## About MIMESIS

MIMESIS is an early-access horror game developed and published by ReLU Games, Inc., with KRAFTON, Inc. publishing, released in 2025 at $9.99. This four-player online co-op survival experience tasks teams with identifying AI-controlled mimics that impersonate squad members, using eerily convincing voice lines to blend in. Players engage with social deduction mechanics alongside environmental interaction, resource scarcity, and permadeath. Reviewers highlight that the extraction-style gameplay creates high-stakes co-op where trust becomes the core mechanic, and identifying mimics produces constant paranoia. Players describe the experience as atmospheric, dark, and punishing, with sessions designed for focused, sit-down play. The game is verified on Steam Deck and holds a 79% positive rating from 1,794 Steam reviews.
