The Pale Mimic

The Pale Mimic is a linear, narrative-driven horror game with a definitive beginning and end. You play a high-profile fugitive hiding in the cold, untamed wilderness of Alaska, with your dog as your only companion. Your cabin offers a place to plan, but the forest is the hunting ground of a creature that belongs there more than you do.

Survive in the wilderness

Most days, you hunt large game to stay alive, with only brief rests at the cabin to plan your next move. When food runs low, you venture into the frozen forest with your dog, who guides you and helps track prey. You track, kill and butcher large game, then must bring the meat back to the cabin. The hunt is difficult, and something watches as you stalk your prey. Other days bring unexpected events in the forest.

Evade the creature

The creature is fast and strong, and uses mimicry to lure you out. It prefers stalking to direct confrontation: it may imitate your dog’s whine to make you open the door, the sound of prey to deceive you, or a familiar voice to lead you into a trap.
