About the Game

WHO IS HUMAN? WHO IS THE MIMIC?

Mimic is an asymmetrical multiplayer social-deduction horror game where teamwork is essential for survival, but your closest ally might be the very thing trying to consume you.

CHOOSE YOUR LOYALTY

Every round, players are assigned secret roles that dictate their win conditions. Will you work for the crew, the corporation, or the hunger?

  • THE CREW: Your goal is simple; repair the ship’s systems and escape. Work together to identify the threat amongst you before it’s too late.

  • THE AGENT: A corporate shadow with a private agenda. You aren’t the monster, but you aren’t a hero either. Sabotage the mission and ensure the survival of the Mimic.

  • THE MIMIC: An evolving biological terror. Blend in, gain their trust, and strike when they are most vulnerable. Change your form and go on the hunt to kill everyone or hide amongst them.

SUSPECT EVERYONE

With no weapons to fight back, you must learn your environment and manipulate the NPC Android hunting you all down.

  • Throw Suspicion: The map's NPC Android is hunting you all down in search for the Mimic. Point out who you suspect and the Android will hunt them down. But be careful; getting an innocent crewmate killed only makes the Mimic’s job easier.

  • Proximity Chat & Paranoia: Use voice communication to coordinate... or to lie. In the darkness, sounds carry, and silence is terrifying.

  • Twitch Chat Integration: Inject a little chaos into your game. Connect your game to Twitch and let your audience also cast their votes to manipulate the Android.

ENDLESS REPLAYABILITY

No two matches are the same. With randomized objectives, secret corporate agendas, and the unpredictable nature of player deception, every game is a fresh descent into madness.

  • Private Lobbies: Play with up to 9 friends for the ultimate "The Thing" style experience.

  • Affixes: Turn on a selection of Affixes to add further chaos to your match. One hit kills? Permanent fire? Invisible Mimics? Remix your game how you see fit.

  • Evolution: As the Mimic, choose how you hunt. Will you pick them off one by one in the vents, or lure the Android to kill them for you.

SYSTEM ADVISORY

The Icarus is failing. The oxygen is low. And one of you isn't what they seem.

Will you survive the Mimic, or will you become its next meal?
