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.

I really enjoyed this game! The graphics, story, and the progression was fun and it kept me interested. There are plenty of jump scares and the gameplay is great.
OMG I loved this game so much. Everything about it was so well done and I had a blast playing it. I recorded it for my YouTube channel @Orafir and aside from my crappy PC I have it was so good. I fully recommend playing The Pale Mimic 100% <3

Przepiekna historia trzymam kciuki dla twórcy o więcej takich. Gra płynna bez zacięć dobrze się gra brak problemów. :) Wpadnie na mój kanał niebawem
Short, fun and atmospheric horror game. There's not a lot mechanics wise, and another "go hunting" task can feel repetitive, but the plot is solid enough, the creature is scary enough, and there's a dog you can interact with. What else can you wish. :D I enjoyed playing, especially interactions with Rocky. Now, here goes a big spoiler for those who want to know, if the dog will be okay, as I wanted before playing the game: [spoiler]yes the dog will be absolutely okay, unhurt and unscathed, there are a couple of tense moments, but everything will be fine with the pupper.[/spoiler] There's one downside though: I experienced a lot of crashes, mostly when reading the notes. I know that my hardware sometimes crashes the most unexpected games, but still this was unpleasant. Nevertheless, the chapters are short enough to be replayed fast. Recommend for everyone who wants a short, fun horror experiences. And for the dog persons of course. :)
Хоррором назвать можно с натяжкой, но автор хотя бы старался, лайк строго за это. У проекта прослеживается стилёк, несмотря на бюджет в банку колы и пиццу из столовки. Интересно ли мне было узнать, что будет в конце? Ну, скорее нет. Сюжет банален. Но его подача заслуживает похвалы и внимания и положительного отзыва.
[h1] Инди-хоррор на Unity (Хотя это не оный... Вроде...), этим все и сказано.[/h1] Неплохая игра на пару часов за [u] 400 деревянных [/u] , которые она отбивает с лихвой. Нетривиальный сюжет, однокнопочный геймплей, скримеры, налет саспиенса и загадочности, плюсом идет прекрасный собакен. Чисто атмосферную короткометражку глянул перед сном. Оптимизон хромает, все по базе, CPU разогревался, как бешенный, хотя игра и выдает стабильные 120 кадров. Графика в общем-то, не смотря на нелепые анимации(точнее одного нелепого во всем товрища), вполне сносная. Визуальны баги присутствуют, в духе отсутствия теней рук протеже, в остальном: Да сушай, неплохо. Наверное разочаровал только монстр с его прям ну ультра карикатурной моделькой и очень деревянными анимациями, при чем, что остальные анимации неплохие, и отсутствие озвучки ГГ, потому что [b] остальные голоса в игре есть, и они более того... Не поверите, они тоже даже очень неплохие. [/b] [spoiler] П.С. Позабавила надпись про собаку в конце :) [/spoiler]
An Amazing game!!! I would`ve liked to have interactive quick time events, though. I also did a "let`s play" for it on my channel, here is the first part: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2roqqbro-vk&t=1890s
絶対に騙されないでください 非常に好評という評価だけを見て購入した方が失うのは大きく外れた期待だけではありません。 貴重なお金も時間も失うことになるのです。 もう僕みたいな想いをする人を一人でも多く減らすことができればと思いレビューを書きました。 ほとんどの日数は寝るだけで終わり、起きたと思えば代り映えのない景色をひたすら歩かされ、 ワンクリックで鹿を始末し、また同じ道を戻り寝るだけです。 ただホラーというジャンルでみるならとても秀逸な作品だと思います。 これをゲームと呼んでお金払わせて時間を奪うのだからホラー以外のナニモノでもありません。 最期にもう一度だけ言います。 フリではありません。他の日本語レビューに絶対に騙されないでください。
Очень понравилась игра, отличный проект! Если в будущем понадобится помощь с озвучкой персонажей — с удовольствием поучаствую бесплатно. Хочется поддерживать такие проекты и помогать им развиваться. Если будет актуально — обращайтесь, буду рад помочь. Мой Twitch: ilyabackfist
[b]I achieved 100% of the trophies before writing this review.[/b] [u]A very atmospheric and slightly scary horror game with a cool idea, which is unfortunately ruined by how heavily scripted it is![/u] It has 20 chapters (days) in which you need to survive deep in the Alaskan wilderness while being hunted by a Mimic - a creature that can, well, mimic the voices of your friends and your dog. It's a great idea, but all the encounters are scripted! It's not like you go into the woods and suddenly hear something, triggering a random encounter. No, no! You are literally led to a specific place where a scripted attack will happen. There is no variety and not even an open world to explore, which makes the game repetitive and disappointing. I don't want to roast this game, so here are the pros: - Great atmosphere - the developers surely know how to create an unsettling environment. - A bit scary - while the encounters are scripted, they did make me jump a few times. - Story - it's OK. Nothing more, but nothing less either. - The cabin - your main base really feels like a safe space. - The dog - Rocky really feels like your companion, not just a soulless mesh of pixels. [u]Overall:[/u] I'm giving it a positive review because of the pros mentioned above, but I don't think it fully deserves it. I hope there will be [b]Pale Mimic 2[/b] with an open world and random encounters, like [b]Skinwalker Hunt[/b] or [b]Folklore Hunter[/b], in the future, because there is a lot of potential here - it just needs to be utilized!
