Mimesis is built on a genuinely brilliant idea: an AI monster that learns how players talk, mimics our behavior, and blends into the group so naturally that you can’t tell who’s real and who’s fake. On paper, that sounds incredible. But in reality, the game just isn’t polished enough to reach that vision. The AI doesn’t actually “learn” anything meaningful. Instead of adapting to conversations, it randomly repeats lines players said earlier with zero understanding of context. You’ll be trying to figure out who’s human, and suddenly the monster blurts out a completely unrelated voice line. The movement animations suffer from the same issue—they’re stiff, unnatural, and nowhere near how real players behave—making it far too easy to spot the AI. Even when you do identify the monster, the game doesn’t reward you for it. In most games, catching the imposter feels like a victory. In Mimesis, being right just gets you killed. The monster walks up, grabs your neck, and instantly one-shots you with no chance to react. There’s no teamwork payoff, no satisfying moment of deduction—just punishment for noticing. The player controls add even more frustration. The movement system feels extremely limited and clunky. Jumping is unsatisfying, like you’re hitting your head on an invisible ceiling every time. There’s no crouching at all, which removes an entire layer of mobility and immersion. Everything feels rigid, slow, and uncomfortable, making the experience less engaging than it should be. Mimesis truly has potential. The concept is creative, the atmosphere is intriguing, and the idea of AI deception could be amazing. But right now, the AI behavior, movement system, gameplay balance, and reward structure all need serious refinement before the game can become what it’s aiming for.Show moreShow less
The monsters are not your true enemies. It is your friend with the shotgun in hand who thinks you are not real.Show moreShow less
They support Krafton, an AI first money hungry company, the same ones that are trying to bully the Subnautica devs out of a bunch of million USD, like that money would even matter to their corporate wealth AT ALL. Screw any and all games & devs that work with KRAFTON (Also if this was a co-operation from the beginning, I am severely disappointed in myself for not checking prior to playing, as a friend gifted me this game, so I never really even checked out the store page. I would have never supported this studio if I knew KRAFTON was involved.)Show moreShow less
Developers claim that IA learn and try to accurately mimic players in every possible way. Me and my friends used a jump and an emote to spot the fake. A fake immedietaly appeared and started to jump and use the same emote. When 1 or 2 friends start dying, ♥♥♥♥♥ hits the fan really fast. 10/10 would reccomend with friendsShow moreShow less
The game is awesome, the concept of it at least. Although as of now, completely unpolished. It takes the monster PROBABLY around 2 - 3 hours to learn how to mimic good enough which i'm not complaining about but I think it should store every time you play so you don't have to wait so long for it to learn once again you know? and I hate how there'll be like 6 mimics chasing you, it kind of defeats the scariness of the mimic by throwing it at you INSTANTLY. I wish they made you wait to even see the mimic let it learn more words and phrases and actions from you before sending it out right away, and letting the other monsters in the game shine for a bit. As of now, I won't be giving my money to play this game. I hope they read the reviews and genuinely fix issues and listen to ideas and I will 100% buy it again. I do not recommend this game in the current state though.Show moreShow less
Played as a group of 4 and came up with a system where you dab if you're friendly. Until there were 5 people in the room dabbingShow moreShow less
Don't be fooled by all the game clips online or the positive reviews. This game is genuinely not in playable condition and becomes extremely stale fast. The AI doesn't really trick you and takes a long time to pick up on your phrases and movements. Its $10 and you could just buy a fully fleshed out game like Lethal Company, Escape the Backrooms, or REPO instead and have many more hours of fun with friends for the same price. If this wasn't a gift I would have refunded it. Edit: The Developers have been using Generative AI which is disrespectful to all other indie developers who put legitimate work into their projects. Please do not support these people.Show moreShow less
This game is a next level mind f***. Purely to be enjoyed with friends. It will either strengthen your friendships or destroy it lmao One minute everyone's accounted for, the next you got 7 different mimics all holding the same item as you speaking sentences you said 4 games ago. And if any of you manage to get out alive, then good luck trusting each other. Gotta have a solid identification system. We've found divide and conquer to be the best strategy if possible. 2 teams split up and clear the place out. The mimics are smart and know exactly what to say and hold to trick you, so test them with emotes and new sentences. Overall really fun game though. Couple notes: 1.) Mimics strength/stamina should be nerfed juuuuuuuuust a tad. and maybe some more options to fight back? But at the same time i wanna see them get smarter! 2.) Economy could be a bit more relaxed... Not a lot of interactable/sellable items and most are very cheap, kinda hard to keep up with cost of tools and repairs. 3.) MAPS! MORE MAPS :) 4.) A backpack upgrade would be really cool! 5.) Maybe more stuff to goof around with in the repair depot? mini games, duels, items, etc.? 6.) If we can encounter mimics in the outside area, i feel like we should also be able to find items out there as well... especially with how big the area is! That being said, i certainly don't wanna see the game get TOO easy, but those are just some thoughts that came to mind. I know the game is still in early access, but its already such an awesome game and I'm super excited to see what else comes from it :) Great job guys!Show moreShow less
ReLU games is a company that has only created and sold GenAI games up until mimesis, they have seemingly used generative AI in this game as well without disclosing it at the bottom of the store page, you can tell by just walking up to any poster in the metro and looking at the artwork and see the signs of chatGPT 3.0 and 4.0 artifacting. They've also supposedly used it for concept art which is why a lot of the character and enemy designs are so inconsistent with each-other but I never found any proof of this, but I would not be surprised if it turned out to be true anyways. I don't care how you feel about AI usage in videogames, its scummy if you don't disclose it for those who do.Show moreShow less
