      That could be a great idea for a story, a community of mimics peacefully living in seclusion until a human goes missing nearby. The resulting investigation starts drawing in unwanted but unfortunately necessary attention.
      Protagonist would need to juggle helping the authorities solve the case as quick as possible while also making sure they don’t figure out what everyone living there actually is.

    The ending is definitely the weakest part, but I was genuinely on edge as Manly was walking around in the woods, trying to find the source of the screams without getting himself attacked. I absolutely think a sequel to this could be quite strong, just got to take advantage of what the mimic can do in a world where they're common knowledge.

      man, the atmosphere was great, I was totally expecting a twist, and bam wet fart of an ending. oof. cool overall as a concept, dev did a great job on the environment but just... oof. that was supposed to be like, the ONE "scary thing" (not just creepy atmosphere) and then it was just credits... it just did such a good job setting up to tell a story and then did nothing with it. "you shoot it and win" is not a satisfying payoff for an atmospheric horror game where you just drive around for a half an hour.

      Beats the garbage "protagonist dies"/"protagonist is the monster" ending most horror games like to shove down player's throat for the sake of being "scary" (which they aren't, because they are merely telling you that your playthrough was pointless.). Still, there could be more to the ending in this game than just "You killed it.", yeah.

      @EffeminateCowardlyVillain หลายเดือนก่อน +70

      @@mrrooter601 Honestly ending was fine, you could tell it was being set up for a You Die/Win ending. Mean from the very start your goal was to find and neutralize the mimic, it basically told you plain as day you were either going to kill it or die, and not everything needs a twist lol
      Personally found it refreshing.
      ONLY complaint is that they hyped the mimic up by calling it a "trained predator" and other stuff, then had you take it out with what is arguably a lower calibre gun. ATLEAST have like a Magnum Research BIG FRAME REVOLVER for the MC, the handgun you have in the game would be a peashooter to something like a bear or a rhino and if the mimic is as hard as it's hyped to be it shouldn't have skin weak enough to fire a BB through. Like keep everything exactly as it is but change the gun model, firing animation, bullet sound, etc to make you really feel the power you have to use to kill the mimic, just so even subconsciously you recognize "wow that's one bad bitch I just killed". I wanna feel like my shoulder would dislocate from the firepower I'd need to kill a supernatural entity, and maybe even that wouldn't properly kill it just temporarily disable it.

      ​​@@EffeminateCowardlyVillain i dunno, 9mm is a lot bigger than most give it credit for, and the reson something like that doesnt hurt a bear to horribly bad is because of how much muscle mass they have, the mimic is human sized, so it can NOT have anywhere near that much muscle, meaning an average handgun would work fine.
      Also a real bullet does a hell of a lot more than a bb does.

    I thought for sure that the end would have a twist that they were all mimics. We were warned early on that mimics don't blink (nobody blinked) and that they work as a pack to take out prey. Every person you encounter directed you to the next person, almost like a daisy chain / early warning system so they could all meet in the forest.
    I really expected them to return. Instead, it was just the ultra-crappy skinned person that runs at you and takes 2 bullets and drops.

      that’s understandable to have wanted if you’re not familiar with what this is based on. vita carnis is an analog horror series about living meat animals/plants appearing in the 1930s and how the world has adjusted to them, so rather than a skinned person, mimics are a predator species imitating prey as best they can.

    just realized but that one poster at the gas station hints that people who dont blink are mimic's... none of the npc's seem to blink...
    the guy joking about being a mimic is probably a mimic, the cop standing around when your own character says its safer inside a vehicle might be hinting at the cop being a mimic gotten after making his call.
    most of the npc's act more like mimic's meaning the reason no one knows is because one of them hints theyve already expanded into this area with the sharing of info, literally telling a white faced lied thats true yet posed as a "i know they might be expanding"
    because most of them are.

    I actually kinda like the ending, though I agree the Mimic should probably be a bit faster when its charging you. Right now it looks like it runs at the pace of just a dude walking.
    But overall I like the idea that even if this is a terrifying monster that could be anyone and if it gets the jump on your you're dead it still can't stand up to getting Mag Dumped. Because that makes it seem more tangible, more real.

    While gameplay-wise, this was a pretty typical walking simulator horror, I actually really liked the set-up. There's something refreshing about a horror scenario where the monsters are a known threat, not a crazy secret everyone is trying to keep hidden from the world. It did make me hungry for a more involved game where you really do have to investigate to find the mimic, like a full on detective-interrogation game. It's a honestly a refreshing change of pace for me, since so many of these indie horror games rely so heavily on insane plots or characters making the most inhuman choices.

    The easiest way to deal with mimics that show up in stories if you’re scared they will copy someone is to:
    1. Have a set of a couple of code phrases or personal statements that you regularly change and forbid to be written down.
    2. Have a synopsis of general information about a person to see if you can catch them in a lie. (I.e. ask how there dog is doing when they’re highly allergic to dog hair or why they stopped partying when they’re antisocial)

When you back track, you find out your car radio has been sabotaged. As you make your way around the map again, you find out previously talked-to NPCs are now dead, and you could have chance encounters with the mimic. In one encounter, you would lose your gun in the fight, even if you win. Now you have to find an alternative weapon while fleeing from a wounded mimic.
