than combined. A combination log is something players have asked the developer for.
Is there a locker code in the Am I Nima demo?
The code players have actually shared is POND, and it opens the safe in the demo's Life/Fossil stretch, not the day-two locker. The Steam thread that gives POND never mentions the locker, and the Steam board carries a separate topic about a locker at the start of day two with no answer in that thread as of 2026-10-18. Treat the two as distinct puzzles.
