At first, I thought the mimic wasn’t very smart, but the longer you play, the harder it is to predict.

Thought it was my friend who talked, It wasn`t. Good game for fun nights with your friend (all of them are real)

👍 Recommended 5h played

The AI is so good its actually convincing. my friends will die and an AI will completly mimic them and trick me then kill me. This game is 100% worth a try with some friends

👍 Recommended 27h played

For the content and the size of the game, there are really few maps and content is really slow to come out (like, bus skins? come on devs...). But the game is highly recommended, tons of fun

👍 Recommended 5h played

This game is fun. I’ve played it since it was a demo. It’s improved a lot. My biggest complaint was that the monsters were too OP; and that loot was too scarce for the beginning levels. Since floor loot was so scarce it felt impossible to buy upgrades to kill the monsters because some monsters like the Owl are extremely annoying. Can’t wait for it to improve on the mimic tech. It is very similar to repo and lethal company.

👎 Not Recommended 1h played

Don't be fooled by all the game clips online or the positive reviews. This game is genuinely not in playable condition and becomes extremely stale fast. The AI doesn't really trick you and takes a long time to pick up on your phrases and movements. Its $10 and you could just buy a fully fleshed out game like Lethal Company, Escape the Backrooms, or REPO instead and have many more hours of fun with friends for the same price. If this wasn't a gift I would have refunded it.
