Mimic Hunt

Mimic Hunt is a 4 months Master 2 project made on Unreal Engine between October 2024 and January 2025 !

GAME CONCEPT

Mimic Hunt is a 4 players cooperative online FPS in which you hunt dangerous and deceiving creatures. It takes inspiration from other games like Lethal Company, Prop Hunt & Phasmophobia for mid to hard-core hunters seeking a high-quality, thrilling, and scary experience with funny social interactions.

The Mimic Hunters earn money by killing mimics, which are dangerous parasites that hide inside human belongings. The rule is simple : 

ANYTHING CAN BE A MIMIC.

These monsters will hide, ambush and challenge you at all costs. In a team of up to four hunters, each member will be equipped with a gun and a tool. You must cooperate and strategize to achieve your mission and, hopefully, survive.

HEADQUARTERS

You start in the HQ, which serves as a HUB to join and invite friends using the lobby code. Pay attention to the environment, you might find some helpful advice. You can also choose from 3 tools at your disposal on the workbench :

• a Mimic Whistle, to have sound feedback on their position. • an Ice Spray, to slow down the mimics. •  an Ammunition Box, to refill the team's ammo.

Split the items, discuss tactics, and then enter the truck to start the hunt !

You can get a glimpse of a run below if you'd like, but skip this part if you want to keep the surprise.
