About This Game

Mankind has colonized Proxima Centauri b, a tiny desolate world around a dim star, just 4 light years away. The Mimic is a predator native to this world. It's a perfect hunter and it has escaped containment. You're all that's left from a crew of 10.

The Mimic

In this unique platform puzzle solver, you take control of the Engineer whose every move is shadowed by the Mimic. As you move, so does the Mimic. There is a connection between the two of you, if you get your Mimic killed, you die. If you get too close, you die.

You don't just have the Mimic to fear, there's also the deadly environment you have to watch out for too. Malfunctioning defence systems, security grids and dead ends where you can trap yourself in with your Mimic, could all easily lead to your death.

Not Recommended

The physics are a little janky, which occasionally made some of the platforming annoying to do. The puzzles aren't particularly difficult. It also had a habit of crashing near the end of chapters or if I alt tabbed, which, if you don't load into a new area, you end up having to repeat the level to progress. Overall, just kind of annoying and boring. As for the co-op, it appears to be local only and you can do it solo if you really wanted
