About this game

Now with public lobby support!

Mimicry!
is a chaotic multiplayer hide-and-seek game inspired by games like Gmod Prop Hunt and Witch It!, where a bunch of cute lil' Mimics have escaped their laboratory containment to cause mischief and mayhem.

With your friends, up to 12 players total, play as either:

  • The Exterminators: Mysterious figures clad in bright yellow HAZMAT suits. Use a deadly array of weapons and gadgets to locate and hunt down the rogue Mimics!

  • The Mimics: Shapeshifting creatures that can transform into any object in the room to hide in plain sight, while they must consume other objects to sate their enormous appetite!

When a player dies as a Mimic, they join the Exterminator team, so you're always a part of the action!

Will the Exterminators restore order to the lab by eradicating the Mimics, or will the Mimics survive long enough to wreak havoc?

Disguise as Props

Mimics must survive by blending in with their environment, turning into objects and orienting themselves into an inconspicuous location.

Eat to Stay Alive

However, Mimics can't just sit still the whole game! Over time, they will slowly start to get hungry, rumbling their stomach and alerting the Exterminators if they don't keep their bellies full. Fortunately, they can eat the objects around them by shooting out a small tendril to consume the prop and regain some hunger. Just make sure no-one's watching first!

Use Abilities to Escape

If you are discovered as a Mimic, you can revert into your natural form and use abilities like the Dash to escape, and perhaps run to a nearby Vent that you can slip through. These abilities do cost Hunger though, so don't be using them too often!

Hunt with Deadly Weapons and Useful Tools

As an Exterminator, use flamethrowers, grenade launchers, burger proximity mines (?!) and a whole arsenal of dangerous weapons to search rooms and flush out any fake furniture hiding there!

Exterminators also have access to powerful tools, like the Mimic Finder, which can tell them whether or not a Mimic is in the same room with them to help narrow down their search.

Customisations!

Dress to impress with a wide variety of hats and colours to choose from to make your characters your own!
