About
The untamed wilderness of Alaska is beautiful, cold, and unforgiving. As a high-profile fugitive on the run, this desolate landscape is your only hiding spot, with your dog as your sole companion. But in these woods, the peaceful silence is a lie. The environment is not just your hideaway—it is the hunting ground for something that belongs here more than you do.
"The Pale Mimic" is not an infinite survival game; it is a linear, narrative-driven horror experience with a definitive beginning and end.
Your cabin is your only refuge, but safety is an illusion. On most days the core of your existence is hunting large game just to survive a little longer, with only brief respite at the cabin to plan your next move. On other days, the forest will have unexpected surprises for you.
When outside, the hunt begins.
When food runs low, you must venture into the frozen forests, where your dog is your guide and key to tracking anything. What starts as a simple hunt for game quickly turns into a struggle for survival. You will track, kill, and butcher large game, but this process is far from easy. As you stalk your prey, something is watching. Keep your wits about you, lest the hunter become the hunted.
You must bring the meat back to survive, but the creature is waiting for you to turn your back on the woods. It is fast, strong, and relies on a terrifying form of mimicry to lure you out. As a stalker, it prefers to avoid direct confrontation. It might mimic your dog’s whine to make you open the door, the sound of prey to trick you, or a familiar voice to lure you into a trap. Out here in the middle of nowhere, imitation is the highest form of horror.

bro,你游戏里的狗和你的狗做的稍微像一点啊我操嘞 狗很可爱
Крутецкая игра, почти все время держала в напряжении, прикольная задумка. Есть пару недочетов: из существенных – это подсказки на заданиях, которые почти прямым текстом говорят, что сейчас мимик нападет, и портят всю атмосферу. Очень маленькая карта, финальный бой очень деревянный и вообще не вписывается в хоррор, мало с чем можно взаимодействовать, надоедает однообразие охоты, анимации/однотипное поведение врага и очень быстрое прохождение игры. Но плюсы все равно перекрывают это. Один раз выйти на улицу ночью или чуть не открыть дверь мимику было достаточно, чтобы покрыться холодным потом. Заметки и повествование об этом чудище… Ну и, конечно же, пес "Рокки" — единственное, что помогало и в охоте, и в финальном бою, и лично мне не дать выйти из игры, потому что бегавшую по стенкам дома и прыгавшую по горам тварь я перенести бы сам не смог. А так его еще и гладить можно, и в мячик играть. В общем, с учетом того, что игру делала не большая компания , а вероятнее всего 1 или группа людей , это очень хорошо! Сделано с душой и запомнится мне надолго.( еще та вставка с собакой автора в конце просто космос )

Классная игра за собаку Рокки переживал больше чем за себя
Fun little indie horror game set in the Alaskan wilderness. There are some parts that genuinely gave me the creeps and I do this it is worth a quick play to support the devs and for a short experience. I will say though that the gameplay was pretty simplistic and it almost feels like just going between cutscenes with interspersing exploration parts. Not saying there is anything wrong with that but I did keep thinking that the game mechanics were going to progressively get more challenging and play into the feeling of being hunted and this never really materialized to be honest. I think this is kind of exemplified by the final scene being essentially a set of cutscenes that you walk your character between as opposed to letting the player fend off the thing that has been stalking him the whole time. Still would recommend for fans of indie horror but moderate expectations of the level of gameplay you are in store for.
Игра очень атмосферная, местами пугающая. В духе фильма "Нечто"
Простенький хоррор на пару часов, если вы фанаты вендиго, скинволкеров и подобной нечисти, вам понравиться, пару раз можно даже обосраться! Однако повторюсь, система игры очень простая, охоты и выживания как механики там нет, это скорее сюжетные элементы по типу "иди за собакой и убей оленя", но всё равно игра прикольная
You can tell this game is made by a solo dev. That's not inherently a bad thing. Gameplay is kind of repetitive, but the shortness of the game itself makes that tolerable. The 'point' of said repetition is the tension, which is well executed, and the brevity means that the game doesn't overstay its welcome despite not bringing a whole ton of variety to the table. There are jump scares, but the horror element is far more about tension and expectation. The game might take you a couple of hours, absolute tops, and most of that will be because there are a couple of days with unclear directions. Particularly the "follow the sound" sequences, which are not directional and you have to follow based on volume on a period noise.. Which stops playing after awhile. Still, a solid little experience. Get it on sale if you can, but at 8$ it's not over priced at default.

Based protagonist- But yeah, this was a pretty short but fun one. It's got a pretty good atmosphere and doesn't overstay its welcome. I enjoyed the story quite a bit, animations pretty decent, and overall it's a pretty tight packed experience that's easy to get through in an evening if you have the time. Would highly recommend. Also you can pet the dog-
крутая игра но ничего не понятно, 10/10
