Mimic Hunters

Mimic Hunters is an asymmetric prop hunt in which Mimics disguise themselves as objects while Hunters search for them. Mimics must avoid detection not only by the Hunters’ observation but also by sounds from their microphones. Hunters use spatial audio and memory to identify suspicious props.

Play as a Mimic

A Mimic can transform into any prop on the map. Sound from a disguised Mimic comes from the prop’s precise location, including above or behind a Hunter, and grows clearer and louder as the Hunter gets closer. Mimics can record and trigger custom sound cues across three audio tracks to tease Hunters, confuse them or lure them into dead ends.

Search as a Hunter

Hunters must memorize the layouts of three detailed locations and look for changes, such as a chair turned the wrong way or an extra bottle on a shelf. Shooting the wrong object freezes a Hunter for 5 seconds, leaving them vulnerable while the Mimic escapes.

Maps and audio

The maps are packed with props for exploration and ambushes. The game uses positional voice chat from players’ microphones, placing a Mimic’s sound at its disguise’s location.
