60 of 319 · most liked firstMimesis 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…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not only does ReLU use generative AI for this game without any steam page disclosures that I can see, but the devs have replied on threads in the community hub denying doing so. Or at least using lawyer-esque language to downplay the fact that they do (such as claiming they don't use gen AI for ""core"" features). On top of that, after reading their hidden away policy on the topic and looking into it a bit more, it seems that they reserve the right to use the voice recordings of you in game to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I get the concept and the idea is great, I have played all of the similar games like Lethal Company, REPO and Content warning. But I do prefer the other ones. I feel like the game lacks some features; for example the compass that you can buy is pretty much useless. It only points to the way out; but if you’re stuck deep it’s almost impossible to find the way out even with the compass. It shows the way out in birds view. Like a straight line. You get lost. It’s a copy paste game for Lethal and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is fine, it doesn't do anything better than repo or lethal company, but it's got one feature that is its main selling point. Mimesis, enemies that "perfectly imitate your teammates", "imitating you and your allies perfectly. Behavior, voice, anything humans can do. " is just absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. You will meet these enemies twice and you won't ever doubt whether they're actually your friend or an NPC. They are extremely predictable, never actually behave or even walk like normal people…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ngl after the first round I thought I was gonna refund this within 2h. Almost 7h later in one go, yeah, this is neat. It's pretty much a Lethal Company clone but with an LLM mimic feature that actually tries to make sense out of the voice clips it gets per session. When the session starts, it's not really impressive. But the longer you play (without creating a new session/lobby) and the more you yap, the more material it gets to use. Eventually the mimics become quite troublesome plus…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The monsters are not your true enemies. It is your friend with the shotgun in hand who thinks you are not real.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mimesis is Fundamentally Flawed ReLU Games is a publisher that uses generative AI and has lost my trust in this game and the developer as soon as I discovered it. When me and some friends played, we immediately noticed some issues with controls and the use of genAI on wall art and posters in the game. Nowhere on the steam page does it mention the use of AI usage in the game. Generative AI has no place in video game development and the creative industry as a whole, and its use here has pushed…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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 friends
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not going to refund, since it was very cheap, but as a game, I can't recommend it in its current state. The current draw of the game is, essentially, the gimmick 'mimic' enemies that repeat things your friends have said. They're funny, a little spooky, and at the current stage, fairly well done. The actual game surrounding the mimics is in a very rough shape. Everything from movement to animations feels almost pre-alpha, like they weren't intended to be seen yet. The enemies aside from the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I loved this game, UNTIL THE UPDATE! I streamed this with a friend and don't get me wrong, I think all the new features are great and it looks great... but the new mechanics of the new monsters are insane... on a level 2 monster run you are already absolutely rammed with monsters! And they're relentless! Your tiny stamina cant handle them at all! Even level 2 Toxicity is too much... It doesn't feel like a challenging fun game anymore, it feels so difficult that you might as well give up. I…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is very good, but it would be 100x better if it cloned your voice to make generated responses on the spot, and also in general to mimic how the player moves his character, talks, and their overall personality in a convinsing way that is context specific. Thats more demanding on the AI system but I think it'd be really cool if implemented well.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game needs a lot more time in the oven. It is fun and confusing at first. After about an hour it becomes extremely boring for lack of a better word. It has about an hour of original gameplay and then it becomes one thing on repeat until the end of eternity. Enemies need more work, gameplay loop needs more work, level design needs more work, items need more work, keybinds need more work, and a lot more needs more work.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The main idea of the game are mimes mimicking your friends, but besides that there is nothing special about this it. The mimicking mechanic is kind of lame: funny at the beginning, but then they just repeat a bunch of recorded phrases and move weirdly. Enemies look like a set of random assets. Movement feels like plastic, but maybe it's just a me thing. And the game is not even trying to be spooky besides being a horror-looter. And also FPS was worse than in other games of this genre.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mimes aren't very convincing, they just spew out random voicelines from before that they heard. While the gimmick seems fun at first, eventually there are just a bunch of blantant mimes chasing you with unconvincing pathfinding. Completely forget it if you aren't playing with friends. While the concept is good, I recommend buying Lethal Company, Content Warning or REPO instead.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not going to lie this is hands down the best in this type of game. devs look like they are on it .. and its already polished. Dont listen to the hate posts its just people who come here to be mad this game is 100% worth £8.50
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →cool concept however lack of options to mitigate motion sickness means I can't play this game for any meaningful period of time. I'll change my review if this is addressed.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fire Cheap game that's lots of fun. Similar to REPO and Lethal Company, and it's gonna be fun to switch between the 3. I only wish they allowed for more than 4 players because it would add so much chaos
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →1. The Devs have admitted to using AI generated assets (or at least heavily insinuated it) 2. This has no meaningful differences from lethal company with the mimic mod and copies a lot from it 3. The enemies do not fit in at all and look like asset flips from a different game altogether 4. There is an absurd amount of enemies even in the very first level to the point where they are in every room 5. The game doesn't bother explaining itself at all about any mechanic and just throws you straight…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Extremely disappointing finding generative AI within this game without any disclosure on the store page. The developers deny having any generative AI, while every game they have is made with GenAI. This needs to be disclosed on the store page for others to find, and for those able should promptly request refunds.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is cool but here are somethings the devs NEED to fix ASAP; 1. Make the jump useful so we can actually use it. 2. Make the subway map entrance more obvious (it takes a while just to find it) 3. Fix the garage door collision at the lobby (when you throw a colorful ball there it simply goes trough 4. Fix the way the game shows how many players are in the game (You can start the game with two people but if more join you can't see their profile when you hit Esc) 5. Increase the quantity of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i wanted to like this but the developer is an ai obsessed shop owned by krafton. i dont on principle support this title, the developer, krafton, or AI in general. I also had a mimesis use audio that was absolutely not uttered in game as the developer has stated it must. theres something very wrong here.

unlabelledView post →Tried my best to give this game a chance, refunded at like 1.9 hours tho. Absolutely zero content, mimic part is interesting and fun to abuse as you can make your friends think you’re a mimic, but other than that the levels are all the exact same, there is no interesting content, there is no counterplay as any monster one shots you, while taking the entire durability of any weapon to kill, which is useless because infinite can spawn meaning at some points you have 12 mimics running around and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hope the developers are reading the reviews. Positives: - It's fun. - It's Spooky. - It has tension. - The graphics and textures are solid. - Adaptive AI. - It incorporates all of the mods I liked in Lethal Company into base game. -Creature abilities are unique and well performed. -Excellent audio design. Not as Positives: - Since it's early in development, map variety is lacking with only 3 maps currently present and all map entrances seem to be quite far from the tram you start from (maybe…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Followed my friends mimic for 15 minutes straight talking back and forth and actually had a full conversation. It ate me when we it said "Come look at this real quick". 10/10 would ♥♥♥♥ my pants again
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it is fun if you have friends, but if you don't then don't buy the game, unless it gets an update that alows joining public servers like leathal company.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →We went into the round joking about how easy it would be to spot the fake. That confidence lasted maybe a minute. Someone called my name from the hallway and it sounded exactly like my teammate. The problem was he was standing right next to me when it happened. After that nobody played normally anymore. Every sentence turned into a small interrogation. People repeating the same line just to check the tone again. Someone answering a second too late and suddenly everyone is suspicious. The…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dont Listen to all the bad reviews for this game if you have 8.50 and at least a few friends it is so worth it the AI copying your voices adds so much to the game making you second guess everyone this game is a absolute gem and clearly the people giving this game negative reviews just dont have friends to play it with thats why they say this game is boring, so make some friends get this game and youll have a blast!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When playing this game you need to be patient it took us about 3-4 hours for the mimics to get really good, I hope in the future it would be possible to have an option to locally save the game data so that it will automatically know your voice and make the mimics really good as that is what makes the game fun. Also, I would love to see some sort of levelling system like phasmaphobia or a way to feel like you’re making meaningful progression that doesn’t end at the end of a session. Maybe…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it is very easy to detect mimics, as it just uses random voice clips you've said over your gameplay. albiet it can get a little trippy when there is a ton of yourselves walking around saying things you've said before. however, the map is terribly generated and looks the same everywhere. it is also procedural. in general, this game sucks besides the cool gimmick and repo is just way better in terms of gameplay and proximity chat. I'd love to see this game executed well, but in its current…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun co-op game, but difficult to find your way back from the location.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I see a great game if the necessary changes happen. Firstly the AI obviously needs to be upgraded in order to trick the players cause after a certain amount of playtime it becomes very detectable. Secondly since the game already has some kind of melee mechanic it should be more than smashing left click, maybe a dodge or a block and most definitely an indicator knowing where im shooting at with the paintball gun cause in the midst of utter chaos you, can not land a single shot. Also nerf the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is mis-advertised. The game does not profile your voice and make an AI. It just uses things you have already said in game to trick your partners in to confusing you for a mimic. The AI is used for distorting the pitch or tempo, and for choosing the correct context to use the words and phrases against you
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The only major flaws i've found is 1) the mimic can sometimes run you down like the cop from cloudy with a chance of meatballs, and 2) that the mimic's microphone quality is pretty bad and noticeable compared to the original quality of in game mics from friends.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the bundle includes 2 copies of each game: -MIMESIS -Killing Floor 3 -Streets of Rage 4 -We Were Here Forever -Vellum -Friends vs Friends Deluxe Edition -Storebound
unlabelledView post →Super disappointed to find out that AI is used for the art in this game vs hiring people to do it. I enjoyed it until i found that out. The lack of transparency on that turned me off enough to no longer play. Support the arts and pay people to do it..
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You HAVE to play it with friends and they need a working brain (optional) In general the AI is great even though sometimes it's not very convincing bc they run very fast and have very weird behavior, for a game in its early stages of updates and recently launched its very decent and worth the price Having to save money to fix the tram is harder than everything else in the game (Or my friends are just stupid and dont collect scrap at all) its hard to save a lot of money and buy items The…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Thought it was all sunshine and rainbows playing with friends until I heard someone call my name and I ran towards it and it wasn't them. Then I proceed to almost sh*t myself after hearing a BOOMBOX PLAYING! 10/10 really good game fr!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This mechanic of the “monster” mimicking you or your friend is something really cool and innovative, for the first two matches. After that, you’ll be able to tell exactly who’s the mimic and who’s real. The problem is that this basically feels like the only content the game has… You jump in, experience the innovative mechanic, and that’s it. The game doesn’t have enough content to last more than about 2 hours of gameplay.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The voice mimic stuff hits hard!!!! When it started using the same weird phrases we used to spot the fake, it actually threw us off and made the whole thing way more tense. The co-op runs clean and carries the whole loop. We played about three and a half hours and kept finding new events and threats, so the variation holds up. Tram repairs stay on that edge where you’re never relaxed but never fully panicking, and clutch finishes became kinda the norm for us. The best part was pushing…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is fun and chaotic. Unfortunatly we need to address the elephant in the room. Raise your hand if you want to willingly give up your voice to be either used without your permission, or used against you in some way. Raise your hand if you are ok with giving them the ability to copy an almost perfect cadence of your voice. To use it to build a library of how you speak. Now im sure they would NEVER do that right? No one would cave if offered obscene amounts of money for thousands of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →AI slop version of Lethal Company with the mimic mod It also played recordings and said things we did not say in the game but previously in other games. Really weirdly invasive and ew. Also it makes your pc go to high temps for no reason. Do not buy. Do not trust.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very disappointed in the game, the fact there is genAI art and company is genAI supported. Properly disclose the AI use in your game so other people don't waste their money.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it's fun the first time you play it but then it just sits there in your library untouched. It freezes a lot, he ai generated stuff and loud music you can't turn down are also very annoying, and the trailer looks way better than the actual game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very funny game, especially now that they've seemingly tweaked a few things like scrap spawnrate, which was apparently too low. (Which is perfectly balanced now in my opinion.) The mimicry is EXTREMELY well done. The trolling potential is near infinite and the mimics actually make pretty damn good use of the voice lines (even if they may be a bit obvious & wonky at times.) Even aside from the mimics, most of the monsters are pretty unique. Sure, some of them have mechanics you've probably…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's pretty good for 8 bucks. Another R.E.P.O. and Lethal company type game. Me and my friend have had a lot of fun so far. It'll probably only last a few weeks of good enjoyment, but for $8, I would recommend it. The AI in this game is actually believable at times.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Same concept as repo and lethal company with just a tiny twist. Map designs are absolute ♥♥♥♥
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →At first, I thought the mimic wasn’t very smart, but the longer you play, the harder it is to predict.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am very disappointed to have found out there is a bunch of GenAI slop in this game, with no disclosure. If I had known beforehand, I never would've installed it. Finding out this dev exclusively produces games with GenAI is extremely irritating. DISCLOSE YOUR AI SLOP Do not recommend, and will not play again
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →THIS IS CRAZY I GOT ANOTHER CUTE COMIC PIECE OF ME PLAYING MIMESIS WITH MY BUDDIES <3333 thank you so much Euan! W game, im a toilet :D
unlabelledView post →Not different enough from lethal company to be worth the same price. Mobs will insta-kill you, and you have to hit them 4-5 times to kill them. Your attack ranges are the same so it's basically a 50/50 coin flip every time you try to swing on if you survive or not. This game could've been a LC mod, except that mod already exists.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After the recent update that altered some foundations of the gameplay loop, I am confident in saying that Mimesis stands just a little above the other games that exist within its genre. Not the pinnacle of its kind, but a game that has some fun stuff to it. While it might seem easy enough to write off as "ye olde friendslop with voice-cloning NPCs," I think it has enough sauce that you should consider picking it up, if you wish to find a new game to dive into within this oversaturated market…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Okay so this game needs warmup time. The recent update added a lot of quality to it. The AI goes from repeating random phrases you said in specific ssituations, to actually making up their own phrases in your voice and tripping you up. I often was fooled and we had this moment of "wait it wasnt you saying that?" the game really needs more loot and a re-proportioning of resources though. We played pretty well imo and just couldnt seem to repair our train a lot of times, and never were able…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →KRAFTON’s involvement alone is enough to sour this for me. I have no interest in supporting an AI-first, aggressively corporate publisher that seems more than happy to throw its weight around when money is involved. So yes, that absolutely affects how I look at this game. That said, even on its own merits, I can’t recommend Mimesis right now. There are good ideas here. The AI integration is interesting and gives the game an identity, but the rest of the experience is far too thin, too…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My friend talked with my mimic for whole 5 minutes, it was beautiful and funny to watch. ( Also great reference on Brr Brr Patapim! )
