From Press Release:
EL SEGUNDO, CALIF. – OCTOBER 27, 2025 – ReLU Games, a creative studio under KRAFTON, Inc., today launched its new four-player co-op survival horror game MIMESIS in Early Access on Steam. Blending teamwork, paranoia, and AI-driven deception, MIMESIS challenges players to escape a world where anyone could be the enemy. To mark the launch, ReLU Games has released a new cinematic trailer, and players can pick up the game at a 20% launch discount until November 9 at 10:59 PM PST.
Following its breakout success during Steam Next Fest, where it ranked among the Top 4 most-played demos, MIMESIS returns in Early Access with expanded content, including new maps, monsters, and Scrap items that deepen the core gameplay loop of resource gathering, survival, and mistrust.
About MIMESIS
MIMESIS is a cooperative psychological horror experience powered by AI. In a world where mysterious rain transforms humans into doppelgängers known as “Mimesis,” players must work together to repair and operate a tram to escape—but one player may already have been replaced.
- As paranoia spreads, the line between ally and impostor blurs. The game’s proprietary MIMESIS AI system mimics player voices, behaviors, and memories, creating dynamic psychological tension where trust becomes the ultimate trap.
- During each session, players are forced to cooperate to survive while managing the constant fear of infiltration. Every sound, voice, and movement could belong to a creature that has learned to imitate the human it once was.
- MIMESIS delivers an evolving horror experience where social deduction meets survival strategy—an unsettling twist on multiplayer cooperation.
MIMESIS × KRAFTON Creator Network
ReLU Games has also partnered with the KRAFTON Creator Network (KCN) to launch the “MIMESIS × KCN Creator Challenge.”
Through KCN—KRAFTON’s global creator partnership program—streamers and influencers can share unique Creator Codes with their followers and earn a 20% revenue share from purchases made through those codes.
To learn more, be sure to follow MIMESIS on social media (Discord | X), watch the official launch trailer on YouTube, and check out MIMESIS on Steam and the official website.
