Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

Leaving Early Access: Dec 31, 2026

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We want to involve the community directly in the final stages of The Mimic’s development. Prop Hunt games rely heavily on balance, fun interactions, and tactical gameplay. Early Access allows us to gather real-time feedback on map design, spatial audio positioning, and core mechanics to polish the game alongside our players—and most importantly, to listen to our community.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to keep the game in Early Access for approximately 3 to 6 months. This timeline provides enough room to collect player feedback, optimize network code, and polish content without delaying the full release.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version of the game is planned to include:

Additional detailed maps with unique interactive props.

An expanded selection of magic spells and new abilities.

Refined 3D spatial audio settings and enhanced mechanics for audio-based gameplay.

Overall game improvements, balance tweaks, and community-requested features.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is fully playable and includes all core functionality. It features 3 detailed maps, functional microphone/audio mechanics, and a complete system for prop morphing and dispelling. Players can jump in and enjoy full multiplayer matches from day one.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to maintain a slightly lower price during Early Access as a thank-you to early supporters. The price may increase moderately upon full release as new maps, mechanics, and content are added.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We will actively engage with players through our official Discord server and Steam Discussion forums. Player feedback, bug reports, and balance suggestions will directly influence upcoming patches, quality-of-life updates, and development priorities.”

About This Game

MEMORY, STEALTH, AND YOUR OWN VOICE

Welcome to The Mimic: Magic Prop Hunt — an asymmetric magical Prop Hunt where ordinary hide-and-seek turns into a psychological duel. Here, disguised Mimics are threatened not only by the Hunter's sharp eye, but also by their own microphone, while Hunters must rely on spatial audio and a sharp memory.



SPATIAL 3D AUDIO & 3 SOUND TRACKS

Your microphone is your ultimate weapon — and your primary trap.

  • 3D Spatial Positioning: Sound from a disguised Mimic originates precisely from the prop’s location (left, right, above, or right behind your back).

  • Dynamic Volume: The closer a Hunter gets to your hiding spot, the clearer and louder they hear your voice or laughter in their headphones.

  • 3 Audio Tracks: Record and trigger custom sound cues to tease Hunters, confuse them, or lure them into dead ends!



THE ULTIMATE TEST OF OBSERVATION

Forget about basic hide-and-seek in empty rooms.

  • Absolute Transformation: A Mimic can morph into literally any prop on the map.

  • Master the Details: Hunters must memorize the layouts of 3 unique, highly detailed locations. Is that chair turned the wrong way? Did an extra bottle appear on the shelf? Check it!

  • The Cost of a Mistake — 5-Second Freeze: If a Hunter shoots the wrong object, they are instantly frozen for 5 seconds, left completely vulnerable while the Mimic makes a clean escape.



GAME FEATURES:

  • Atmospheric Locations: Detailed maps packed with props, designed for deep exploration and clever ambushes.

  • Real-Time 3D Audio: Full immersion through positional voice chat straight from the players' microphones.

  • High-Stakes Gameplay: The freeze penalty forces Hunters to think carefully instead of spamming spells at everything in sight.

  • Built for Parties & Streaming: Designed for chaotic Discord sessions, hilarious fails, and high-energy chases.
