- Anyone wanting a single-player game instead of online matches for up to 9 players
Our take on Mimicry
Instead of presenting enemies as clearly identifiable opponents, Mimicry makes identity the central uncertainty. The monster can resemble another participant, replacing straightforward confrontation with hidden-role play, shared tasks, voice deception, and sudden reversals.
What is Mimicry?
Mimicry is an online horror game for matches of up to 9 players.
One participant is infected by an alien parasite and can take another player’s appearance or transform into a terrifying monster. The monster blends into the group, uses stealth, and attempts to eliminate the squad. Survivors cooperate, complete tasks, identify the threat, and escape while questioning the people around them. Matches include deception, betrayal, real-time voice chat, and dark atmospheric maps. Players can customize hair, facial features, clothing, and other character details. Each round is presented as unpredictable, with players taking either the monster or survivor role within the match.
