Mimic Nights is a game where you must survive seven nights in a dark cabin filled with mimic monsters! Each night, the mimic tries to reach you. Every night, the monster chooses a new object to disguise itself as. Mimics only act in the dark. They move their chosen object when the light goes out, so you must carefully observe the surroundings in the cabin while your match is lit. You have only four matches and two bullets each night to shoot the mimic. Game Features: - Chilling atmosphere - Engaging gameplay that gets harder with each passing night - Two languages available (EN/RU) - Free to play with no ads or in-app purchases
