Use stealth to hide among supplies and consume the human invaders of your home. Fight your way through 6 floors of a totally realistic dungeon to save the society of mimics that live in the catacombs, and collect sweet loot doing so. But be wary of the dangers of venturing too deep.
Explore the Underground
Bounce your way through 6 carefully curated floors of the dungeon, and use different gameplay mechanics to face differing enemies. Choose between hiding among crates, barrels, and real chests for sneaky kills or charging headfirst through the pillared hallways to take on an army of explorers.
Each floor has a distinct character which influences what will be found there. Some floors may have you dodging through tunnels to avoid detection, while others you'd need to find ways to keep the lights on in the darkness to push forward. Once each floor has been cleared it will open up the way to move on through the dungeon. But you'd need to keep an eye on old floors as baddies can try to reclaim them, and the levels may provide handy items for later-game use.
Fight With Stealth
Unlike most dungeon crawlers, where you don't play as a living chest, Mimicry plays as a mixture of fighting hordes of enemies and of hide and seek.
The suspicion bar tells you how much adventurers will think you're just a chest, or if you're secretly a man-eating monster in disguise. Actions like standing still next to cargo lower your suspicion, while actively killing people around others guarantees you to have a full, blazing bar and you'll need to run for it. Use low suspicion to your advantage to get instant kills, which are much safer than non-instant kills and level you up faster.
Customize Your Playstyle
Choose your character from one of 4 specialized mimics that have their own unique playstyles. And beyond that, each mimic has customizable special attacks that can be leveled and affected by different loot.
There are the two types of mimics, wooden and reinforced, which each have their own light and heavy classes. Wooden mimics have movement focused abilities, such as rushing or body slamming and will require more energy. Reinforced mimics have equipment focused abilities such as whirling swords or throwing axes which use less energy, but cost items.
