Mimic: Social Deduction Horror Hits PC This October

Mimic, a new asymmetrical multiplayer horror game, launches in Early Access on PC October 27, 2026. It blends social deduction with survival horror on a failing spacecraft.

Ever played a game where you can't trust anyone? That's the premise of Mimic, a new asymmetrical multiplayer horror game coming to PC.

Developer Ryan Laley Games has announced that Mimic will launch in Early Access on October 27, 2026. It'll be available on Steam and the Epic Games Store. So if you're a PC player, mark your calendar.

The game mixes social deduction with survival horror. You and other survivors are stuck aboard a failing spacecraft. But here's the twist: one of you is secretly a shape-shifting alien. That means you'll need to figure out who's human and who's not—before it's too late.

Asymmetrical multiplayer games have become a popular niche, with titles like Among Us and Dead by Daylight leading the way. Mimic looks to combine the paranoia of social deduction with the tension of survival horror. The setting—a failing spacecraft—adds a claustrophobic feel that should keep you on edge.

Early Access means the game will evolve based on player feedback. Ryan Laley Games hasn't shared a roadmap yet, but expect updates and tweaks as the community gets involved. If you enjoy games where every interaction could be a lie, this one's for you.
