cool game ! 

Cool game! I really enjoyed it! It's both scary and funny. Check out my video @ nostromo_gaming: 

Another amazing game by Gemezl. I played Missing Hiker previously, and you have done it again. Nice job.

I liked the setup but ultimately I felt like the concept was wasted. It would be great if the process was investigative past just visiting different places and you had to spot the mimic trying to find the most uncanny valley npc or something.

gameplay if you're interested 

Loved EVERYTHING about this and Gemezl kills it with another AMAZING Game!!

The game's story is so engaging. with twists and turns that keep me guessing until the very end.

I'm always impressed by the game's attention to detail. with every aspect of the world feeling thoughtfully crafted.

I hate to say it but this game is really boring. Nothing happens for like 15mins. There isn't really much to do, which is ok some times for a small game but this game is more like a 3 to 5 min play through without the driving from point to point. Maybe this game will have an update, maybe have some dialogue appear on the radio or something. It's not really a game per say maybe it can be classified as a visual novel.

I hope you add more to this because at the moment this game feels like a modern day bag of chips looks good on the outside but mostly air on the inside.

Very Fun game! I enjoyed it very much and also the car being used as a way going around the map was a really nice change from other horror games. I think you should try to make this into a longer game!

Very good, I quite liked the unsettling atmosphere it builds though I wish there had been a bit more of an investigating mechanic, something more than just talking to people. I could see this being turned into a bigger game too, investigating mimic sightings in different areas. Overall, a great game with a cool visual style. Though I do need to ask, what in the world was that blood red wall in the woods???

I enjoyed this game a lot. I was unnerve by the dark woods as I felt like I could be attack at any moment. At the end I was very scared of the mimic so much so my hair started to stand up. Great game 5/5.

I thought this had a really cool atmosphere! Very tense and spooky driving around and investigating.

(+1)

This was an epic game with really good scary and creepy moments even if I thought the dialogue was just a little bit too much 

THEY ARE ALL MIMICS I SWEAR BY IT |  Mimic Search

The puzzles are challenging but fair. making solving them incredibly satisfying.

MIMIC SEARCH IS GAME OF THE YEAR

(+1)

This game is amazing, good story telling and was on the edge of my seat and had a lovely heart attack so thanks for that.

By far this developer's best work yet. The paranoia is at every corner and location and one of the most effective jumpscares I've experienced this year. Also, perfect length to tell this story. Well done, dev!

(+2)

YO GEMEZL! Yo this game had me SPOOKED, haven't felt what I felt while playing this game in a HOT minute, good stuff! I have a suggestion for the game at the end of my video if you want to check it out, otherwise, GOOD ASS GAME!!

JOGO FENOMENAL

edit: spelling lol

This game was a blast to play through. I really enjoyed impersonating a cop and I genuinely was scared/creeped out at some points while playing. Only issue I came across was getting the car stuck off the road at one point, but that's probably from me being stupid lol. Amazing game, keep up the great work.

This was such a fun game to play and I enjoyed editing the video just as much!! My only issue is that there's no way of fast travelling or checkpoints when you're replaying the game. Other than that I really loved it. The style, the characters, the ambience... Loved it!
