Why it matters
The early access launch turns a game that has been playtested intermittently since its May 2024 store page into a live product, with the planned single-player mode and three maps the measure of whether the deduction loop holds beyond private groups.

- Mimic is also planned for release on the Epic Games Store.

Matches put five players in official matchmaking, up to ten in private games, aboard the spaceship Icarus as Crew, Agent, or Mimic. The early access period plans three new maps and a single-player mode.
Mimic sets its matches aboard the Icarus, a ship judged unrecoverable after a mimicry alien boards it, and the crew's escape pods are the only way out. A murderous android NPC roams the ship regardless of voting and threatens humans and the Mimic alike. Players use proximity chat to deduce and manipulate, and dead players stay in the match as a ghost-like presence. Private matches allow adjustments such as one-hit kills and Mimic invisibility, and a Twitch integration lets viewers give instructions to the android.
