01Demo
NimaStrangerMom
The demo opening recipe. It unlocks the first dialogue option and establishes that words can turn a frightening unknown into a relationship.

Am I Nima word combinations
A searchable lab for the demo’s word list and recipe web. Verified combinations, a vocabulary bank, and a local notebook for the combinations you discover yourself.
Official UI / HO! GamesA How to use this page
A notebook for a mind that keeps changing.
Am I Nima has no public full-game recipe database yet. The demo is the only playable version, and the full release is scheduled for November 27, 2026. So this page does not pretend to know all 5,000+ combinations.
Instead, it collects what can be checked: the recipes visible in clean demo footage, a hands-on preview, or a clearly labelled community post. Search the list, mark the words you have found, and use the notebook for your own experiments.
Demo-verified
Seen in playable footage
Recipes in this group can be observed in the public demo. They are not developer-published solutions.
Press-verified
Reported by a preview
One recipe comes from a hands-on preview that describes combining Nima and Dad to make Grief.
Community
Not independently checked
Player reports are useful leads, not proof. They stay in a separate, collapsed section.
Search demo-verified combinations, mark the words you have discovered, and keep your own notebook of theories. Everything is stored locally in your browser — no account, no upload.
Demo spoilers ahead. The recipe list includes names and story-linked words from the public demo. No full-game ending conditions are revealed here.
Recipe index
Demo combinations
These are combinations we could verify in demo footage or a hands-on preview. The result can include more than one word. The full game will have 230+ words and 5,000+ combinations, so this is a starting set, not a complete solution.
02Demo
MomNimaFamilyFearLove
This pair can return more than one word at once. Treat the word web as a set of related thoughts, not a one-in, one-out crafting table.

NimaDadGrief
A quietly devastating combination reported in a hands-on preview. It gives the player an emotional word before the story explains why.
Verified against: CtrlAltNoob ↗04Demo
GriefPainMom
One of the demo's most revealing chains: grief and pain loop back to Mom. It is a strong example of how a recipe can carry a thesis, not just a puzzle key.

LoveDadWater
The result hints at the connection between Nima's father, water and the accident.

FishFatherJames Pond
A pet-name pun that confirms how specific the game's word web can be. "James Pond" is a pet fish, not the shark plush.

SwimmingFossilRiver
Connects Nima's strongest physical skill with the origin of the fossil and the river where she says the accident happened.

MotherEnvyForgiveness
A late-demo pairing that suggests Mom's feelings toward Nima's father are more complicated than her calm face admits.

EnvyDadLife
Another ambiguous family result. The demo leaves the exact meaning to the player.

PretendGuiltBoredom
Found while interacting with Nima's dolls. A small, characterful recipe that shows the game is not only about grief.

These were reported by players in the Steam community. We have not independently verified them against clean demo footage, so they carry a lower confidence label.
CCommunity
PoisonMindVideo Games
Community-reported joke combination from the demo. Included as an example of the game's dry humour, not as a verified story clue.

PrideHomeCanada
Community-reported demo result. The game is made by a Vancouver studio, but we have not independently confirmed this recipe.

MomAgeFear
Community-reported recipe. If it behaves the same in the full game, it suggests Mom's fear is connected to ageing or mortality.

DadOldDeath
Community-reported recipe. The result aligns with what the demo implies about Nima's father, but it is not part of the official description.

Why there is no “all 5,000 combinations” list
HO! Games says the full game will have more than 230 unique words and more than 5,000 ways to combine them. That does not mean every possible pair is a valid recipe. It means the studio is building a dense network of words, some of which produce one new concept, some of which produce several, and some of which will do nothing.
Before release, no one outside the development and QA process can verify the complete network. A site that publishes thousands of “recipes” today would either be copying the demo’s small dataset or inventing outcomes. We choose to label the gaps.
How we decide a recipe is verified
| Our label | What it means | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Demo | We can see the pair and its result in demo footage, or the demo itself documents it. | Nima + Stranger → Mom |
| Press | A named publication describes the result in a hands-on preview. | Nima + Dad → Grief |
| Community | A player reports it in Steam Community. We preserve the source but do not treat it as verified. | Poison + Mind → Video Games |
We do not present these as official solutions
These are observations from a public preview. The full game may change the demo’s word list, result ordering or even specific recipes. We will retest and update the lab after launch.
What counts as a valid combination?
In the demo, you drag a word from the library into Nima’s mind and drop it onto another word. The resulting thought is stored in the library. Some pairs create a single concept; others can produce several at once. If a result appears to be a phrase, treat it as one vocabulary entry unless the game itself splits it into multiple words.
The game is not an endless-crafting toy with no consequences. Its words are emotional evidence. The most useful combinations are not necessarily the rarest; they are the ones that give Nima language for a feeling she cannot otherwise express.
How to experiment without wasting a run
- Test combinations before a formal test scene, not during the conversation.
- Try words from different categories: person + emotion, place + memory, object + body.
- After a new result appears, combine it with the people in the scene.
- Keep an eye on the library after each merge. A single pair may unlock more than one word.
- Use the notebook to record dead ends as well as successes. A failed pair can be useful later.
What happens after release?
On release, we will add a full spoiler-separated index as combinations are verified from the retail build. The Word Fusion Lab’s structure is designed to grow: recipes can be added without turning the page into a wall of anonymous keyword blocks. Until then, the demo recipes and an honest “unknown” label are more useful than a fabricated complete list.
If you have a verified screenshot or a reproducible demo route, use thecontact page and include the words, result and source. We do not publish unsourced submissions as fact.
