Mimic Hunter

Mimic Hunter is a 2.5D platform game starring Monsieur Ratimousse, a legendary master hunter. He sets out to find his former mentor, Barnabas, and stop an ancient demonic force from devouring the mortal world. Across seven towers, you jump, climb, fence with enemies, solve puzzles and riddles, and uncover the truth about the Unbound and the Hunters' Guild's past. The main story takes about 5–10 hours to complete, depending on your skill and chosen difficulty.

The journey

The game’s hand-drawn art and animations have a macabre style, and its cylindrical environments twist the way you navigate each level. The towers contain traps, timed puzzles, demonic riddles, lore to collect, and secrets to piece together. Some situations can be handled by avoiding combat or using the environment to defeat enemies; the various enemy types each have their own behavior.

Fencing and platforming

Jumping, climbing and fighting are central to making your way through the towers. You need to learn how to fence to overcome your foes, while puzzles may require you to gather lore and work out their secrets rather than rely on platforming alone.

Game modes

Alongside the story, Mimic Hunter includes Time Attack and Survival modes. Its Tower Builder is the same level editor used to create most of the game’s content: you can make towers with dialogue, scripted puzzles, traps and events, then share your creations with others.
