About MIMESIS
MIMESIS is a four-player co-op psychological horror game powered by AI technology. In a world where mysterious rain transforms humans into creatures called Mimesis, players must escape via tram, gather resources, and keep the vehicle running, all while paranoia mounts that one teammate may already have been replaced. The MIMESIS AI mimics voices, behaviours, and memories, creating tense psychological battles where trust itself becomes the ultimate trap.
MIMESIS x KRAFTON Creator Network
ReLU Games has also partnered with the KRAFTON Creator Network (KCN) to launch the “MIMESIS × KCN Creator Challenge.” KCN is KRAFTON’s global creator partnership program that supports streamers and influencers in promoting KRAFTON titles and growing their communities. Participating creators can share unique Creator Codes with followers and earn a 20 percent revenue share from package purchases made using those codes.
MIMESIS is now available worldwide on Steam with a 20 percent launch discount until November 10 at 7:59 AM CET. Players can watch the new trailer on YouTube, find more information on MIMESIS on the official website, or join the community on Discord and X.
